Budget-conscious shopper who wants one biscuit
You compare the pack size and number of biscuits to work out whether you’ll use the rest of the pack too.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Shopper who needs to check allergens
You need the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety. Product information from Albert Heijn and PLUS shows that this differs between Kano biscuit varieties.
Looking for a single portion
You want to be able to take one biscuit with you on its own. A stated number of biscuits or portions doesn’t tell you whether each one has its own wrapper.
What should you consider when choosing?
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Amount you’ll use | Check the net weight and the number of biscuits or portions, then consider what you’ll do with the rest of the pack. | If I want one biscuit, I want to know whether I’ll use the rest too. For around 50% of consumers, the amount they’ll use is the most important factor. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and precautionary statements on the exact pack. | If I have an allergen restriction, I want to assess the variety before eating it; for around 30% of consumers, this check comes first. |
| Individual portion | Check whether you can buy one biscuit loose or whether each biscuit has its own wrapper. | When I’m out and about, I want to take one biscuit on its own without opening the whole pack; for around 20% of consumers, this is their main need. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming several portions are individually wrapped
A pack with five biscuits or six portions doesn’t have to contain biscuits that are individually wrapped. That matters if you only want to take one with you.
Check the number of biscuits and look at the packaging to see whether each one is wrapped individually.
-
Using allergen information for a different variety
The information for AH butter Kano biscuits, PLUS butter Kano biscuits and Aviateur Kano biscuits isn’t interchangeable.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, read the label on the exact pack you’re buying.

Frequently asked questions
Is a pack of Kano biscuits the same as a single snack?
No. A pack with several biscuits doesn’t confirm that you can buy one loose or take one with you in its own wrapper. Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH butter Kano biscuits, while PLUS lists five biscuits for Aviateur Kano biscuits. If you need individual wrappers, check the packaging.
How should I store Kano biscuits after opening the pack?
Follow the storage instructions on your pack. For AH butter Kano biscuits, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a sealed tin after opening; PLUS says to store PLUS butter Kano biscuits in a cool, dry place.
Can I rely on information for a different Kano biscuit variety if I have an allergy?
No. Check the ingredients, allergen information and any precautionary statements for the exact variety you’re buying. Product information differs between the varieties mentioned, and the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses the importance of allergen information on the label.
