Who should consider this choice?

Holidaymakers buying for a group

If you’re sharing them over coffee, at a picnic or during a game, you’ll want to know how many kano biscuits you can hand out. So compare the pack size with the stated number of biscuits or portions.

Shoppers who need to consider allergens

If you’re buying for other people, their allergies may affect your choice. Check the up-to-date ingredients and allergen information on every pack, even if you’ve bought the product before.

Travellers who want to keep an opened pack

If you won’t finish the pack in one go, being able to reseal and store it at your destination should be part of your decision. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place and in a well-sealed container.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, work out how many people will be sharing. Then consider which recipe suits your group, check allergens individually and plan how you’ll store any leftovers.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this most important for?
Amount per pack Compare the weight in grams with the number of biscuits or portions shown on the pack. If several people will be sharing, I want to know how many kano biscuits I can hand out. For around 40% of consumers, having enough in the pack matters most.
Recipe Check whether the pack mentions butter and almond paste, and compare the ingredients in the varieties you’re considering. If I’m looking for a particular kind of kano biscuit to enjoy with coffee, I want to be able to choose the recipe. Around 20% of consumers prioritise this choice.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings about possible traces. If I’m buying for someone with an allergy, I need to be able to check what’s in each pack. Around 30% of consumers put checking ingredients and allergens first.
Storage after opening Check the storage advice and make sure you can seal the pack properly once it’s open. If we’re sharing the kano biscuits over several occasions, I want to be able to store the rest at our holiday destination. For around 10% of consumers, ease of storage is their main concern.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a sharing pack is a large pack

    A name that suggests sharing doesn’t tell you how many biscuits are inside. The pack may therefore be smaller than you expect when buying for a group.

    Count how many people will be sharing, then check both the weight and the number of biscuits. For example, Albert Heijn lists six portions in its 270 g pack.

  • Relying on the product name to check allergens

    Words such as butter and almond paste don’t give you the full picture of the ingredients or any possible traces of allergens.

    Before sharing the kano biscuits with others, check the current ingredients list and allergen information on every pack.

  • Taking an opened pack with you without sealing it

    Heat and moisture can affect the quality of biscuits while you’re travelling.

    Follow the storage advice on the label. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place and in a well-sealed container.

Frequently asked questions

Is a pack of kano biscuits with ‘sharing’ in the name automatically big enough for a group?

No. The name doesn’t tell you how many biscuits you can hand out. Check the pack size and number of biscuits, then make sure they’re enough for everyone sharing.

How should I store an opened pack of kano biscuits on holiday?

Keep the pack well sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, as the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises for biscuits. Also follow any specific instructions on the packaging.

Can I choose one kind of kano biscuit for the whole group?

It depends on which ingredients and allergens matter to the people in your group. Albert Heijn and PLUS list ingredients including egg, milk, soya and almond in their butter kano biscuits. Always check the current packaging before sharing, including any warnings about possible traces.
