Start by checking the number of guests and the number of portions or pieces stated on the pack. Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH Roomboter kano's, while Jumbo lists five for Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter, so you may need several packs for a larger group. Then compare the ingredients, and if anyone has an allergy, check the label on the exact pack you’re serving: ingredients and allergens vary by product.
If you want to know whether one pack will be enough, check the number of portions or pieces stated on it rather than looking at the weight alone. Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH Roomboter kano's; Jumbo lists five for Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter.
Compare the ingredients and the stated proportion of almond paste in the exact product. The butter kano pastries from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS have different recipes.
Check the ingredients and allergens on every pack you plan to serve. Product information from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS lists ingredients such as wheat or gluten, milk and soya; other allergens and warnings vary by product.
First decide how many portions you want to serve, then compare only products whose labels you can check for all your guests.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portions to share | Compare the stated number of portions or pieces with the number of guests, and check the pack weight too. | If I’m serving several guests, I want to know in advance whether everyone can have a portion. For around 40% of consumers, having enough to serve everyone is the top priority. |
| Recipe | Read the product description and ingredients list for butter, almond paste and any almond decoration. | I prefer to choose based on the ingredients I’m looking for, rather than the name kano alone. Around 30% of consumers give the recipe top priority. |
| Allergens | Check the label on the exact pack, including the allergens and any warnings that the product may contain other allergens. | If a guest has an allergy, I need to know what’s in the pack before serving it. For around 30% of consumers, checking this is the most important consideration. |
