Who is this for?

Common mistakes

  • Assuming multiple portions means individually wrapped biscuits

    Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH Roomboter kano’s, while Jumbo lists five portions for its kano biscuits. This doesn’t confirm that each biscuit has its own wrapper, which may be important for a lunchbox.

    Check the product page to see whether it explicitly says the kano biscuits are individually wrapped.

  • Assuming every variety contains the same allergens

    Ingredients and warnings vary by product. Information about another variety of kano biscuits is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you plan to share.

    When you buy them, read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variety, even if you’ve bought it before.

  • Treating old online information as definitive

    Product information can change. An ingredients list or nutritional table you checked previously may not be reliable for your final check before sharing the biscuits.

    Use online information to compare varieties, then check the current packaging before buying or sharing them.
