If you want colleagues to be able to take a wrapped biscuit, choose taaitaai that is explicitly described as individually wrapped for the exact variant. Van Delft describes its taaitaai figures this way, but check that the variant is available. If you’re serving them from a platter, you can compare bag sizes from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS; also check the label and storage advice after opening.
If people need to be able to pick up a wrapped biscuit when they arrive or alongside their coffee, it’s important to check that the product is explicitly described as individually wrapped. Van Delft describes its taaitaai figures as individually wrapped, making them suitable for sharing at work, for example.
For a shared serving occasion, you can choose a bag size to suit the group. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS offer 500 g taaitaai varieties; PLUS also has a 250 g option.
Check the label on the exact product before buying and serving it. The supermarket varieties described list ingredients including wheat, rye and milk or milk protein; also check any warnings about other allergens.
First, decide whether guests need to be able to take a wrapped biscuit themselves or whether you’ll be serving them from a bag. Then check the exact variety, the label and how much you’ll need.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individually wrapped biscuits | Does the description for the exact variety explicitly say that the biscuits are individually wrapped? Also check how many there are. | If colleagues will be taking something without a shared serving occasion, you’ll want everyone to be able to pick up a wrapped biscuit. Around 46% of consumers prioritise this convenience when sharing. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging, including any warnings about cross-contamination. | If you need to consider guests who avoid certain ingredients, you’ll want to be able to check the information before serving. For around 27% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
| Quantity and storage | Compare the net weight with the number of people you expect, and check how to store the biscuits after opening. | For drinks with a shared platter, you’ll want to serve enough without having too much left over. That’s why around 27% of consumers prioritise bag size and how to store leftovers. |
A 250 g or 500 g bag tells you nothing about how the individual biscuits are packaged. Van Delft describes its taaitaai figures as individually wrapped, but that doesn’t automatically apply to another variety.
Check that the product page or packaging for the variety you choose explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’.
The range on offer can change: Van Delft listed availability for another taaitaai product in week 46, while an older variety was no longer in Jumbo’s online range.
Before planning your get-together, check which exact variety you can order and when it can be delivered.
The taaitaai varieties described list ingredients including cereals containing gluten and milk or milk protein. Ingredients and allergen warnings can vary between varieties.
Read the label on the pack you buy and keep the packaging available while serving.
Van Delft describes its taaitaai figures as individually wrapped, making them suitable for sharing at work, for example.
AH Taai taai comes in a 500 g bag, for serving straight from the pack.
Jumbo Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes is a 500 g variety for serving from the bag.
PLUS has taaitaai varieties in 250 g and 500 g packs, so you can choose a bag size to suit the occasion.
Don’t assume a variety is suitable without checking first. The Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS varieties described list wheat, rye and milk or milk protein; also read any warnings about other allergens on the label of the pack you buy.
Follow the storage advice on the packaging you choose. Albert Heijn recommends storing its taaitaai in a sealed tin after opening; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
