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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Serving individually | Check whether the packaging specifically says that each kano biscuit is individually wrapped. | If attendees need to be able to pick up a biscuit without using a shared platter, I want to know how each one is wrapped. Around 40% of consumers prioritise this way of serving. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information, and check for any warnings about possible cross-contamination on the current label. | If anyone in the team has a known allergy, I want to be able to assess whether the pack I’ve chosen is suitable for the group. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this check. |
| Getting the right amount | Compare the number of biscuits or portions per pack with the number of attendees. | For a small meeting, I want to bring enough biscuits without having lots left over. This is the main consideration for around 30% of consumers. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
AH Roomboter kano's are worth considering if the six stated portions suit the number of attendees.
Jumbo Roomboter kano's are worth considering if five stated portions suit a small meeting.
PLUS lists Aviateur Kano's in a pack of five, which may suit a group of that size.
PLUS Roomboter kano's come in a 275 g pack, which you can compare with the number of biscuits you need.
ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket Kano's in a 330 g pack.
Yes, check the label on the pack you’re actually going to serve. Ingredients and allergen information can change when a product is updated.
The ingredients and allergens listed vary by variant. The products discussed may contain wheat or other gluten-containing cereals, soya, milk, almonds and, in some variants, egg. Also read any warnings about possible cross-contamination on the current label of the kano biscuits you choose.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you buy. Jumbo and PLUS advise storing the kano biscuits mentioned in a cool, dry place. Check the label for the best-before date and any instructions for storing an opened pack.
