If you’re specifically looking for chocolate-coated taaitaai for Vlaggetjesdag, Jumbo Taai Taai Melkchocolade 250 g is one named option. If a coating isn’t essential and you mainly want taaitaai to hand out, compare plain varieties from retailers including ALDI, Jumbo and PLUS, which are also available in 500 g packs. Before buying, check the current packaging for ingredients, allergens and best-before information. And don’t assume that a product mentioned for a previous event will be available next time.
If you want to bring along a treat with a chocolate coating, check the exact product name. Jumbo lists Taai Taai Melkchocolade 250 g; the general description ‘taaitaai’ doesn’t, by itself, indicate that it’s coated.
Pack size is a useful point of comparison when buying for a group. ALDI Taai-taai, Jumbo Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes and PLUS Taai taai sint en piet are each listed in a 500 g pack.
If you’re buying for someone with a food allergy, don’t judge a product by its name or picture alone. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly stated on the label. Check the current packaging before serving the taaitaai.
First, decide whether a chocolate coating is essential. Then compare how much you want to take with you, and check the current packaging if you need to take allergens into account.
