Common mistakes
-
Assuming a listed portion means an individually wrapped biscuit
Albert Heijn lists six portions per pack and Jumbo five. The number of portions does not tell you whether each kano biscuit is individually wrapped.
Check the packaging format if you need an individually wrapped kano biscuit; otherwise, choose a pack whose contents you want to store.
-
Relying on the product name to check allergens
The kano biscuits mentioned from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS each have their own ingredients list and allergen warnings. This information can vary from product to product.
Before eating, read the label on the pack you are actually using, including any statements about the possible presence of allergens.
