Who is this choice relevant for?

People buying supplies for a shared night shift

If several colleagues are eating from the same tin, it helps to compare the pack weight with the number of planned breaks.

People who read labels carefully

If someone needs to watch out for particular ingredients or allergens, the label on the pack you choose matters more than its size. Jumbo and PLUS list several allergens for their kano biscuits.

People buying a small supply

If you’re splitting a pack across several shifts, it’s worth choosing an amount you expect to finish and having a suitable place to store any biscuits once the pack is open. Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a sealed tin after opening.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Amount per pack Compare the pack weight with the number of people and breaks. ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket at 330 g, while Lidl lists Sondey at 325 g. For shared breaks, I want enough biscuits in one pack without having lots left over. Around 45% of consumers prioritise having enough supplies.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warning on the current pack; Jumbo and PLUS list several allergens that are present or may be present. If others are eating from the same tin, I want to be able to check what’s in the kano biscuits before bringing them in. Around 36% of consumers prioritise ingredients and allergens.
Storage after opening Check the storage instructions and have a resealable tin ready. Albert Heijn recommends storing the biscuits in a sealed tin after opening. If I’m eating from the same pack over several shifts, I want to be able to seal the rest between breaks. Around 19% of consumers prioritise how to store an opened pack.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘family pack’ means a standard pack size

    The description doesn’t tell you exactly how many biscuits you’ll get. Product pages from ALDI, Lidl, Jumbo, PLUS and Albert Heijn list different pack weights.

    Check the weight in grams on the pack and estimate how many colleagues and breaks it needs to cover.

  • Only checking the front of the pack for allergy information

    Jumbo and PLUS list allergens present in their kano biscuits, as well as warnings about other allergens that may be present. So the product name alone isn’t enough to help you choose if you have a food allergy.

    Every time you buy them, read the ingredients list and the ‘may contain’ warning on that specific pack before sharing the biscuits.

  • Opening a large pack without a way to store the rest

    If you’re using a pack over several shifts, some of it will be left open after the first break. Albert Heijn recommends storing its kano biscuits in a sealed tin after opening; Jumbo and PLUS advise keeping them in a cool, dry and dark place.

    Choose an amount you expect to finish and follow the storage instructions on the pack.
