Who is this guide for?

Shoppers with a full basket

You buy bread regularly and want to weigh up the loaf size against the terms for delivery or collection.

Families who pay attention to bread type and fibre

You’re looking for tiger bread for everyday use and want to choose between white, brown and wholemeal based on the nutritional information for the exact variety.

Shoppers who need to check the label

You want to know what ingredients and allergens the bread contains before ordering, and what the label says about salt.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide which loaf size suits your order. Then compare the exact type of bread and check the label. When you reach the checkout, make sure your chosen delivery or collection option works for you.

What to consider What to check before buying Who is this important for?
Loaf size and order Compare the weight of whole and half loaves. Also check the delivery or collection terms for your grocery order. When I order bread for several days, I want a size that suits my household without losing sight of the rest of my order. This is a key consideration for around 36% of shoppers.
Bread type and fibre Check whether the exact variety is white, brown or wholemeal, and read the fibre content per 100 g. When buying tiger bread for everyday use, I want to choose between white, brown and wholemeal deliberately, rather than judging by the tiger crust. Bread type and fibre are the top priority for around 28% of shoppers.
Ingredients and labelling Read the latest ingredients and allergen information for your chosen variety; also check the salt content and whether baker’s salt or iodised salt is listed. If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I need clear labelling on the exact loaf I’ve chosen. An estimated 36% of shoppers prioritise this check.

Common mistakes

  • Comparing a half loaf with a whole loaf without checking the weight

    A smaller loaf may suit your household, but it also means you get less bread per order.

    Check the weight of both varieties and choose the size you’ll actually use.

  • Assuming tiger bread is always white bread

    Tiger bread is also sold as brown and wholemeal. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, AH Tijger volkoren heel contains 6,7 g of fibre per 100 g, while AH Tijger wit half lists 1,6 g per 100 g.

    Search for the bread type you want and check the nutritional information for that specific variety.

  • Treating a label you checked earlier as definitive

    Ingredients and allergen information can change. This is especially important if you need to avoid certain ingredients.

    Check the latest information when you order and read the packaging of the bread you receive.

  • Assuming a store’s range is available for delivery

    Dirk currently says it doesn’t deliver groceries. So bread you see at Dirk isn’t automatically available to order for home delivery.

    Check with each supermarket whether delivery or collection is available for your location and preferred time.

    If you buy the bread in person, you’ll also need to make time for a trip to the shop.

Frequently asked questions

Should I check the size when buying tiger bread online?

Yes, because a whole loaf and a half loaf contain different amounts of bread. Compare the weight of the exact varieties and choose the size that suits how much your household uses.

Does white tiger bread contain as much fibre as wholemeal tiger bread?

Not in the Albert Heijn varieties mentioned: AH Tijger wit half lists 1,6 g of fibre per 100 g, while AH Tijger volkoren heel lists 6,7 g per 100 g. For another loaf, check the nutritional information per 100 g again; the tiger crust doesn’t tell you what type of bread is underneath.

Does tiger bread always contain iodised salt?

No, you can’t tell from the name tiger bread. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says that bakers in the Netherlands aren’t required to use baker’s salt. Check the ingredients for the exact variety to see whether it contains baker’s salt or iodised salt.

Can I get tiger bread from Dirk delivered to my home?

Dirk currently says it doesn’t deliver groceries. So treat its bread as an option for a trip to the shop, and check the home delivery options at a supermarket that serves your location.
