Who is this guide for?

Households with regular coffee breaks

If you regularly put kano biscuits in the biscuit tin and want a pack size that suits the number of people who’ll be sharing them.

Planning portions for busy mornings

If you plan your coffee breaks around the commute. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions per pack, while Jumbo lists five 55 g portions. So the stated portions aren’t all the same size.

Shoppers who check ingredients

If you want to read the ingredients, allergens and nutrition information for the exact variant before choosing a pack for regular coffee breaks.

What should you look for when choosing?

Think about how many people take biscuits from the tin and how often. Then compare the stated portions and check the label on your chosen kano biscuits before buying.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Pack size for sharing Compare the net weight with how many kano biscuits your household usually gets through. If several people regularly have a biscuit with their coffee, I want a pack we can share without keeping it open for too long. Around 34% of consumers prioritise pack size for sharing.
Portions and storage Check the number of portions and their weight, and read the storage advice for after opening. For regular coffee breaks, I want to know in advance how many portions a pack contains and be able to store the rest in a sealed container. Around 33% of consumers prioritise this need for portions and storage.
Ingredients and nutrition information Read the allergen information for the exact variant and compare the nutritional values per 100 g or per portion. If certain ingredients are a deciding factor for me, I want to know what’s in the kano biscuits I choose. This is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a large pack without thinking about storage

    Once opened, the biscuits can go soft or stale if they aren’t stored properly. A larger pack is most practical when it suits how much your household gets through.

    Follow the storage advice on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a tightly sealed container.

  • Assuming all kano biscuits contain the same allergens

    Ingredients and information about potential allergens vary between variants. If you have a relevant allergy, checking the product name alone isn’t enough.

    Before buying, read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the exact variant, even if you’ve bought the brand before.

  • Looking only at the number of biscuits

    The stated portion weight can vary between products: Albert Heijn lists 45 g per portion, while Jumbo lists 55 g.

    As well as comparing the number of portions, check the portion weight and, if it matters to your choice, the nutrition information per portion and per 100 g.
