Which pack size suits your needs?

Office with regular snacking

If the tin is topped up often, a 500 g bag that you can share out is worth considering. Jumbo, PLUS and ALDI list taaitaai in this size; Dirk’s search results include a 500 g mini version.

Buyer for a small or changing team

If you’re not sure how quickly the tin will empty, you could start with a smaller bag. PLUS lists a 250 g version. Albert Heijn’s 3-pack contains three separate items, so you don’t have to open them all at once.

Office where allergens are a concern

Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging before colleagues help themselves from the tin. The Jumbo and PLUS versions reviewed list cereals containing gluten and milk; warnings about the possible presence of other allergens vary by product.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, match the amount you open to how quickly the tin gets used. Then check the label on the pack you’ve chosen, especially if colleagues need to be mindful of allergens.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this most important for?
Amount to share Check the net weight and any serving information on the bag you’ve chosen. If the tin empties regularly, I want enough taaitaai to put out without having to open a new bag each time. Around 33% of consumers prioritise having enough to share.
Allergen information Read the ingredients list and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens on the packaging. If colleagues need to consider allergens, I want to be able to show them what’s stated on the bag I bought. For around 33% of consumers, checking this is the top priority.
Unopened запас Check how many individual bags you’re buying; the AH Taai taai 3-pack is supplied as three separate items. If I’m filling several tins, I want to be able to open each bag when needed. Around 20% of consumers prioritise planning their запас.
Storage after opening Choose an amount that suits how quickly it will be eaten, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. If people only help themselves occasionally, I don’t want to leave a large bag open for a long time. Around 14% of consumers put storage after opening first.

Common mistakes

  • Opening a large bag without a storage plan

    If people snack on it slowly, some of the taaitaai will stay open for longer. A tin that doesn’t seal properly can affect its quality.

    Top up the tin with a smaller amount and keep the rest well sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, as the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises for biscuits.

  • Sharing taaitaai without the label information

    The Jumbo and PLUS versions reviewed list cereals containing gluten and milk. Depending on the version, there may also be warnings about other allergens.

    Read the label on the pack you bought and make the information available to colleagues who want to check what they can eat.

  • Treating old product information as definitive

    The ingredients and allergen information on a product page may not match the packaging you buy later.

    When filling the office biscuit tin, use the information on the bag you actually bought.

Frequently asked questions

How much taaitaai should I buy for a shared office biscuit tin?

Start with one bag if you’re not sure how quickly it will be eaten; a 500 g bag is an option for a tin that’s topped up regularly. Jumbo states that its 500 g Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes provides around 36 servings. A 3-pack is better suited to several tins or keeping unopened bags in reserve.

Which allergens should I check in taaitaai for the office?

Read the allergen information on the packaging of the version you’ve chosen before sharing the taaitaai. The Jumbo and PLUS products reviewed list cereals containing gluten and milk, among other ingredients; some versions also warn of the possible presence of other allergens.

How should I store opened taaitaai in the office biscuit tin?

Keep the taaitaai well sealed in a cool, dry, dark place. This is in line with the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s storage advice for biscuits. Follow the instructions on the packaging you bought, too, and top up the tin with smaller amounts if the contents are being eaten slowly.
