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.
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.
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 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.
For a Halloween get-together, first check which allergens are relevant to your guests. Then work out how many portions you need and whether an opened pack will suit your plans.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and leftovers | Check the number of portions and the storage advice for after opening. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions; Jumbo lists five 55 g portions. | If I’m buying for one occasion, I don’t want to be left with an almost-full opened pack; around 42% of consumers would make reducing leftovers their priority. |
| Allergens | Read the allergen information and any warnings about traces on the pack you buy. | If a guest has a relevant allergy, I want to know what I can serve. For around 33% of consumers, checking this would be the most important consideration. |
| Quantity for a small group | Compare the stated portions with the number of people eating and the other snacks you’re serving. | For a small platter, I want to put out enough kano biscuits without having lots left over; around 25% of consumers would make the quantity for their group their priority. |
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
