Which packaging is right for you?

Traveller looking for a single snack

If you want to take one kano biscuit without loose leftovers in your bag, look for a variant explicitly labelled ‘Individually Wrapped’. PLUS uses this label for its Aviateur variant.

Traveller who needs to check allergens

If you’re buying for yourself or someone else with an allergy or intolerance, read the label on the exact pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority requires allergens to be clearly listed on the labels of prepacked foods.

Traveller sharing kano biscuits

If you’re taking several along to share, a tray or pack may be suitable. A stated number of portions doesn’t prove that the biscuits are individually wrapped; seal an opened pack securely and follow the storage instructions.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to take out one kano biscuit at a time or share several. Then check the packaging and, if the ingredients matter to you, the label on the variant you’ve chosen.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Taking them individually Look for ‘Individually Wrapped’ on the exact variant and check that the wrapper is intact before you set off. If I only want to eat one kano biscuit on the way, I don’t want to keep the rest loose in an opened pack. Around 50% of consumers put this portioning convenience first.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label on the variant you’ve bought, including any warnings about cross-contamination. If I’m buying for someone because of an allergy or intolerance, I need to know exactly what’s in these kano biscuits. Checking the label is the main concern for around 33% of consumers.
Sharing and storage Check the total quantity, number of portions and storage instructions; ‘Tray Pack’ says nothing about individual wrappers. If I’m taking kano biscuits to share, a pack with several portions matters more to me than an individual wrapper for each biscuit. Around 17% of consumers prioritise sharing or stocking up.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing ‘Tray Pack’ with ‘Individually Wrapped’

    PLUS uses both labels for different kano biscuit variants. A tray listing doesn’t confirm that each biscuit has its own wrapper.

    Check the packaging label for the exact variant and look at the inner packaging before you set off.

  • Assuming the ingredients are the same across variants

    The ingredients in one specific kano biscuit don’t tell you for certain what’s in another brand or variant. Online product information can also change.

    If you have an allergy or intolerance, read the current label on the pack you’re actually buying.

  • Putting an opened pack loose in your bag

    An opened pack is less practical for leftover biscuits if you can’t seal it properly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a securely closed container.

    Seal the pack properly and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. If you only want one snack, you could take an undamaged, individually wrapped kano biscuit instead.

Brands and retailers to consider

Aviateur

PLUS lists Aviateur Kano's Individually Wrapped 230 g, a specific option to consider if you’re looking for an individual wrapper.

  • ‘Individually Wrapped’ appears in the product title.
  • PLUS recommends checking the physical packaging, as details such as ingredient and allergen information may change.

Jumbo

Jumbo describes its Butter Kano Biscuits 275 g as a pack containing five portions.

  • The product page gives storage instructions and the number of portions.
  • Five portions doesn’t automatically mean five individual wrappers.

PLUS

PLUS uses different packaging labels for the Aviateur variant ‘Individually Wrapped’ and its own Butter Kano Biscuits ‘Tray Pack’.

  • The product titles help you find the packaging type you’re looking for.
  • ‘Tray Pack’ doesn’t confirm that the biscuits have individual inner wrappers; check the packaging you choose.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn has a product page for AH Butter Kano Biscuits.

  • The product page is a useful starting point for looking at this specific variant.
  • Albert Heijn recommends checking the packaging because product information can change; the product listing doesn’t confirm individual wrappers.

Heerlijck Banket

ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket Kano's 330 g.

  • The product listing gives the pack weight for this variant.
  • The pack weight doesn’t tell you whether the kano biscuits are individually wrapped; check the product itself.
