Choose a pack of kano cakes based on how many times you plan to eat them and the storage instructions for an opened pack. If organic certification is essential, check the organic labelling and European organic logo on the packaging: the shop or pack size tells you nothing about this. Also check the current allergen information on the label before sharing the cakes or putting them in a lunchbox.

| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic labelling | Check the organic labelling and European organic logo on the packaging. Skal Biocontrole states that this logo is compulsory for pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic. | If I want to buy organic, I want to be able to tell from the product label, not the shop’s name. For around 42% of consumers, this check comes first. |
| Pack size | Compare the number of cakes or portions with your plans. Albert Heijn lists AH Roomboter kano's as 270 g with six 45 g portions; for another pack, also check current availability. | For lunchboxes or a shared snack, I want enough kano cakes without opening more than I can use. Around 33% of consumers prioritise getting the right quantity. |
| Allergens and storage | Read the current label, including any ‘may contain’ information, and follow the storage instructions after opening. PLUS lists wheat, soya, milk and almonds, among other allergens, for Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel 230 g. | If several people will be eating from the pack, I want to know which allergens it contains and how to store the rest before sharing it. This is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
A supermarket that stocks organic products doesn’t make every pack of kano cakes organic. You need to be able to check the product’s organic status on the product itself.
