For one kano biscuit per child, choose a multipack with enough biscuits for your guest list. Don’t assume they’re individually wrapped without checking the packaging. Ask about allergies in advance and check the current ingredients and allergen information. If you want to hand out a small treat, also compare the portion size with the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s advice to choose small portions of biscuits or sweets.
If you want to match the number of biscuits to your guest list, check the portions rather than just the pack weight. Albert Heijn lists six portions of 45 g for AH Roomboter kano's; Jumbo lists five portions for Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter.
Ask in advance which ingredients children need to avoid. The product information from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS lists different allergens and possible traces for the kano biscuits mentioned here, so check the packaging of the variant you plan to hand out.
A whole kano biscuit may not be the right size for the treat you have in mind. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping portions small when choosing biscuits or sweets.
For a children’s party, first work out how many biscuits you want to hand out and whether the ingredients are suitable for your guests. Then consider whether a whole kano biscuit is the portion size you want to offer.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Number of portions | Compare the number of biscuits or portions per pack with the number of children; don’t work it out from the pack weight alone. | If I want to give every child one biscuit, I need to know whether I’ll have enough without lots left over. For around 44% of consumers, having the right number of portions is the most important factor. |
| Allergens | Ask about allergies and check both the ingredients and any warnings about possible traces on the current packaging. | If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I only want to hand out a treat once I’ve checked the chosen variant. Allergens are the main concern for around 33% of consumers. |
| Treat size | Check the stated portion size and decide whether a whole kano biscuit is suitable for what you want to hand out. | I want to offer a biscuit but keep the treat small, so the size of one biscuit is a deciding factor. Around 23% of consumers put this choice of portion size first. |
A pack containing several kano biscuits isn’t the same as individually wrapped biscuits. Albert Heijn lists six portions and Jumbo lists five; the pack weight alone won’t tell you how many biscuits you can hand out.
Check the number of biscuits and, if you need them to be individually wrapped, check the packaging.
Ingredients and warnings about possible traces vary from product to product. You can’t use the information for one kano biscuit to assess a different variant.
Ask about allergies in advance and read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you plan to hand out. If in doubt, choose an alternative you can confirm is suitable.
Albert Heijn lists a 45 g portion for AH Roomboter kano's; Jumbo’s product information lists 55 g per portion for Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter. A whole biscuit could therefore be larger than the treat you have in mind.
Decide in advance what portion size is right for the party. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises choosing small portions when offering biscuits or sweets.
The ingredients and warnings on the packaging you actually buy are what matter when handing out the biscuits. For example, Lidl’s product page for Sondey Kano's doesn’t provide the full allergen information you need to check.
Read the label before buying and handing out the biscuits, even if you’ve bought the product before.
Albert Heijn lists AH Roomboter kano's in a 270 g pack with six portions of 45 g.
Jumbo lists Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter in a 275 g pack with five portions.
PLUS lists PLUS Roomboter kano's in a 275 g pack and also offers Aviateur Kano's in a 230 g pack.
PLUS lists Aviateur Kano's in a 230 g pack.
Lidl lists Sondey Kano's in a 325 g pack.
Don’t assume so: the products listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo come in packs with six and five portions respectively. If individual wrapping matters when handing them out, check the packaging.
Check the full ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve chosen. The product information for the variants mentioned at Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS lists ingredients including cereals containing gluten, milk, soya, egg and almond. However, the information and warnings about possible traces vary from product to product.
Yes. Before choosing a treat, ask whether any children have allergies or avoid certain products for other reasons. This follows the advice of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre and gives you the chance to check the ingredients in the kano biscuits you choose.
Not necessarily: Albert Heijn lists a 45 g portion for AH Roomboter kano's, while Jumbo lists a 55 g portion for Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter.
