Who should consider the packaging format?

Lunchbox planners and anyone handing out individual portions

If you want to know in advance how many portions you can hand out, check both the number of portions and the individual packaging. Albert Heijn and Jumbo state the number of portions; PLUS lists Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel. Check the pack to see how many individual wrappers it contains.

Anyone stocking a small stall

If you’re offering kano pastries alongside Dutch doughnuts at your stall, a stated number of portions can help you plan a short serving session. Follow the storage instructions and use-by date on the packaging when managing your stock.

Anyone handing out food who needs to answer questions about allergens

Before buying and serving, check the latest ingredients and allergen information for guests who avoid certain ingredients. According to Ondernemersplein, clear allergen information must be available to customers at market stalls selling non-prepacked food.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to hand out kano pastries individually or need a set number of portions for a sharing occasion. Then check the pack for the details that matter for the way you plan to serve them.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Individual portions Check the number of pastries and whether each one is individually wrapped; the words Per Wikkel alone don’t confirm how many wrappers are included. If I need an individual kano pastry for every lunchbox, I want to know how many I can hand out before I buy. Predictable individual portions are the top priority for around 50% of consumers.
Portions and stock Compare the stated number of portions and the portion size. Also read the storage and use-by information on the pack. For a short serving session, I want to be able to plan a set number of portions without relying on the total weight. Around 30% of consumers put this kind of stock planning first.
Allergen information Read the latest ingredients list and allergen information, including any warning about possible traces. If serving non-prepacked food, make sure customers have clear information. When guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to answer their questions using the pack for the food I’m handing out. Being able to provide clear allergen information is the main concern for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the total weight tells you how many lunchbox portions there are

    Lidl lists Sondey at 325 g and ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket at 330 g. The weight alone doesn’t tell you how many pastries you can hand out.

    If you’re planning for a set number of people, choose a pack that states the number of pastries or portions, or check the quantity on the packaging before buying.

  • Assuming one portion means one individually wrapped pastry

    Albert Heijn’s six portions and Jumbo’s five make it easier to plan how many portions you’ll need, but they don’t confirm that each kano pastry is individually wrapped.

    Check the packaging if you want to hand them out individually. If they’re not individually wrapped, choose a suitable hygienic way to serve them and keep the allergen information available.

  • Relying on outdated allergen information online

    Ingredients and allergen information can change. Albert Heijn notes that product information may change as products are improved.

    Check the pack every time you receive a new delivery. According to Ondernemersplein, customers at markets must be given clear information about allergens when non-prepacked food is served.

  • Confusing different Aviateur varieties

    Jumbo lists Aviateur Gevulde Kano's 7 Stuks 325 g as no longer part of its online range, while PLUS lists Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel 230 g. These are different packs.

    Check the current variety and availability before buying. If you choose an alternative, compare the contents, serving format and allergen information again.
