When choosing kano biscuits for a children’s party, check the stated number of items or servings rather than relying on the pack weight alone. Albert Heijn lists six servings, Jumbo lists five servings, and Jumbo lists seven biscuits in a pack of Aviateur Gevulde Kano’s. Check that the quantity is right for your guest list. Before handing them out, read the current label too, especially if a child has an allergy or intolerance.
If you want to set aside a portion for every child, compare your guest list with the number stated on the pack. Albert Heijn lists six servings for AH Roomboter kano’s, Jumbo lists five servings for Jumbo Kano’s met Roomboter, and Jumbo lists seven biscuits for Aviateur Gevulde Kano’s. A stated serving is not necessarily the same as one individually wrapped biscuit.
If you expect to have some left over for a lunchbox, check the storage instructions on the pack you buy. Albert Heijn advises storing its kano biscuits in a sealed tin once opened; Jumbo says to store its kano biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place.
If a child has an allergy or intolerance, the information on the current pack matters more than the number of treats you’d like to hand out. Product information from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Aviateur lists the allergens present and possible cross-contamination, which vary between products.
Decide how many portions you want to hand out, then check whether the pack suits your needs for any leftovers and the allergens you need to consider.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Number of treats | Compare the stated number of items or servings with your guest list; don’t work it out from the pack weight. | If I want to set something aside for every child, I need to know in advance how many I can hand out. For around 38% of consumers, this is the top priority. |
| Storing leftovers | Read the storage instructions on the pack and choose an amount you can use while following them. | If there are kano biscuits left over for a lunchbox, I want to know how to store an opened pack. This is the main concern for around 31% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Just before handing them out, check the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the actual pack. | If someone in the group has an allergy or intolerance, I want to know whether I can hand out these kano biscuits first. Around 31% of consumers prioritise this check. |

Check the ingredient and allergen information on the actual pack for the child in question before handing anything out. Don’t rely on an online description alone.
Under the general EU rules described by Your Europe, pre-packed food must show details including the product name, ingredients, allergens, net quantity and nutritional information.
