You can take a kano biscuit from a multipack on a walk if you pack one at home, but it won’t be an unopened, individually wrapped portion. If that matters to you, check the packaging of the specific product or choose a different kind of snack. With a kano biscuit, also check the storage instructions and the latest ingredients and allergen information.
You want to take one kano biscuit with you without having to divide up an opened pack. The pack weight doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped, so check the number of biscuits and whether each one has its own wrapper.
You don’t mind buying a larger pack and can take one kano biscuit with you before setting off. Think about how you’ll protect the biscuit in your bag, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
You want to know what’s in the kano biscuit you’ve chosen before taking it with you. Check the latest packaging: Albert Heijn warns that product information, including allergen information, may change.
First decide whether you need an unopened portion. Then consider how you’ll carry the biscuit and check the information on the label of your pack.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portion | Check how many biscuits are in the pack and whether each one has its own wrapper. A 275 g pack, as listed by Jumbo for its butter kano biscuits, doesn’t confirm this. | When I walk alone, I want to take one unopened kano biscuit without opening the rest of the pack. For around 45% of consumers, an individual portion is their main priority. |
| Carrying and storage | Read the storage instructions and think about how you’ll protect one biscuit from being squashed in your bag. Jumbo says to store its Butter Kano Biscuits in a cool, dry and dark place. | I need a snack that fits in my walking kit without being left unprotected at the bottom of my bag. Around 33% of consumers prioritise practicality when carrying a snack. |
| Label information | Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack you buy. Compare the nutritional values of different snacks per 100 g. | When choosing, I want to be able to check whether the ingredients suit my needs. For around 22% of consumers, checking the label is their top priority. |
A smaller pack doesn’t mean each biscuit has its own wrapper. The 275 g Jumbo pack doesn’t, by itself, confirm that the biscuits are individually portioned.
Before buying a pack for a walk, check how many biscuits it contains and whether they’re individually wrapped.
If you’re only taking one, you’ll need to store the rest at home and protect the kano biscuit you take with you.
A product’s ingredients and allergen information can change. Information for a different kano biscuit variety won’t necessarily apply to the pack you have.
When you buy it, check the ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging you’ll actually be taking with you.
Choosing a kano biscuit doesn’t cover everything else you might want to eat or drink during your walk. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre treats food and drink during physical activity, including walking, as a separate consideration.
Before setting off, think about drinks and any other times you might want to eat, based on how long you’ll be walking.
