If you want to have one kano biscuit late in the evening and keep the stated portion small, Albert Heijn lists a 45 g portion for AH Butter Kano biscuits, compared with 55 g for Jumbo Butter Kano biscuits. Both products are sold in packs containing multiple portions; a stated portion does not mean that the biscuit is available loose or individually wrapped. Check the allergens for the exact variant too.
If you want to have one kano biscuit as an evening snack, a stated portion size can help you work out how much to have at a time. Albert Heijn lists a 45 g portion for AH Butter Kano biscuits; Jumbo lists 55 g for Jumbo Butter Kano biscuits. Both packs contain multiple portions.
The listings for AH, Jumbo and Aviateur differ. Check the ingredients and warnings about possible allergens for the exact variant; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre stresses the importance of label information for people with food allergies.
If sugar, saturated fat or energy content matters to you, check whether the values are given per portion or per 100 g. Jumbo lists values per 55 g portion for its butter kano biscuits; don’t compare these directly with values per 100 g for another variant.
Start with the portion size and the pack contents. Then decide which other factor matters most to you.

|---|---|---|

For around 40% of consumers, having a clearly defined portion would be the main priority. |

For around 20% of consumers, this would be the main consideration. |
| Availability | Check whether the variant you’ve chosen is available online or in store at the time. | If I want to pick up the biscuit from my usual shop, the variant I’m after needs to be available there too. Around 10% of consumers would consider availability first. |
