For a board game night, choose kano pastries that are explicitly stated to be individually wrapped only if you want to give each player an unopened pastry. A number of portions or items, or the term ‘foil packaging’, does not confirm this. If a shared pack is fine, check the number of pastries, storage advice after opening and the allergens listed on the pack you buy.
You want to be able to serve the kano pastries individually and avoid having to store leftovers from an opened pack. To do this, check whether the packaging really does state that each pastry is individually wrapped. Six portions in a pack does not automatically mean six individual wrappers.
You want to check the ingredients and allergens in the kano pastries you’ve chosen before serving them. Albert Heijn lists egg, milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and almond, among other things, for AH Roomboter kano’s. Also check the pack you buy for warnings about the possible presence of other allergens.
If individual wrappers aren’t needed, you can choose a pack size to suit your group. Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH Roomboter kano’s; Dirk sells Aviateur Kano’s in packs of five. Neither figure tells you whether each pastry has its own wrapper.
First, decide whether each player needs an unopened pastry. Then check the allergens and how many kano pastries you’ll need.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual wrappers | Look for an explicit statement that each item is individually wrapped, or a clear image showing separate, sealed wrappers. | I want to give every player an unopened kano pastry and avoid taking leftovers from an opened pack. Individual packaging is the top priority for around 38% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label on the pack you buy, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. | If someone in the group needs to avoid an allergen, I want to know what’s stated on the pack of these kano pastries. For around 37% of consumers, this check is the top priority. |
| Number of pastries | Compare the number of items or portions with the size of your group, and read the storage advice for an opened pack. | For a small group, I want enough kano pastries to serve everyone without having lots left over. For around 25% of consumers, the number of items is the main consideration. |
Foil around a pack doesn’t show that the pastries inside are individually sealed. So Aviateur’s description of ‘foil packaging’ doesn’t confirm that each one can be handed out separately.
Before buying, check whether the product description or packaging explicitly states or shows that each kano pastry has its own wrapper.
Product information can change. If guests need to avoid an allergen, an ingredients list you looked at previously is no substitute for the label on the pack you buy.
Before serving, read the ingredients, listed allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings on that label.
The weight doesn’t tell you how many pastries you can hand out. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions for AH Roomboter kano’s; Dirk lists five items for Aviateur Kano’s.
First, count the players and decide whether you want extra pastries. If you’re sharing a pack, also check how to store any leftovers after opening.
AH Roomboter kano’s are worth considering if you want a pack with six portions to suit your gaming group.
Aviateur Kano’s are an option to look at if a shared pack is enough for your gaming group.
Six portions doesn’t mean that AH Roomboter kano’s are individually wrapped. Albert Heijn lists a 270 g pack with six 45 g portions and gives storage advice for after opening. If you need individual wrappers for your game night, check the packaging for an explicit statement.
No, the term alone doesn’t tell you how the pastries are packaged inside the pack. Real Dutch Food describes Aviateur Kano’s as being wrapped in foil, but that doesn’t mean each pastry has its own wrapper. Check the packaging or ask for confirmation about the specific product.
Check the allergens and warnings on the current label of the kano pastries you’re serving. Albert Heijn lists egg, milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and almond, among other things, for AH Roomboter kano’s. Information can vary by product.
Albert Heijn recommends storing AH Roomboter kano’s in a cool, dry place and putting them in a sealed tin after opening. Also follow the use-by date and any instructions on the pack you buy.
