If you want to offer each hotel guest an individually wrapped kano pastry, consider Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel: PLUS uses this packaging description, but check on delivery that each pastry really is individually wrapped. Trays and multipacks may work for serving pastries on a platter, provided you organise portioning, covering and allergen information for the buffet.
You want to be able to set out or hand over a kano pastry without serving individual pastries from an opened pack. PLUS offers Aviateur Kano's with the description Per Wikkel (individually wrapped); check the wrappers on the pack you receive.
You take the portions from a tray or multipack and organise replenishing and covering the platter. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that information about allergens present must be available to guests when food is offered unpackaged.
You compare the stated number of portions with your planned servings and check how opened packs should be stored. Albert Heijn lists six portions in a 270 g pack; Jumbo lists five portions in 275 g.
First, decide between serving pastries in individual wrappers and presenting them on a platter. Then check the portion size and allergen information for each product you choose.
Suitable when: you want to offer each guest an individually wrapped kano pastry; PLUS describes Aviateur Kano's as individually wrapped.
Bear in mind: check the number of pastries, that each has its own wrapper, and the allergen information on the pack you receive.
Suitable when: your staff will serve and replenish the kano pastries on a buffet platter.
Bear in mind: organise how the platter will be covered. When food is offered unpackaged, keep allergen information available where the kano pastries are served, as required by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it's relevant to |
|---|---|---|
| Serving individually | Check that each pastry has its own wrapper and how many pastries are in the pack. | If I want to give each guest one wrapped kano pastry, I need to be able to serve them without using an open platter; around 42% of consumers prioritise individual servings. |
| Allergen information | Check the current packaging for each product and organise guest information when serving food unpackaged. | I want to be able to tell guests which allergens are present before they choose. For around 33% of consumers, this is their main concern. |
| Portion planning | Check the stated number of portions and instructions for storing the product after opening. | When replenishing the buffet, I want to know how many portions each pack provides and what to do with opened packs; around 25% of consumers prioritise portion planning. |
PLUS describes Aviateur Kano's as Per Wikkel (individually wrapped), but its own PLUS Roomboter kano's are sold Per Tray (per tray). These packaging descriptions refer to different ways of serving the pastries.
Ask about the exact packaging and check on delivery that each pastry has its own wrapper.
For an open platter, staff also need to organise serving, covering and replenishing it.
Product information from Aviateur, Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS lists different ingredients and may contain different warnings about allergens. A card for one product won't automatically describe another.
Prepare allergen information for each product you choose, based on the current packaging or supplier specification. Update it whenever you change the product or recipe.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says information about allergens present must be available where unpackaged food is offered. There are conditions for providing this information verbally.
Make written or electronic information easy to access by the platter, or put a verbal information process in place that meets the applicable requirements.
