If you want to hand out one biscuit per guest
If you want to keep the remaining kano biscuits sealed while handing them out, look for an explicit mention of individual wrappers. PLUS sells Aviateur Kano biscuits as individually wrapped.
Who is the packaging important for?
If you’re planning how much you’ll need for your viewing party
A stated number of biscuits or portions helps you work out how many packs to buy for your group. PLUS lists five biscuits in its individually wrapped Aviateur Kano biscuits; Jumbo lists five portions in its butter kano biscuits.
If you need to take allergens into account
If a guest has an allergy, check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the exact variety you’re buying before serving. Don’t rely on the product name or a previous purchase.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether each guest needs their own wrapper. Then compare the number of biscuits or portions and check the labels of the varieties you’re considering.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual wrappers | Look for an explicit mention such as ‘individually wrapped’ and check the current packaging. | I want to hand out one kano biscuit per guest and keep the rest sealed; individual portions are the top priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Quantity for the group | Check the number of biscuits or portions; a portion doesn’t necessarily mean one individually wrapped biscuit. | Once I know how many people are coming, I want to work out in advance how many biscuits I’ll need. This is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the pack you’re buying. | When I’m serving someone with an allergy, I want to know what the variety contains first; checking this is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming five portions means five individual wrappers
Jumbo lists five portions in its butter kano biscuits, but that doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit has its own wrapper.
If you need individually wrapped biscuits, look for an explicit mention such as ‘individually wrapped’, or check the inner packaging before buying.
-
Guessing the allergens from the product name
A name such as butter kano biscuit doesn’t tell you which ingredients or allergen warnings apply to the variety you’re buying.
Read the current label, including any ‘may contain’ warnings, before serving the kano biscuits to your guests.
Brands to compare
Aviateur
PLUS lists Aviateur individually wrapped Kano biscuits in a 230 g pack containing five biscuits.
- The ‘individually wrapped’ description makes this variety worth considering if you want to give each guest a biscuit in its own wrapper.
- Check the wrappers and allergen information on the pack you buy; an individual wrapper says nothing about the ingredients.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists its butter kano biscuits in a 275 g pack containing five portions.
- The stated number of portions helps you plan how much to buy for a group.
- Five portions doesn’t confirm that there are five individual wrappers. Check the inner packaging if you need them.
Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn lists products including AH BASIC Kano biscuits and butter kano biscuits.
- You can compare the listed varieties by packaging and nutritional information.
- Check whether the variety you choose is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn recommends reading the packaging before eating the product.

Frequently asked questions
Are kano biscuits in a multipack always individually wrapped?
No. Having several biscuits or portions doesn’t automatically mean each biscuit has its own wrapper. PLUS explicitly lists Aviateur Kano biscuits as individually wrapped; for another variety, check the current packaging if individual wrappers matter to you.
How should I store kano biscuits until the match?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you buy. Jumbo says to store its butter kano biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place; keep individual wrappers sealed until you hand them out.
Can I serve kano biscuits to a guest with an allergy?
That depends on the allergy and the ingredients in the variety you choose. Before serving, read the allergen information and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the current pack; don’t rely on the product name.
How do I compare the nutritional value of different kano biscuits?
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g so that different pack sizes don’t skew the comparison. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends using this basis when comparing products; check the current label for the values that matter to you.
