Who are these options for?

Anyone looking for a small pack for themselves

If you’re planning a single snack break during the autumn half-term, even a five-piece pack may be more than you want to buy. PLUS lists Aviateur Kano pastries as five pieces weighing 230 g; check that this pack size suits your plans.

Anyone comparing a butter version

Jumbo describes its butter Kano pastries as butter biscuits with 38% almond paste filling. If that particular recipe matters to you, check the ingredients for the version you choose.

Anyone who needs to check allergens

Don’t rely on the product name or an online image alone. Albert Heijn notes that ingredient and allergen information can change, so read the label on the pack you buy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you need a single snack or can make use of a pack containing several Kano pastries. Then compare the version you want and, if you have an allergy, read the information on the pack you choose.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Portion and packaging Check the number of pieces and the net weight; look at the packaging itself to see whether each pastry is individually wrapped. I want to take one Kano pastry with me without buying a large pack. That’s why portion size matters most to around 46% of consumers.
Type of Kano pastry Read the product description and ingredients if you’re specifically looking for a butter biscuit with almond paste filling. I’d rather choose based on the type of biscuit than just the pack size. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this when choosing a product.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label, including the ingredients and any warnings about cross-contamination. I need to be able to check whether the pack I choose is suitable for my allergy or ingredient preferences. For around 27% of consumers, this is their first consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a multi-pack of Kano pastries for a single snack

    A stated number of pieces or pack weight doesn’t tell you whether you can buy one Kano pastry on its own or whether each biscuit has its own wrapper. You could end up taking more than you intended for a single snack break.

    Before buying, check the number of pieces and look at the packaging or an explicit description of the inner packaging.

  • Treating online ingredient information as definitive

    Albert Heijn warns that product information can change. For its butter version, Jumbo’s product information lists ingredients including wheat, milk, soya, almond and egg; don’t assume this applies to other Kano pastries.

    If you have an allergy, read the ingredients and any warnings on the label of the exact pack you’re buying.

Frequently asked questions

Is a pack of Kano pastries the same as a single snack?

No. A pack containing several pieces isn’t automatically sold as a single snack or individually wrapped. For example, PLUS lists Aviateur Kano pastries as five pieces weighing 230 g; check the inner packaging if you only want to take one biscuit with you.

Which pack should I compare if I want as little left over as possible?

The five-piece, 230 g pack of Aviateur Kano pastries listed by PLUS is smaller than the listed 275 g and 330 g packs. Just consider whether you’ll use the remaining biscuits, and check the number of pieces on the current pack.

Which allergens are listed for Jumbo butter Kano pastries?

Jumbo’s product information lists ingredients including wheat, milk, soya, almond and egg for this version. If you have an allergy, read the label on the pack you’re buying, including any warnings about cross-contamination.

How should I store Kano pastries after buying them?

For its butter Kano pastries, Jumbo recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place. Also follow the best-before date and any other instructions on the pack you buy.
