When planning what to share on New Year's Eve, start by thinking about how many pastries you need. Jumbo lists Aviateur Filled Kano Pastries in a 325 g pack containing seven pieces, while its own 275 g pack lists five portions. Then compare the filling and check the label for the exact variety. Jumbo says the 325 g Aviateur pack is no longer available in its online range, so check what you can actually buy.
If you want to share the kano pastries among several guests, check the stated number of pieces or portions as well as the weight. Jumbo lists seven pieces for the 325 g Aviateur pack; its own 275 g Kano Pastries with Butter pack lists five portions.
If any guests need to avoid particular ingredients or allergens, read the label on the pack you buy. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, common allergens are listed on the label. The allergens present and any precautionary ‘may contain’ statements can vary between kano pastry varieties.
First decide how much you want to serve. Then compare the filling and check the ingredients of the variety you’ve bought before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How much to share | Check the total weight and the stated number of pieces or portions. A portion is not necessarily one individual pastry. | If I’m filling a serving plate for several guests, I want to know in advance how I can divide the contents. For around 40% of consumers, having enough to go round would be the top priority. |
| Filling and ingredients | Compare the stated almond paste filling percentage for the exact variety and read the ingredients list. | I want to choose the balance of pastry and almond paste filling that I serve. For around 30% of consumers, the filling would come first. |
| Allergens | Check the pack you’ve bought for the allergens present and anything listed under ‘may contain’. | If a guest has a food allergy, I want to check the exact pack before serving anything. Allergens would be the main priority for around 30% of consumers. |
Jumbo lists seven pieces in the 325 g Aviateur pack. Its own 275 g pack lists five portions; the weight alone doesn’t tell you how many individual pastries you can hand out.
If you want to plan how to share them in advance, check whether the pack lists pieces or portions and make sure that works for your group.
The product listings from Jumbo, PLUS and Aviateur differ in the allergens present and possible traces. The name ‘butter kano pastries’ doesn’t tell you everything about what’s in them.
Before serving, check both the ingredients and the allergen and ‘may contain’ information on the pack for the exact variety.
Jumbo lists 325 g Aviateur Filled Kano Pastries as no longer available in its online range. The Joybuy listing for g'woon Kano Pastries, 275 g, also says the product is unavailable.
