Festival-goers who want to share kano biscuits
You’re looking for a ready-to-go pack for a group and want to know how many biscuits you can take. PLUS and Jumbo both list a 275 g variety. Check how many biscuits are in the pack, too.
Who is this for?
People who need to consider allergies
If you’re handing out biscuits to people whose allergies you don’t know, it’s important that they can read the label for themselves. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods.
Group buyers who need several packs
You want to make sure you have enough packs for the occasion, so check which packaging is available at your chosen shop before you set off. Check the number of biscuits in each pack, too, rather than relying on the weight alone.
What should you look for when choosing?
Decide how many biscuits you want to hand out. Then check the label and storage instructions, and make sure you can buy the packs you need in time.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Number of biscuits | Check the number of biscuits on the pack alongside the net weight. PLUS and Jumbo each list a 275 g variety. | I’m sharing with a group whose size may vary, so I want to know whether one pack contains enough individual biscuits. Around 23% of consumers prioritise the number of portions to share. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on the exact variety you’re buying, and keep the packaging to hand while you’re handing out the biscuits. | If I don’t know other people’s allergies, I want them to be able to check the ingredients before eating. For around 31% of consumers, this information is the top priority. |
| Storage | Check the storage instructions on the pack and make sure you can follow them before and during the festival. | I’m taking the biscuits with me before the festival and want to store them as instructed on the packaging. This is a top priority for around 23% of consumers. |
| Availability | Shortly before buying, check whether your chosen shop has enough packs of the variety you want. | I need more than one pack and don’t want to have to rely on a different variety on the day I buy them. Availability is the main concern for around 23% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming 275 g tells you how many people can share a pack
A pack’s weight doesn’t tell you how many individual biscuits it contains. That number matters if you want everyone to have one.
Check the number of biscuits on the packaging, and consider taking an extra pack if you’re unsure how large the group will be.
-
Assuming vegetarian means suitable for people with allergies
Jumbo describes its Kano's met Roomboter as vegetarian, but the ingredients list includes wheat, milk, soya, almond and egg yolk, among other ingredients. So this label doesn’t mean the variety is suitable for someone who needs to avoid any of these ingredients.
Keep the label from the pack you’ve bought with the biscuits, so anyone with an allergy can check the information for themselves.

Frequently asked questions
Should I keep the packaging when handing out kano biscuits?
Keep the packaging with the biscuits so others can check the ingredients and allergens before eating. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information should appear on the label of prepacked foods.
Which allergens are listed for Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter?
Jumbo’s ingredient information includes wheat, milk, soya, almond and egg yolk, among other ingredients. Check the label on the pack you actually buy, too, as product information may change.
How should I store kano biscuits before taking them with me?
Follow the instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. For Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter, Jumbo says to store them in a cool, dry, dark place. Make sure you can do this both before you set off and at the festival.
How many packs of kano biscuits will my group need?
