Who are these packs for?

Coffee-break hosts

If you’re making coffee for several people, compare the number of portions, portion size and how much will be left in the pack afterwards.

Biscuit tin stockers

If you won’t be serving all the kano cakes at once, check how many are in the pack and how to store it once opened.

Allergen-aware hosts

If you’re sharing kano cakes with others, check the latest ingredients list beforehand for allergens that matter to your guests.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Number of portions Compare the stated number of portions or pieces and the portion size, not just the total weight. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions; Jumbo lists five portions in a 275 g pack. If I’m making coffee for several people, I want to know whether everyone can have a suitable portion. Around 33% of consumers prioritise the number of portions.
Storage after opening Check the storage advice and consider whether the amount suits your coffee breaks. Albert Heijn recommends storing its Roomboter kano's in a sealed tin after opening. If there are cakes left over, I want to know how to store them after the coffee break; this is the most important factor for around 25% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the latest label, including any warnings about possible traces. The Albert Heijn and Jumbo varieties described list ingredients including wheat, milk, egg, soya and almond. When I share kano cakes with others, the ingredients need to be suitable for their allergies; this check is the deciding factor for around 42% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a bigger pack means more portions

    Albert Heijn lists six portions in its 270 g pack; Jumbo lists five in its 275 g pack. So, almost the same total weight doesn’t necessarily mean the same number of stated portions.

    Check the number of portions or pieces and the portion size before choosing a pack for a group.

  • Going by the product name alone

    The Albert Heijn and Jumbo kano cakes described list several allergens. The name of the cake won’t tell you which ingredients or possible traces are listed on the current label.

    Read the packaging before serving, especially if someone sharing the food needs to avoid an allergen.

  • Assuming a product page means a pack is available to order

    Jumbo displays product information for Aviateur Gevulde Kano's, but also says that this variety is no longer part of its online range.

    Check that the pack you want is actually available to order before relying on the stated number of pieces.
