Common mistakes
-
Assuming pack weight tells you how many portions there are
A heavier pack doesn’t necessarily contain more individual kano pastries. Albert Heijn lists six portions in 270 g; Jumbo lists five portions in 275 g.
Plan using the number of portions or pieces listed, and treat the weight as additional information.
-
Assuming the allergen information is the same for every product
Listed allergens and warnings about possible traces can vary between products. The online description you read previously may also differ from the pack you’re serving.
Check the current label and keep the packaging handy in case guests want to check which allergens are listed.
-
Relying on mini packs always being available
ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket mini kano pastries as available while stocks last. That means this size may not be available when you do your shopping.
Check availability and consider whether several standard packs would also give you the number of pieces you need.

Frequently asked questions
How many packs of kano pastries do I need for my birthday drinks party?
It depends on how many guests will have a kano pastry and what other treats you’re serving. Use the portions or pieces listed on the pack: Albert Heijn lists six standard portions per pack, Jumbo lists five, and Heerlijck Banket at ALDI lists 14 mini kano pastries per pack.
Are mini kano pastries more convenient for a larger group?
Mini kano pastries are handy if you want to serve more individual, smaller treats, but they won’t give every guest a standard-sized kano pastry. Heerlijck Banket’s mini pack at ALDI contains 14 pieces and is available while stocks last; several standard packs could be an alternative.
Which allergens should I check in kano pastries?
Read the allergen information on the pack you’re actually serving. For their standard kano pastries, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list cereals containing gluten, egg, milk, soya and almond, among other allergens. Also check for any warnings about other allergens.
How should I store kano pastries until the party?
Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack you’ve bought. Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a cool, dry place and keeping opened kano pastries in a sealed tin; Jumbo and PLUS also recommend storing them in a cool, dry place.
