Who is this choice relevant to?

Organisers who want to serve guests quickly

You want to serve Kano biscuits with tea or coffee and would rather work out how many packs you need from the stated number of portions than rely on a vague description such as ‘sharing bag’.

Organisers responsible for providing allergen information

You’re catering for a mixed group and want to be able to share the ingredients, allergen details and any ‘may contain’ warnings for the biscuits actually delivered.

Buyers comparing pack sizes and availability

You’re matching the number of packs to your group and checking that your chosen variety will be available for your planned order or collection.

What should you consider when buying?

First, decide how many portions you want to serve. Then compare the number of portions per pack and check the allergen information for the variety you receive before serving.

What to consider What to check when buying Who should pay particular attention?
Portions and serving Check the number of portions and the portion weight on your chosen pack. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions in its 270 g pack; Jumbo lists five 55 g portions in its 275 g pack. When buying for a coffee break, I want to know in advance how many portions I can serve, without having to divide them up during the break. Around 40% of consumers put this kind of portion planning first.
Allergen information Read the label on the variety you receive, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. Keep the information to hand if you serve the biscuits without their packaging. When serving a mixed group, I want to be able to answer questions about allergens using the information for the biscuits actually on the table. This is the main concern for around 30% of consumers.
Pack size and availability Choose a pack weight that suits the number of portions you need and check availability for your planned order or collection. I don’t want to plan around a pack that I can’t get in time for the conference, even if its size is right. That’s why around 30% of consumers prioritise pack size and availability.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a standard pack is a large sharing bag

    The pack weight alone doesn’t tell you how many guests it will serve. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list different numbers of portions per pack.

    Work out how many portions you want to serve, divide that number by the current number of portions per pack, then round up to the next whole pack.

  • Assuming allergen information is the same across varieties

    Kano biscuits from different suppliers don’t necessarily have the same ingredients or ‘may contain’ warnings. Product information can also change.

    Check the label on every product you receive just before serving, and keep the relevant allergen information to hand if you serve the biscuits loose.

  • Taking a product page as confirmation that an item can be ordered

    A variety shown online might not be available for your planned order or collection. For example, Jumbo says its 220 g Roomboter Mini Kano's are no longer available.

    Check availability before finalising your quantities. If you choose a different variety, check its label again too.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a large sharing bag of Kano biscuits for conference catering?

No, you can plan to serve them using several standard packs. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list the number of portions per pack; use that figure to work out how many packs you’ll need for the portions you want to serve.

Can I serve Kano biscuits to all my guests without checking the allergens?

No, first check the exact packaging of the biscuits you’re serving. The varieties described list different allergens and sometimes include ‘may contain’ warnings, so don’t rely on information for another variety.

What allergen information do I need if I serve the Kano biscuits loose?

Make sure guests can get clear allergen information about the biscuits on offer. According to Ondernemersplein, this information requirement also applies to unpackaged food. Keep the current packaging or relevant product information available where you’re serving them.

How should I store the Kano biscuits until the conference break?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you receive. Jumbo, PLUS and Aviateur say to store the varieties described in a cool, dry place. Check the instructions again if you choose a different variety.
