If you want to give each attendee a sealed biscuit, choose taai-taai that is explicitly confirmed as individually wrapped: Van Delft states that its taai-taai figures are wrapped individually. For a shared platter, a bag of mini taai-taai is more suitable for serving, but a bag or multipack doesn’t prove that the biscuits are individually wrapped. Before your meeting, also check the allergens on the packaging and make sure the product is available.
If you want to offer each attendee an unopened biscuit, look for confirmation that the exact product is individually wrapped. Van Delft says its taai-taai figures are wrapped individually; check that those particular figures are available.
A bag of mini taai-taai could be ideal for an informal break. Work out how much you need based on the size of your group, and don’t assume there are individual wrappers inside unless this is confirmed on the product.
If attendees have questions about ingredients or allergens, the label on the packaging you buy is important. Jumbo and PLUS list wheat, rye and milk, among other ingredients, for the taai-taai products described; check the label on the product you’re serving.
First decide whether each attendee needs a sealed biscuit or whether sharing from a platter is enough. Then choose a pack size to suit your group, and read the label before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed portion | For the exact product, look for explicit confirmation that the biscuits are individually wrapped. Albert Heijn describes its taai-taai 3-pack as three separate items; this doesn’t confirm that the biscuits are individually wrapped. | I want to give each colleague an unopened biscuit without putting out a shared platter; this is the main priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Quantity and leftovers | Compare the pack size with the number of people in your group. Jumbo says its Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes 500 g provides around 36 portions of 14 g; PLUS lists 250 g and 500 g bags for the taai-taai products described. | I don’t want to have lots left over after a small meeting, while a larger group needs enough to go round; around 33% of consumers give this consideration priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the allergen information on the packaging you actually buy, and keep the label handy when serving the biscuits. | When serving colleagues with different dietary requirements, I want to be able to answer their questions about ingredients; for around 25% of consumers, this is their main concern. |
Several items in one order doesn’t mean that each biscuit has its own sealed wrapper. Albert Heijn describes its taai-taai 3-pack as three separate items.
Check the packaging or product information for the specific item to see whether the biscuits themselves are individually wrapped.
