Who are these options for?

For sharing biscuits with coffee or tea

You’re looking for filled biscuits to enjoy with housemates or guests on planned occasions. The number of biscuits and the pack size can help you choose the right option.

For planning snacks for the week

You want to decide in advance how many kano biscuits to buy and when to eat them. So, as well as the pack size, you’ll want to check the portion size and nutritional information.

For checking ingredients and allergens

You check the ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack, including any warnings about cross-contamination. Buying the same brand before doesn’t replace checking the label.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you’re looking for filled biscuits for one or several coffee breaks. Then compare pack sizes and read the label for the variety you want to buy.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Biscuit and almond paste Read the product description and compare any stated filling percentage only for the specific varieties you’re considering. If I’m looking for a classic filled kano biscuit to have with coffee, the description helps me know what to expect. Around 31% of consumers prioritise the biscuit and filling.
Pack size Compare the weight, number of biscuits and current availability with the occasions you have planned. For several coffee breaks, I want enough to share without buying more than we plan to eat. A suitable pack size is a priority for around 31% of consumers.
Portion and nutritional information Check the portion size and nutritional values per 100 g and, if provided, per portion. If I’m adding kano biscuits to my weekly shop, I want to know in advance what one portion includes. For around 23% of consumers, portion size is the first thing they consider.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label for the variety you’ve chosen, including any ‘may contain’ information. If I need to avoid an ingredient or allergen, I can’t rely on the label for a different variety. This is the top priority for around 15% of consumers.

What to watch out for when doing your weekly shop

  • Mistaking a kano biscuit for a digestive product

    The varieties described are sweet biscuits filled with almond paste. Their product descriptions make no claims about digestive benefits.

    Choose kano biscuits for a planned treat, not as a remedy for digestive discomfort.

  • Looking only at the pack weight

    A larger pack won’t necessarily suit the number of people or coffee breaks you’re shopping for.

    Decide in advance how many biscuits you want to share, then compare the pack contents.

    A pack that doesn’t fit your plans could lead to extra, unplanned snacking.

  • Relying on an old label for a different variety

    Ingredients and allergen information can vary between varieties or change over time. That’s why Albert Heijn advises customers to read the packaging itself.

    Before buying and eating the product, check the label on the exact pack you’re using, including any information about possible cross-contamination.

  • Assuming a product listing confirms it’s in stock

    Jumbo says its Aviateur kano biscuits are no longer part of its online range. The Lidl listing for Sondey only mentions in-store sales and is dated 6 October 2026.

    Check current availability on the day you shop. If you choose a different variety, read its label too.
