Who is this relevant to?

If you only want one biscuit with your coffee and don’t want to open a pack

You want one kano biscuit for a single occasion, perhaps to take with you. Check whether the pack says the biscuits are individually wrapped; a stated number of portions doesn’t tell you that.

If you want to choose a portion at home

You don’t mind buying a multipack, but the size of each biscuit matters. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions for AH Butter Kano Biscuits; Jumbo lists five 55 g portions for Jumbo Butter Kano Biscuits.

If you compare ingredients and nutrition information

If an allergen is relevant to you, read the declaration on the exact pack you’re buying. To compare the nutritional values of different kano biscuits, you can also compare the figures per 100 g.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you really need one unopened biscuit. If a multipack will do, the portion size and information on the label will matter more when you make your choice.

What to consider What to check when buying Who this matters to
Individual wrapping Check whether the pack mentions individual wrappers and how many biscuits it contains. ‘Per Wrapper’ in a product title isn’t enough to confirm this. If I only want to take one kano biscuit with me, I want to be able to leave the rest of the pack sealed. Around 42% of consumers put individual wrapping first.
Portion size and type of biscuit Compare the stated portion size and read the product description, for example to check whether it contains butter and almond paste filling. I’m happy with a multipack at home with my coffee, as long as the portion size and type of biscuit suit my preferences. This is the top priority for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutrition information Read the current allergen declaration and compare nutritional values per 100 g; then consider the portion you eat. If I need to watch what’s in my food, I want to be able to check the label on the variety I choose. Ingredients, allergens and nutritional values come first for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a portion means an individually wrapped biscuit

    Albert Heijn lists six portions in one pack, while Jumbo lists five. This tells you how many portions the pack contains, not whether each kano biscuit has its own wrapper.

    If you need one unopened biscuit, check the packaging details and the number of wrappers on the pack.

  • Comparing nutrition figures per biscuit directly

    Albert Heijn lists a 45 g portion, while Jumbo’s portion is 55 g. This means the figures per portion are based on different amounts.

    Voedingscentrum recommends comparing the nutritional values per 100 g first, then looking at the portion you actually eat.

  • Relying on the allergens listed on a pack you bought before

    Ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties, and recipes may change. The product information from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS lists different allergens.

    Before eating, read the ingredients and allergen declaration on the pack you’ve bought.

  • Assuming a named supermarket product is available everywhere

    Lidl lists Sondey Kano Biscuits as an in-store purchase. That doesn’t tell you what will be available in your local store when you visit.

    Check availability with your chosen shop and look at the pack in store if individual wrappers are important to you.

Brands to consider

Aviateur

PLUS lists Aviateur Kano Biscuits Per Wrapper in a 230 g pack.

  • The ‘Per Wrapper’ label makes this product worth looking at if you’re seeking individually wrapped biscuits.
  • Check how many wrappers are in the pack and whether each kano biscuit is individually wrapped; the product title doesn’t confirm this.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists AH Butter Kano Biscuits as a 270 g pack with six 45 g portions.

  • The stated portion size helps you judge whether it’s right for a coffee break.
  • Six portions per pack doesn’t confirm that the biscuits are individually wrapped.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists Jumbo Butter Kano Biscuits as a 275 g pack with five 55 g portions.

  • Jumbo provides nutritional values per 100 g and per portion, so you can compare both.
  • The five stated portions don’t confirm that the biscuits have individual wrappers.

Sondey

Lidl lists Sondey Kano Biscuits as butter biscuits with almond paste in a 325 g pack, available in store only.

  • You can check the packaging in store if this product is available there.
  • Before choosing, check the pack for portion sizes, ingredients, allergens and any individual wrappers.

Frequently asked questions

Does ‘Per Wrapper’ mean that every Aviateur kano biscuit is individually wrapped?

No, you can’t tell from that label alone. Check the Aviateur Kano Biscuits Per Wrapper pack to see how many wrappers it contains and whether each biscuit is individually wrapped.

Which allergens should I check in kano biscuits?

Read the allergen declaration on the specific pack before eating the biscuit. PLUS, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list allergens including wheat, soya and milk; the Albert Heijn and Jumbo varieties also list egg and almond. Don’t rely on information for another variety or a pack you bought previously.

How can I compare the nutritional values of kano biscuits with different portion sizes?

First compare the nutritional values per 100 g, as Voedingscentrum recommends, then consider how much you eat. Albert Heijn lists a 45 g portion for AH Butter Kano Biscuits, while Jumbo lists a 55 g portion for Jumbo Butter Kano Biscuits.

How should I store kano biscuits once the pack is open?

Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve bought. For AH Butter Kano Biscuits, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a cool, dry place and keeping them in a sealed tin after opening. For Jumbo Butter Kano Biscuits, Jumbo recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place.
