Which size is right for you?

If you’re treating the people helping with the move

If you want to set out one kano biscuit per person for a specific group, a pack that clearly states the number of biscuits makes it easier to portion them out.

If you’re putting out a sharing platter

For an informal break where guests can help themselves, you could choose a mini version instead of handing out individual biscuits in advance.

If you want to check the label

If you’re buying for guests with different dietary requirements, check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the latest packaging. Albert Heijn notes that product information can change.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to hand out the kano biscuits individually or put them on the table as a snack. The weight of a pack won’t tell you how many biscuits it contains.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Number of biscuits and quantity Check the number of biscuits as well as the net contents. Jumbo lists Aviateur Filled Kano Biscuits as 7 biscuits and 325 g. I want to give each person helping with the move one biscuit, without having to guess based on the pack weight. For around 40% of consumers, being able to portion them out in advance comes first.
How you’ll serve them Consider whether a standard biscuit or mini version suits the way you want to serve them. Also check the number of biscuits if it matters for your plans. I want to put out a platter for guests to help themselves to during a short break. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this kind of serving size.
Label information Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging. Compare the nutritional values per 100 g and, if shown, per serving. I’m buying for people with different dietary requirements and want to know what I’m serving. Checking the label and nutritional information is the biggest priority for around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large pack contains a set number of portions

    A net weight of 275 g or 220 g won’t tell you how many individual kano biscuits you can hand out. This makes it tricky to plan for a specific group.

    If you want to give one to each person helping, look for a stated number of biscuits or count them before serving.

  • Relying only on online ingredient information

    Albert Heijn warns that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change. The latest packaging is particularly important if you need to take allergens into account.

    Before serving, check the ingredients list, allergen information, any warnings and the best-before date on the packaging.

  • Assuming mini biscuits have different nutritional values

    A smaller biscuit doesn’t automatically contain less sugar, fat or energy per 100 g.

    Compare the nutritional tables for the specific products per 100 g, and consider the portion you actually want to serve.

Frequently asked questions

How many kano biscuits do I need for a moving-in get-together?

It depends on how many guests you’re expecting and whether you want to give everyone one biscuit or put out a platter for people to snack on. If you’re handing them out individually, a stated number of biscuits is more useful than the pack weight alone. For example, Jumbo lists Aviateur Filled Kano Biscuits as a pack of 7.

How can I check which allergens kano biscuits contain?

Check the allergen information on the latest packaging before serving the biscuits. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that the allergens required by law must be clearly stated in the ingredients list. Also check the label for any warnings.

Can I compare the nutritional values of different kano biscuits?

Yes. Use the nutritional tables on the packaging of the products you’re considering. Compare the same values per 100 g, and also look at the portion you want to serve. Average nutritional values for filled biscuits won’t be exact for every kano biscuit.

How should I store kano biscuits around moving day?

Follow the storage advice and best-before date on the packaging of your product. For Jumbo Butter Kano Biscuits, Jumbo recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place.
