Choose kano biscuits for your family cupboard based on how many your household gets through, not just the size of the pack. Compare the number of biscuits with the net weight, and check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions for the variant you choose.
If you eat kano biscuits regularly, it helps to choose a net weight that matches what your household actually gets through. A larger pack offers little practical benefit if the biscuits are left uneaten for a long time.
For a family get-together, the pack's stated number of biscuits or portions matters just as much as its weight. This helps you work out whether there will be enough without buying more than you need.
If you need to account for an allergy, intolerance or ingredient preference, check the information for the exact variant you choose. Ingredients and warnings can vary from one product to another.
First, check that the ingredients are suitable for your household. Then work out how many biscuits you need and whether you can store an opened pack properly.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size for regular use | Compare the net weight of similar packs with the amount your household usually gets through. | If the biscuit tin is often empty, I want to choose a pack that suits how much we eat. For around 36% of consumers, having the right amount in stock is the priority. |
| Number of biscuits to share | Check the stated number of biscuits or portions alongside the pack weight. | For a family get-together, I want to know whether everyone can have a biscuit without leaving too many over. This is the main consideration for around 29% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and any warnings on the current packaging of the variant you choose. | If someone at home needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to check the label before choosing the pack. Around 21% of consumers make this their priority. |
| Storage after opening | Check the storage instructions and whether the pack or biscuit tin seals properly. | If we only eat kano biscuits occasionally, I want to avoid leaving an opened pack for too long. This matters most to around 14% of consumers. |
A 325 g pack contains more than a 230 g pack, but if you don't eat many, it could stay open for longer.
Choose an amount your household is likely to get through, and consider the number of biscuits too.
