For a coffee break with five or six people, the stated servings are a useful guide: Albert Heijn lists six servings in a 270 g pack of AH Roomboter kano's, while Jumbo lists five servings in a 275 g pack of Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter. If you’re sharing with more people, work out how many servings you’ll need and buy more than one pack if necessary. Before serving, check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging.
Who is this choice relevant to?
People organising a small coffee break
You’re making coffee for around five or six people and want to know in advance whether one pack will be enough. Albert Heijn lists six servings per pack of AH Roomboter kano's; Jumbo lists five servings per pack of Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter.
People sharing food with others
If someone at the table needs to avoid certain ingredients, the current allergen information matters more than the name or size of the pack. Check the packaging before serving the canoe biscuits.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming every pack is a large sharing pack
A 275 g pack doesn’t automatically provide more stated servings than a lighter pack: Albert Heijn lists six servings for 270 g, while Jumbo lists five for 275 g.
Count the people who’ll be there and use the number of servings or biscuits on the packaging to work out whether you need more than one pack.
-
Relying on an ingredients list you read earlier
Ingredients and allergen information can change. This is especially important if you’re sharing the canoe biscuits with someone who needs to avoid certain ingredients.
Check the label on the pack you’re about to serve every time you buy it, including any ‘may contain’ warnings.
