Who is this relevant to?

A small coffee group looking to avoid leftovers

You want to estimate how many kano pastries you can serve. A stated number of items or portions helps; the pack weight alone won’t tell you how many pastries are inside.

If you need to check ingredients for your guests

If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, check the ingredients list, allergens and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the pack you buy.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you’re looking for a single pastry or a pack to share. If you’re buying a pack, check the number of portions and the label if the ingredients matter to your guests.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
A single kano pastry Check whether one pastry is sold individually. According to PLUS product information, the name Aviateur Kano’s Per Wikkel doesn’t confirm that it’s available individually. I want to serve one kano pastry without bringing a whole pack. For around 34% of consumers, individual availability is the top priority.
Number of portions Check the pack for the number of items or portions. Jumbo states that its 275 g pack contains five portions. For a small gathering, I want to know in advance how many I can serve. For around 33% of consumers, the number of portions comes first.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ warnings, even if you’ve already looked at the product information online. If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to check what’s in the pack I’ve bought. Around 33% of consumers give this the highest priority.

Common mistakes

  • Reading ‘Per Wikkel’ as ‘sold individually’

    The supermarket products mentioned are sold in packs. The name Aviateur Kano’s Per Wikkel doesn’t tell you how many pastries or individual wrappers are in the pack.

    If you want exactly one kano pastry, check before buying whether it’s actually sold individually. If you’re unsure, ask about the packaging or look at the pack in store.

  • Assuming every kano pastry is suitable for every guest

    Product information from Jumbo, PLUS and Aviateur, among others, lists different allergens. Which ingredients are relevant will depend on the product variant and the guest.

    Check the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warnings on the current pack before serving the pastries.
