Who are these options for?

Hosts planning portions

You want to know whether a pack is right for the number of people at the table. A stated number of portions is more useful for this than the net weight alone: Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH Roomboter Kano's, and Jumbo lists five for Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter.

Hosts checking allergens

You’re serving Kano biscuits to guests with different allergies. Ask what they need to avoid, then check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging for the exact variant you’re buying.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how many portions you want to serve. Then compare pack sizes and, before serving, check whether the Kano biscuits you’ve chosen are suitable for any allergies your guests may have.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Number of portions Check the stated number of portions or count the biscuits shown on the pack. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions for AH Roomboter Kano's; Jumbo lists five 55 g portions for Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter. If I want to set out a portion for everyone, I need to know how many guests a pack will serve before I buy it. About 33% of consumers prioritise portions they can plan for.
Pack size Compare the net weight, but don’t use it as a substitute for the number of biscuits. ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket Kano's at 330 g; PLUS lists PLUS Roomboter kano's at 275 g. If I want a well-stocked biscuit tin, I look first at the quantity in the pack, even if I still need to check how many biscuits it contains. Pack size matters most to about 27% of consumers.
Allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging for the variant you’ve chosen, including any warnings about traces. The lists for the AH, Jumbo and PLUS variants described here differ. If a guest needs to avoid something, I want to read the label on the pack I’ve bought before serving it. About 27% of consumers give this check top priority.
Flavour and storage Check the filling and ingredients listed for the variant, and follow the storage advice on the pack. Albert Heijn recommends storing AH Roomboter Kano's in a sealed tin after opening. If the quantity and allergen information suit my guests, I’ll also consider the flavour I prefer and how to store the biscuits after opening. This is the top priority for about 13% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Relying on net weight when planning portions

    Weight and number of portions answer different questions. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions in a 270 g pack, while Jumbo lists five 55 g portions in a 275 g pack.

    Use the stated number of portions to plan. If the variant you choose doesn’t list this, check the number of biscuits on the pack.

  • Assuming all Kano biscuits contain the same allergens

    Ingredients and warnings vary between products. So the allergen list for one brand doesn’t tell you enough about the pack you’re serving to your guests.

    Ask guests about any relevant allergies, then read the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve bought.
