The kano biscuits listed here come in individual packs ranging from 270 g to 330 g. A larger pack won’t automatically be enough for every occasion you have planned.
Count how many people will be eating them and when you want to fill the tin. Then compare the net weight and, where stated, the number of portions.
Ingredients and warnings about possible traces vary by product. The name ‘kano biscuits’ doesn’t tell you whether a particular variety is suitable for someone with a food allergy.
Check the current packaging of the product you’ve bought before serving, and also consider the risk of cross-contact with the homemade Dutch spiced biscuits.
If the tin doesn’t close properly, the quality of the biscuits can deteriorate once the pack is open. Dutch spiced biscuits also need to be stored somewhere dry and in a well-sealed container.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack. Albert Heijn recommends keeping its butter kano biscuits in a sealed tin after opening; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing Dutch spiced biscuits somewhere cool, dry and dark, in a well-sealed container.

Follow the instructions on the kano biscuits’ own packaging and keep any opened biscuits in a well-sealed container.

Read the current ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variety you plan to serve.

Also check the packaging of the product you actually buy and serve. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked food; Albert Heijn and PLUS note that product information may change.
