Which pack size works best for you?

Families sharing a weekly supply

If several people will be eating kano biscuits throughout the week, the pack size matters. Think in advance about how many occasions you’ll serve them and how you’ll store the pack once it’s opened.

Shoppers planning portions

For lunchboxes or a limited number of snack breaks, check how many biscuits are in the pack and the stated portion size. A pack containing several biscuits doesn’t necessarily mean they’re individually wrapped.

Households that check labels carefully

If ingredients, allergens or nutritional values are important to your choice, the current label on the specific variety matters more than the pack size or your preferred brand.

What should you look for when choosing?

Work out how many kano biscuits you need, then check the portions and packaging. If you have dietary or allergen requirements, read the label on the pack you’re buying.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Weekly supply Check the net weight and estimate how many times you’ll eat them this week. If several people will be eating them, I want to make sure there’s enough without leaving an opened pack sitting around for too long. Around 40% of consumers prioritise having enough for the week.
Portions and sharing Check the number of biscuits or portions, and whether they’re individually wrapped. For lunchboxes, I want to know in advance how many biscuits I can divide up and how to store the rest. Around 30% of consumers prioritise portion planning above all else.
Ingredients and nutritional values Read the allergen information and compare sugars and saturates per 100 g or per portion. If someone eating them has an allergy, or I want to compare nutritional values, I need to check the ingredients first. This is the top priority for around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming several biscuits means they’re individually wrapped for lunchboxes

    A stated number of biscuits or portions doesn’t tell you whether each kano has its own wrapper. This matters if you want to take biscuits with you on different days.

    Check the current pack for the number of biscuits, portion size and type of packaging.

  • Relying on a previous purchase when checking for allergens

    Ingredients and possible traces can vary between varieties. A familiar brand name is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you’re buying now.

    Before eating, check the ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings about traces.

  • Leaving an opened pack unsealed

    According to the Voedingscentrum, filled biscuits can dry out or go mouldy if they’re not stored properly.

    Store the pack tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
