Choose a tray of kano biscuits based on how many people you want to share with and how many portions you want left afterwards. The 325–330 g packs contain more than the 270–275 g trays reviewed, while AH and Jumbo state a specific number of portions. A stated portion count doesn’t mean the biscuits are individually wrapped, so check the packaging if you’re buying them for lunchboxes. If you have an allergy, always read the current label.
For a coffee break, what matters most is how many biscuits are in the tray and how many people will be sharing them. The packs listed by Albert Heijn, Jumbo, PLUS, Lidl Nederland and ALDI Nederland range from 270 g to 330 g.
If you won’t eat them all at once, a stated portion count can help you judge how much you’re getting. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions for AH butter kano biscuits; Jumbo lists five 55 g portions for Jumbo butter kano biscuits.
If you have a relevant allergy, start by checking the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list allergens that need to be assessed for each product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority also explains that allergens are listed in the ingredients list.
First decide how many kano biscuits you want to share or keep for later. Then check whether the stated portions, packaging and ingredients suit the way you plan to use them.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How much you’ll have to share | Compare the net weight with the number of people sharing. The trays reviewed range from 270 g to 330 g. | When I put kano biscuits out with coffee, I want enough for everyone without being left with a larger opened pack than I need. For around 42% of consumers, having enough to share is the top priority. |
| Portions and lunchboxes | Check the number and size of the portions. If you need individually wrapped biscuits for a lunchbox, check the packaging. | When I only need a few portions, I want to be able to work out how many will be left after sharing. That’s why around 33% of consumers prioritise portions they can plan around. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and check the packaging for allergens that are present or may be present. | If I have a relevant allergy, I need to check whether these kano biscuits are suitable before considering the pack size or portions. For around 25% of consumers, checking allergens comes first. |
The six portions listed for AH and five for Jumbo describe the amount in each pack. They don’t mean that each biscuit has its own wrapper.
If you want to put the kano biscuits into lunchboxes individually, check how they’re actually packaged before you buy.
Albert Heijn says that product information can change. So an ingredients list you checked previously is no substitute for the label on the pack you’re using.
If you have a relevant allergy, read the current ingredients list and information about any allergens that may be present before eating the product.

You can’t give one answer for all the kano biscuits listed: Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS provide information about different allergens that may be present. If you have a relevant allergy, read the current ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging before eating the product.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging. Albert Heijn recommends keeping its butter kano biscuits in a sealed tin after opening. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS advise storing their products in a cool, dry place in their product information.
Check the ingredients list on the current packaging, where allergens must be clearly identifiable.
