Who is this packaging for?

Taking snacks to the gym

You want to take one biscuit with you without opening the rest of the pack. A variety with individually wrapped biscuits makes it easier to keep the others separate.

Sharing between lunchboxes and family members

You’re dividing a pack between different days, people or lunchboxes, and want to know in advance how many portions it contains.

Label-conscious snack shoppers

You compare the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per portion before choosing a variety.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you mainly want to take one biscuit with you or divide up a pack. Then compare the portions and read the label for the variety you’ve chosen.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Taking biscuits individually Check whether the packaging explicitly says the biscuits are individually wrapped. If I put one Kano biscuit in my gym bag, I want to be able to keep the rest of the pack closed. Around 42% of consumers say taking biscuits individually is their top priority.
Dividing up portions Compare the number of portions and the weight of each one: Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions, while Jumbo lists five 55 g portions. If I’m packing several lunchboxes or planning snacks for different occasions, I want to know how I can divide up the pack. For around 33% of consumers, portioning is the priority.
Label and nutritional information Check the current packaging for ingredients, allergens and sugars per 100 g and per portion. If I need to watch out for certain ingredients or allergens, I want to read the information for this exact variety before choosing. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label matters most.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing pack weight with the number of biscuits

    A pack weighing 325 g from Sondey or 330 g from Heerlijck Banket doesn’t tell you how many biscuits you can take individually.

    Check the packaging for the number of biscuits, portion size and whether they’re individually wrapped.

  • Assuming individual wrapping means a different nutritional value

    The wrapper tells you about the packaging, not how much sugar the biscuit contains or which allergens it includes.

    Consider convenience and nutritional information separately. For Aviateur Kano biscuits, also check the allergen information for the variety in question.

  • Comparing sugar content per 100 g only

    Albert Heijn lists 45 g portions and Jumbo lists 55 g portions. The amount per portion is therefore another factor to consider when comparing them.

    Check the nutritional values both per 100 g and per portion, and decide how many biscuits you want to take with you.

  • Relying solely on a product page for allergen information

    Product information can change. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products.

    If you have an allergy or intolerance, read the current packaging for the specific Kano biscuits before buying and eating them.

Frequently asked questions

Which Kano biscuits can I take individually in my gym bag?

A variety explicitly labelled as individually wrapped is suitable for this. PLUS lists five Aviateur Kano biscuits as ‘Individually Wrapped’; also check that the packaging is intact and follow the storage advice on the label.

Does convenient packaging tell me anything about nutritional value?

No, the pack format doesn’t tell you how much sugar or other nutrients a Kano biscuit contains. Compare the nutritional information for your chosen variety per 100 g and per portion; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre also recommends checking the ingredients in snacks.

Which allergens should I check in Kano biscuits?

It depends on the variety. The product information for the Kano biscuits mentioned here lists wheat, milk, soya, egg and almonds, among other ingredients, and sometimes warns that an allergen may be present. If you have an allergy or intolerance, always read the current label on the product you’re buying.

How should I store an opened pack of Kano biscuits?

Follow the storage advice on the specific pack. Albert Heijn advises keeping its Butter Kano biscuits in a cool, dry place and storing them in a sealed tin after opening. Don’t assume the same advice applies to another variety without checking.
