Who is a sharing bag suitable for?

People organising a sharing occasion

You need enough taaitaai for a group, while also taking other snacks and any leftovers into account. ALDI, Jumbo, PLUS and Dirk each list a 500 g version.

Parents and carers mindful of allergens

You’re sharing taaitaai with a group whose members may have different dietary restrictions. Ask in advance which allergens are relevant, and check the ingredients and warnings on the pack you’ll be handing out.

Buyers who want to hand out small portions

You want to share taaitaai as a treat without leaving the whole bag out for everyone to help themselves. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a small portion of biscuits or sweets for children, and suggests fruit and vegetables as other snacks.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how many people will be eating and whether anyone has allergies. Then consider which shop is most convenient and how you plan to hand out the taaitaai.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Pack size Compare the net weight with the number of people and the other snacks. The versions listed by ALDI, Jumbo, PLUS and Dirk contain 500 g. If I’m putting something out for a group, I want enough taaitaai without unnecessary leftovers; pack size is the biggest consideration for around 36% of consumers.
Allergens Ask about relevant allergies and read the current label, including any warnings about possible cross-contamination. When sharing with a mixed group, I want to know whether the taaitaai I’ve chosen is suitable for everyone; allergens are the top priority for around 29% of consumers.
Shopping options Check whether you can buy, collect or have the bag delivered through your chosen retailer. When planning my shopping, I want to know how I can get the bag; the retailer and how to buy it are the first considerations for around 21% of consumers.
Portions Decide how much taaitaai you want to give each child, and ask the school or after-school club about any rules for treats. When taaitaai is a treat for children, I want to be able to control how much each child gets; portions are the top priority for around 14% of consumers.

What’s best to check in advance?

  • Assuming everyone can eat the same taaitaai

    The product name doesn’t tell you which ingredients and allergens may matter to the people who’ll be eating it. Warnings about possible cross-contamination are worth checking too.

    Ask about dietary restrictions in advance and check the label on the pack you’ll actually be handing out.

  • Putting out a large bag without planning portions

    A sharing bag doesn’t tell you how much each child will get. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a small portion of biscuits or sweets for children.

    Divide the taaitaai into portions in advance if you want to limit how much each child gets.

  • Waiting until after you’ve bought it to ask about school or after-school club rules

    If you’re planning to hand out taaitaai during an organised activity, rules about treats and allergies may affect your choice.

    Before buying, ask what you’re allowed to bring and how the group manages allergies.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 500 g bag of taaitaai enough to share?

A 500 g bag can be a useful size for sharing, but whether it’s enough depends on the number of people, the other snacks and the portion size per person. ALDI, Jumbo, PLUS and Dirk list versions in this size.

What should I check if someone has a food allergy?

Ask which allergens are relevant to that person, then check the ingredients and any warnings on the current packaging. Don’t rely solely on the product name or information from a bag you bought previously.

Can I hand out taaitaai at school or an after-school club?

Before bringing taaitaai in, ask the school or after-school club what rules they have about treats and allergies. Also think about the portions you plan to hand out.

How should I store an opened bag of taaitaai?

Follow the storage instructions on your pack of taaitaai and reseal the bag after use. PLUS recommends storing its listed version in a cool, dry and dark place.
