If you want a single kano biscuit for one occasion, first check whether you can actually buy an individual biscuit: the Albert Heijn and Jumbo packs described contain six and five portions respectively, and are not confirmed as individually wrapped biscuits. For a small Halloween gathering, use those portion counts to plan how much you need. Before serving, also check the allergen information on the pack you buy.
Who are these options for?
If you want just one kano biscuit
If you’re planning just one occasion, the number of biscuits in a pack matters when it comes to leftovers. Albert Heijn lists six portions for its butter kano biscuits; Jumbo lists five portions for Kano's met Roomboter.
If you’re putting together a small Halloween platter
You can use the portion counts from Albert Heijn and Jumbo to work out how many packs fit your serving plan. Remember to factor in what else you’ll be putting on the table.
If you’re checking allergens for guests
If someone has a relevant allergy, check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack before handing out the biscuits. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list several allergens in their product information.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a multipack contains individually wrapped biscuits
According to their product information, the Albert Heijn and Jumbo packs described contain six and five portions. This doesn’t confirm that the biscuits are individually wrapped or available to buy loose.
If you only want one biscuit, check how they’re packed before you buy and decide what you’ll do with the rest.
-
Assuming all kano biscuits contain the same allergens
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list different allergens and warnings about possible traces in their product information. So a general product name is no substitute for checking the label.
If someone has a relevant allergy, read the information on the pack you’re actually serving.
-
Assuming a product page means an item is in stock
The Joybuy page for G'woon Kano's stated that the product was no longer available.
Check current availability and product information before relying on an online listing for your Halloween plans.

Frequently asked questions
Can I serve kano biscuits to someone with a nut allergy?
Don’t do so without checking the exact pack. Jumbo’s product information lists almonds and nuts, among other things; Albert Heijn’s lists almond and includes warnings about other nuts. Check any warnings about traces before serving, too.
How many people will one pack serve?
Use the stated portions as a guide, not as a fixed number of guests: Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions and Jumbo lists five 55 g portions. The number of packs you need also depends on what else you’re serving.
How should I store an opened pack of kano biscuits?
Follow the storage advice on the pack you bought. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information advises storing the biscuits in a cool, dry place; Albert Heijn also recommends putting them in a sealed tin after opening.
Can I check allergen information before buying?
Yes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that consumers must have access to allergen information before buying so they can make an informed choice. When your order arrives, check that the information on the pack matches what you need to serve it safely.
