Who is a sharing bag for?

Parents who want to share something with a class or team

A 500 g bag can be a starting point for sharing with a group. Whether it contains enough depends on the size of the group, the school's rules and the label on the bag you choose.

People buying for a group with allergies or dietary requirements

Check in advance what the group can eat. The Jumbo and PLUS bags mentioned list cereals containing gluten and milk; before handing them out, check the packaging of the bag you actually bought.

People planning to share on several occasions

Individual bags can be handy if you’re buying for different groups or days. Albert Heijn’s taaitaai multipack contains three separate 500 g bags.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check whether taaitaai fits the school’s rules and is suitable for the group. Then choose the quantity and check that the bag you want is available in time.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Allergens and school rules Ask what the school allows and whether anyone has dietary requirements or allergies. Read the label on the bag you choose. You want to know whether taaitaai can be shared with the group without overlooking anyone’s allergy or the school’s rules. For around 42% of consumers, suitability is the top priority.
Quantity Compare the contents of each bag and decide whether you need one bag or several individual ones. For one group, you want to bring enough without having lots left over; for several occasions, you want to be able to divide the bags between them. Around 33% of consumers prioritise choosing the right quantity.
Availability Check the range at the shop where you plan to buy and make sure the product is available shortly before you intend to share it. As the school occasion approaches, you want to know whether you can still get the seasonal bag you want in time. Availability is the top priority for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large bag is automatically suitable as a school treat

    The quantity says nothing about allergies, dietary requirements or the school’s rules. The Voedingscentrum recommends asking about these in advance.

    Check with the school or group leader before buying. Choose something else if taaitaai isn’t suitable for the group or doesn’t fit the school’s rules.

  • Choosing based on quantity alone

    Two 500 g bags aren’t automatically interchangeable when buying for a group that includes people with allergies. The Jumbo and PLUS varieties mentioned list, among other things, cereals containing gluten and milk.

    Only compare quantities once you’ve checked the label on the specific bag.

  • Assuming taaitaai is always available

    The taaitaai varieties mentioned are also sold as seasonal products, so availability around the start of the school year is worth bearing in mind.

    Shortly before you plan to share it, check the range at the shop where you intend to buy and, if necessary, arrange an alternative in good time.

  • Relying solely on online ingredient information

    Product information can change. If allergies are a concern, the information on the packaging of the bag you bought is what matters.

    Read the label again before handing out the taaitaai.
