A large bag of taaitaai is a good choice if you need several portions and can store the contents properly once opened. If you want to take biscuits with you individually or hand them out, only choose a pack that clearly shows separate wrappers or seals: ‘mini’ or ‘2-pack’ tells you nothing about the inner packaging.
Want to keep biscuits separate, hand them out or eat them over time? Before buying, check whether the pack shows individual wrappers or seals. A small outer pack doesn’t tell you what’s inside.
A larger bag could be a good fit if you’re sharing taaitaai with several people at home. Choose an amount you can use up, and seal the pack well after opening.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed on the label of prepacked foods.
First, decide whether individually wrapped portions are essential. Then compare the quantity you need, and always check the label of your chosen product for any relevant allergens.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Look for separate wrappers or seals, and check how many portions the pack contains. | If I want to take taaitaai with me or hand it out, the inner packaging needs to make that possible. This is the top priority for around 39% of consumers. |
| The right quantity | Compare the net weight and think about how you’ll store the biscuits after opening. | If I’m sharing with several people, I need enough taaitaai without opening more than I can store properly. This quantity is the top priority for around 38% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the exact pack. | If I need to avoid certain allergens, the label on the product I’ve chosen comes before packaging convenience. Around 23% of consumers put this check first. |
These words describe the size or outer packaging, not necessarily a separate wrapper for each biscuit or portion.
Before choosing taaitaai to take with you, check the inner packaging in a current product photo or on the pack itself.
The ingredients in the product you buy may differ from information you’ve read before. This is especially important if you need to watch out for allergens.
Before eating, check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack.
