Who is this for?

Parents planning to share six portions

If you’re packing for several children or lunchboxes, knowing the number of portions can help you plan. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions per pack of AH Roomboter kano's.

Families planning five snack breaks

If you want to share five portions, Jumbo lists five 55 g portions per pack of Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter. Check whether that portion size suits how you plan to use them.

Parents taking allergies and school rules into account

If you’re sharing biscuits in a classroom or at an after-school club, check the allergens in the variant you’ve chosen and find out whether there are any rules about treats. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises asking about allergies in advance.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how many portions you want to share and check whether the portion size is right. Then read the label and check the rules for where the children will eat the biscuits.

What to consider What to check before buying Who should consider this?
Portions to share Compare the stated number of portions and check how to store the pack once opened. If you want to share something between six children or lunchboxes, it helps to know in advance how many portions are in the pack; around 42% of consumers say this is their top priority.
Portion size Compare the number of grams per portion and the nutritional information per portion. For five planned snack breaks, one set portion each time can be handy, as long as the size is right. Portion size is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers.
Allergens and rules Read the allergen information, including warnings about possible traces of other allergens, and check the rules at school or the after-school club. If children are eating together in a group, you’ll want to know whether the biscuit you’ve chosen is suitable for them and for the occasion; this is the main consideration for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming several portions means individually wrapped biscuits

    A stated portion count doesn’t tell you whether you can take each biscuit with you separately. That matters if you’re dividing the pack between several days or lunchboxes.

    Check the packaging if individual wrappers are important. Albert Heijn advises storing AH Roomboter kano's in a sealed tin after opening.

  • Looking only at the number of portions

    The AH and Jumbo variants list several allergens. A suitable number of biscuits doesn’t automatically mean a variant is suitable for every child in the group.

    Ask about allergies in advance and read the current label for the exact variant you’re buying, including warnings about possible traces of other allergens.

  • Relying on an old product listing when shopping

    Jumbo lists Aviateur Gevulde Kano's 7 stuks and Jumbo Roomboter Mini Kano's 220 g as products that are no longer in its online range.

    Just before you shop, check the current listing for the pack size you want to buy.

  • Mistaking a ready-to-eat biscuit for a baking product

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe their Kano's as ready-to-eat biscuits. Choosing a pack to share after an activity with children is different from choosing a product to bake together.

    If you actually want to bake together, choose a recipe and the ingredients it calls for. For a treat, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises offering a small portion and checking about allergies in advance.
