Shoppers avoiding a specific allergen

Compare the full ingredients list and any warnings with the ingredients you need to avoid. The kano biscuits listed by Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS include different combinations of ingredients such as wheat, milk, soya, egg and almond.

Families who want individual portions to take with them

An individual wrapper is only a useful selection criterion if the packaging or manufacturer confirms that each biscuit is wrapped separately. Don’t assume this from the name Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel alone.

What should you check before buying?

Start with the allergen you need to avoid and any related warnings. Only then consider individual wrapping and the practical pack size.

What to consider What to check before buying Most relevant to
Ingredients and allergens Read the full ingredients list and the allergens listed on the current pack. If I need to avoid a particular allergen, I want to know whether it is present in this variety. This is the top priority for around 40% of consumers.
Individual wrappers Check that each biscuit has its own sealed wrapper; don’t assume this from the product name alone. When I’m out and about, I want to take individual portions with me without opening the rest of the pack. Around 30% of consumers give this portioning question top priority.
‘May contain’ warnings Read warnings about possible traces and assess them according to the guidance that applies to your allergy. If possible traces matter to me too, I want to know about the warnings before choosing. This is the main concern for around 20% of consumers.
Availability and pack size Compare the number of biscuits or the pack weight, and check the packaging of the variety you’re buying. If several varieties are suitable after checking the allergens, I’ll consider which pack size suits my needs. This is the first practical consideration for around 10% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘Per Wikkel’ means each biscuit is individually wrapped

    The name Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel doesn’t make it clear whether each biscuit is wrapped separately. That matters if you want to take individual, sealed portions with you.

    Check the packaging or ask Aviateur to confirm before relying on individual wrappers.

  • Checking for one allergen and overlooking the rest

    The listed varieties from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS contain several allergens. A product may meet one of your requirements but not another.

    Read the full ingredients list, the allergen information and any warnings on the pack.

  • Assuming there’s no risk because you can’t see an online warning

    A product page doesn’t always include all the information you need to make your decision. Jumbo also points out that cross-contamination cannot be ruled out for certain products.

    Check the physical label and, if you’re unsure about an allergen that matters to you, ask the manufacturer or retailer for information.

Frequently asked questions

Are individually wrapped kano biscuits automatically suitable if you have a food allergy?

No. An individual wrapper tells you nothing about the ingredients or possible traces in the biscuit. Check the allergens and warnings on the current packaging; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains which allergens must be listed on the label.

Which allergens are listed for these kano biscuits?

The product listings mentioned from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS show different combinations of ingredients for each variety, including wheat, soya, milk, egg and almond. Check the specific variety you’re buying and read any ‘may contain’ warnings too.

Is the allergen information on a supermarket website enough?

Use a product page to narrow down your options, then read the label on the pack you receive before eating it. Albert Heijn says the correct allergy information is on the packaging.

How should I store an opened pack of kano biscuits?

Follow the storage advice on the packaging for the variety you’ve chosen. How you store the biscuits, or whether they have individual wrappers, doesn’t change the allergens listed.
