Choose kano biscuits clearly labelled ‘Per Wrapper’ if you want to hand out unopened portions or use the pack over several coffee breaks; PLUS lists Aviateur Kano biscuits 230 g under this name. A tray is a good choice when you want to serve the biscuits together and don’t need individual wrappers. Check the packaging, ingredients and allergen information on the pack before serving.
Who should consider the packaging format?
If you’re handing out individual biscuits
When you have visitors or a meeting, you may want to put one unopened portion out for each person rather than open a pack. According to PLUS, Aviateur Kano biscuits are labelled ‘Per Wrapper’, which suits this way of serving them.
If you’ll use a pack over several coffee breaks
If there are biscuits left over, how you store them matters too. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.
If you’re checking allergens for a guest
If someone has a food allergy, the packaging of the specific pack is what matters. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens in prepacked foods must be listed on the label.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to hand out unopened portions or serve the biscuits together from a tray. Then consider how you’ll store any leftovers, and read the label before serving.

| Handing out individual biscuits |

If the pack won’t be finished in one sitting, I want to store the remaining biscuits carefully; this is the most important factor for around 40% of consumers. |
| Serving them together |
Compare whether the pack is labelled per tray or per wrapper, and check its net weight. |
If everyone is having coffee at the same time, I mainly want packaging that suits serving the biscuits together. This is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a tray for individually wrapped biscuits
PLUS labels Aviateur Kano biscuits ‘Per Wrapper’ and PLUS Butter Kano biscuits ‘Per Tray’. A tray label doesn’t mean you can give each guest an individually wrapped biscuit.
Check the packaging label and look at the pack to see whether each portion is sealed separately.
-
Relying on an old allergen list
Ingredients and allergen information can change, Albert Heijn warns. So a previous purchase or product page is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you’re serving.
If any guests have an allergy or intolerance, read the current ingredients list and allergen information before serving.
-
Relying on the wrapper alone to keep biscuits fresh
Even with a pack of individually wrapped portions, an opened pack needs to be stored appropriately. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.
Seal any leftovers well and follow the storage advice and best-before date on the pack.
