Choose kano biscuits for a work meeting based on the number of attendees and how you want to serve them. PLUS lists five biscuits in a pack of Aviateur Kano's, while Albert Heijn lists six portions in a pack of AH Roomboter kano's. However, the number of biscuits or portions does not mean that each biscuit is individually wrapped. Check the current label on the variant you choose for ingredients and allergens.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Organisers who want one biscuit per attendee
For a small work meeting, the stated number of biscuits or portions can help you work out how much to buy. Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH Roomboter kano's; Jumbo lists five for its Roomboter kano's. Check separately whether the biscuits are individually wrapped if attendees need to be able to help themselves.
Organisers catering for people with allergies
If you need to account for specific allergens, choose based on the label of the variant you’ll actually be serving. Ingredients and any warnings about possible cross-contamination may vary from product to product.
Organisers looking to match the pack size to their needs
For a small group, it’s not just the weight of the pack that matters, but how many biscuits or portions it contains. This helps you check whether there’s one for everyone and whether any biscuits will be left over.
What should you look for when choosing?
Work out how many biscuits you need, then check whether the packaging suits the way you want to serve them. If allergies are a concern for any attendees, make sure you check the current label before choosing.

Common mistakes when choosing
-
Assuming a multipack contains individually wrapped biscuits
A stated number of biscuits or portions doesn’t confirm that each kano biscuit has its own wrapper. This matters if attendees need to be able to pick up a wrapped biscuit themselves.
Before buying, check whether the packaging mentions individual wrappers, or ask the retailer.
If the pack is open, you may need a platter, napkins or extra time to serve the biscuits.
-
Looking only at the pack weight
A heavier pack doesn’t necessarily contain the right number of biscuits for your meeting. The packs mentioned also differ in the stated number of biscuits or portions.
First match the number of biscuits to the number of attendees, then check how they’re served and read the label.
-
Relying on the label from a pack you bought before
Ingredients and allergen information can change and may differ between variants. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the importance of allergen information in preventing allergic reactions.
Check the current label on the exact product you plan to serve, including any warnings about possible cross-contamination.
-
Assuming your chosen variant is available
Albert Heijn lists AH BASIC Kano's as discontinued. So a variant you looked at previously may not be an option for your planned meeting.
Check that your chosen variant is available at your preferred shop shortly before buying.
