If you’re sharing a biscuit tin, a 275 g pack or Aviateur’s pack of 7 biscuits/325 g is a practical choice when several people at home eat the same kano biscuits. If you’d rather share out smaller portions for the mid-morning break, consider Jumbo Mini Kano’s, 220 g, or Aviateur’s 230 g pack, described as ‘per wrapper’. Pack size alone doesn’t tell you anything about nutritional value: check the current packaging for serving sizes, allergens and nutritional information.
If several people at home help themselves to a kano biscuit at different times, the pack weight and number of biscuits matter more than the pack dimensions alone. Jumbo lists, among other options, a 220 g pack of mini kano biscuits and a 275 g standard version. Jumbo also lists Aviateur Filled Kano Biscuits, 7 biscuits/325 g. Choose the pack that suits how much you actually get through at home.
A mini version or a product described as ‘per wrapper’ could be useful if you want to share the biscuits between people at home or take one along for the mid-morning break. Check what the current Aviateur pack looks like; the description alone doesn’t confirm how each biscuit is wrapped. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion eaten.
If you have an allergy or need to avoid certain ingredients, the product name alone isn’t enough to make a choice. Read the current label when you buy. Albert Heijn warns that online information about ingredients, nutritional values and allergens may change.
First decide whether you want the kano biscuits for sharing, for easy portioning or as an occasional treat. If you’re considering a pack for a late-morning snack, these key questions can help you choose.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Shared supply | Compare the pack weight and, where stated, the number of biscuits. Jumbo recommends storing its 275 g Kano’s with Butter in a cool, dry, dark place. | If we share a biscuit tin at home, I want to know whether one pack will last for several snack breaks. Around 33% of consumers would put having a shared supply first. |
| Portions and sharing | Check the size, the serving size on the label and the actual packaging; if it says ‘per wrapper’, confirm how the biscuits are wrapped. | For a mid-morning break, I want to be able to take one biscuit and share out the rest easily. Around 25% of consumers would mainly prioritise portion size and ease of sharing. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current label for ingredients and allergens, even if you’ve bought the product before. | If someone at home has an allergy, I want to read the information on the packaging before choosing. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label would be their main concern. |
| Everyday snack or treat | Decide what kind of snack you’re looking for and compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion eaten. | If I’m looking for something for every morning, I want to decide first whether a sweet biscuit fits the bill. Around 17% of consumers would consider this distinction most important. |
A heavier pack can be handy for sharing, but it doesn’t tell you how many biscuits each person will eat or how big an individual portion is.
Compare the weight with the stated number of biscuits. According to Jumbo, Aviateur Filled Kano Biscuits contains 7 biscuits and weighs 325 g. For the 275 g packs and the 220 g minis mentioned here, check the serving size on the relevant label.
A different shape or packaging description may make the biscuits easier to share, but it doesn’t prove that the ingredients or nutritional value are different.
Use the size as a practical guide and compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion separately. For the Aviateur pack described as ‘per wrapper’, check how the product is actually packaged.
Albert Heijn says that online information about ingredients and allergies can change. So if allergens matter to your choice, a page you viewed earlier isn’t enough.
Read the current packaging each time you buy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be clearly listed on the labels of prepacked foods.
Choosing a larger or smaller pack doesn’t change the type of product you’re buying. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that many popular snacks are high in calories or contain a lot of sugar, salt or saturated fat.
First decide whether you’re choosing a treat or an everyday snack. For toddlers and young children, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends snacks from the Wheel of Five, such as fruit, vegetables or wholemeal bread.

A larger pack is practical if several people at home share the same supply; minis are worth considering if you mainly want to share out smaller biscuits. Jumbo lists standard butter kano biscuits in a 275 g pack and minis in a 220 g pack, while its Aviateur listing contains 7 biscuits/325 g. Also compare the number of biscuits and the serving size on the packaging.

No. You can’t draw a nutritional conclusion from the smaller size alone. For the products you’re considering, compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion on the current label.
Use the page to browse products, but check the current packaging too. Albert Heijn warns that online information about allergens and ingredients can change; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be clearly listed on the labels of prepacked foods.
