Choose kano biscuits in a shared pack if stock is used up quickly and you can store any opened biscuits in an airtight container. If each serving needs its own sealed wrapper, choose a product only if this is confirmed for the inner packaging; another type of individually wrapped biscuit is an option if it doesn’t have to be a kano.
If customers or staff help themselves to a biscuit, you’ll want to know whether each portion has its own sealed wrapper. Confirm the inner packaging before ordering; the number of biscuits shown on the outer packaging doesn’t tell you this.
If an opened pack won’t be used up quickly, pack size, best-before date and the ability to store the remaining biscuits in an airtight container all matter. Voedingscentrum lists becoming soft, stale or dried out as possible signs of a loss of quality in biscuits.
When serving different visitors, you need to have the information on the packaging you receive to hand. PLUS lists wheat, egg, soya, milk and almonds among the ingredients and allergens in its butter kano biscuits; don’t assume the same applies to another variety.
First decide whether each serving needs its own sealed wrapper. If a shared pack will do, choose a pack size that matches how quickly you expect to use it, then check the label for the variety you’ve chosen.
Suitable when: the pack will be used up quickly and you can store the remaining biscuits in an airtight container.
Consideration: a tray, pack weight or biscuit count doesn’t confirm that each kano is individually wrapped.
Suitable when: every customer or member of staff needs to be able to take their own sealed portion.
Consideration: Jumbo Zakelijk lists small biscuits that are individually wrapped, but this doesn’t confirm that they’re kano biscuits.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed servings | Ask whether each biscuit has its own wrapper and check the current inner-packaging specification. | If every visitor needs to be able to take a sealed portion, I don’t want to rely on the number of biscuits in a pack alone. Sealed servings are the top priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Freshness after opening | Compare the pack weight with expected usage and follow the storage advice on the packaging. | If stock is used up slowly, I want to prevent the remaining biscuits from becoming soft or stale. Freshness after opening is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Recipe and allergens | Check the ingredients and allergen information on the label of the variety received with every delivery. | If different visitors choose from the stock, I need to be able to check the information for this exact product. Recipe and allergen information come first for around 25% of consumers. |
The wording ‘7 pieces’ for Aviateur or ‘per tray’ for PLUS describes the sales unit, not how each biscuit is wrapped inside.
Before ordering, ask for a specification or image of the inner packaging if each biscuit needs its own wrapper.
According to Voedingscentrum, signs of a loss of quality in biscuits can include becoming soft, stale or dried out. This is particularly relevant if an opened pack will be left for a long time.
Choose a pack size that matches expected usage and store opened biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
