If you want one kano biscuit at a time
You want to take one portion and keep the rest of the pack for later. Jumbo lists five 55 g portions in its 275 g pack. Also check how to reseal the pack once it’s open.
Who is this stocking-up advice for?
If your household is comparing pack sizes
You’re looking for an amount that suits how much you get through at home. The listed Jumbo and PLUS packs each weigh 275 g, while Heerlijck Banket at ALDI comes in a 330 g pack. Pack weight doesn’t tell you how many individual biscuits or wrappers are inside.
If you need to check ingredients or allergens
You want to know what the biscuits contain before buying them again. Jumbo lists wheat, milk, soya, almond and egg yolk, among other ingredients, in its butter kano biscuits. Albert Heijn notes that online ingredient and allergen information can change, so always check the current label.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you need individually wrapped biscuits. Then compare the quantity with how much you get through, and check the best-before date and ingredients on the pack.

Common pitfalls
-
Assuming portions mean individually wrapped biscuits
Jumbo lists five portions in one pack, but a portion label doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits have individual wrappers. That matters if you want to take one biscuit with you at a time or keep the rest for later.
Check the pack or clear product photos to see whether each kano biscuit is wrapped individually. Store an opened pack according to the packaging instructions and seal it properly.
-
Buying extra packs without checking the best-before date
When you’re stocking up at home, the best-before date and storage conditions both affect how long the biscuits stay at their best. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, a best-before date relates to quality and applies to unopened packaging.
Check the date on every pack and choose an amount that suits how much you get through and the space you have to store them. Once opened, follow the storage instructions on the label.
-
Assuming the ingredients are the same as last time
Jumbo lists wheat, milk, soya, almond and egg yolk, among other ingredients, in its butter kano biscuits. Albert Heijn warns that online product information can change.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging before eating, even if you’ve bought the same product before.
