Choose kano biscuits for exam week based on your planned breaks and how many people will be eating them: Albert Heijn lists six portions in a 270 g pack, and Jumbo five in a 275 g pack. The ALDI and Lidl packs we looked at contain more to share, at 330 g and 325 g respectively. Set aside a portion for your study break rather than eating straight from the pack, as the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises. If you have dietary requirements or allergies, check the pack label.
Want to take something sweet with you without constantly eating from the pack while you study? A stated number of portions makes it easier to set some aside in advance. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against snacking continuously during exam periods.
If several people are eating from one pack, the net weight and stated number of portions are more useful for comparison than the word ‘multipack’ alone.
If ingredients, allergens or nutritional values influence your choice, compare the information on the pack. The Albert Heijn and Jumbo varieties we looked at list several allergens.
First decide whether you’re buying kano biscuits for individual study breaks, to share or to last several days. Then check that the ingredients and nutritional information on your chosen pack suit your needs.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portions for study breaks | Check the stated number of portions. Albert Heijn lists six portions in a 270 g pack; Jumbo lists five in a 275 g pack. | During long study sessions, I want to set aside a snack for my break in advance so I don’t keep eating from the pack; around 33% of shoppers prioritise portion planning. |
| Sharing | Compare the net weight with the number of people eating; ALDI lists 330 g and Lidl 325 g. | If my housemates or fellow students are joining in, I want to choose a pack that suits our planned snack breaks; sharing is the top priority for around 25% of shoppers. |
| Label | Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values on the pack. Compare sugars and saturated fat per 100 g and per planned portion. | If I have a relevant allergy or am keeping an eye on nutritional values, I want to know what my chosen kano biscuits contain before buying; around 25% of shoppers prioritise checking the label. |
| Enough for several days | Check the net weight and think about how many planned breaks the pack needs to cover. Also check the storage advice after opening. | When I’m buying ahead for several breaks, I want to know how much is in the pack and how to store what’s left; the total amount is the main consideration for around 17% of shoppers. |
A stated number of portions or biscuits doesn’t tell you whether each kano biscuit has its own wrapper. That matters if you want to pop one into a lunchbox without extra packaging.
If individual wrappers are important to you, check the pack description or product photo for them.
A larger pack is handy for sharing, but may not suit one person with only a few planned breaks. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against snacking continuously while studying.
Choose the amount based on how many people will be eating, and set a portion aside before you start studying.
The Albert Heijn and Jumbo kano biscuits we looked at list ingredients including wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk, soya, egg and almond. Ingredients and warnings can vary between varieties.
If you have a relevant allergy, read the full label on the pack. To compare nutritional values, check the figures per 100 g and per portion too.

It also advises against snacking continuously during exam periods.
