If you want to give every wedding guest a sealed kano biscuit, only choose a product once the packaging or supplier confirms that each one is individually wrapped. Albert Heijn and Jumbo product pages list the number of portions per pack, but that doesn’t tell you whether each kano has its own wrapper. If biscuits served loose on a platter are also suitable, you could consider a multipack and keep the up-to-date allergen information available when serving.
If you want to place one sealed treat per guest at a self-service buffet or on pre-set plates, check that each biscuit has its own wrapper. An outer film or a stated number of portions doesn’t confirm this.
If you’re serving biscuits from an open platter, guests need to know which kano biscuits are on it. The Albert Heijn and Jumbo product pages list several allergens for the variants mentioned, including almonds, eggs, milk, soya and wheat. Use the information on the packaging of the product you actually buy.
If individual wrappers aren’t essential, you can serve kano biscuits from a multipack. The stated number of portions can help with planning; follow the instructions on your chosen pack for serving and storage.
First, decide whether every guest needs a sealed portion. This will determine whether to look for individually wrapped products or serve kano biscuits on a platter.
Suitable if: each guest doesn’t need an individual wrapper and you want to serve the kano biscuits from a multipack.
Consider: the stated AH and Jumbo portion counts don’t confirm that each biscuit is individually wrapped. If you’re serving them on an open platter, keep the product-specific allergen information available.
Suitable if: a sealed portion for each guest matters more than the kano shape.
Consider: check how many wrappers are in each pack and check the alternative’s allergens; a different biscuit isn’t a kano.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual wrapping | Check that each biscuit has its own wrapper and how many individually wrapped biscuits you’ll receive. | If I’m setting out a sealed treat for every guest, I don’t want to discover while setting up that only the outer packaging is sealed. For around 45% of consumers, individual wrapping is the top priority. |
| Allergens at an open buffet | Check the allergens in the exact variant and keep the up-to-date product information by the platter. | When guests help themselves to a kano biscuit from the platter, I want to be able to tell them which allergens the chosen product contains. For around 28% of consumers, this information is their main concern. |
| Portions and presentation | Compare the stated number of portions with your guest list and follow the storage instructions on the pack. | If I can serve the kano biscuits loose, I mainly want to know how many packs I’ll need for the buffet. This is the biggest consideration for around 27% of consumers. |
