Which pack is right for you?

A small coffee gathering

For a coffee break or a small get-together, a 275 g tray could be a good fit if you want to avoid leftovers. Jumbo and PLUS both list Kano pastries in this size; work out how many you’ll need for yourself.

Hosting a larger group

If several people will be joining you, a stated pack count can help you plan. ALDI lists a 650 g pack of Heerlijck Banket with 14 pastries.

Checking ingredients or allergens

If you’re buying for someone who needs to know what’s in the product, read the label on the pack you’re actually taking home. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for prepacked foods must appear on the label.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how many people you want to treat. Then see which pack fits into your shopping trip, and finally check the label.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity Compare the net weight and, if stated, the number of pastries. Jumbo and PLUS list 275 g packs; ALDI also lists 650 g with 14 pastries. For a coffee break, I want to buy enough Kano pastries without having lots left over. A suitable quantity is the top priority for around 40% of consumers.
Shopping trip and leftovers See which size you can pick up on your planned shopping trip and whether you’re likely to use the whole pack. If I’m already going past a shop, I don’t want to make an extra stop for a different pack or be left with uneaten Kano pastries. This practical consideration matters most to around 30% of consumers.
Label Check the ingredients, allergen information and best-before date on the pack you choose. Albert Heijn warns that online product information may change. If I’m buying for someone with an allergy, I need to be able to check the ingredients on the current pack. Around 30% of consumers give this check top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Looking only for a ‘sharing bag’

    The name doesn’t tell you how many Kano pastries are in a pack. Supermarket listings usually give the size in grams and sometimes state the number of pastries.

    Use the net weight and the stated number of pastries to work out whether the pack is right for your group.

  • Relying on a product page alone to check for allergens

    Albert Heijn warns that ingredients and allergen information online may change. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for prepacked foods must appear on the label.

    Read the label on the pack you actually buy before serving the Kano pastries to anyone who needs to know about allergens.
