When choosing Kano's for a Christmas coffee gathering or several lunchboxes, go by the stated number of biscuits or servings, not just the pack weight. Jumbo lists five servings per 275 g pack; for the 330 g ALDI and 325 g Lidl packs sold in store, check the number of biscuits on the pack. Before buying, also read the label on the variant you’ve chosen if allergens or storage advice are important to you.
For a small group, you’ll want to know how many biscuits you can serve. A stated number of biscuits or servings is more helpful than the pack weight alone. For a 325 g or 330 g pack, check the number on the label.
If you want to divide a pack between individual lunchboxes, a stated number of biscuits or servings helps you plan ahead. Also check how to store the pack after opening.
If you’re buying for someone with a food allergy, read the allergen information for the exact variant you’re taking home. The Kano's variants described here list ingredients including wheat, milk, soya, egg and almond; the ingredients aren’t the same in every pack.
First decide whether you mainly want biscuits to share, need to plan for individual lunchboxes, or want to buy a pack through your usual retailer. Then check the label on the variant you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How many for Christmas coffee | Compare the number of guests with the number of biscuits or servings in the pack. Don’t estimate the number from the weight. | For my Christmas coffee gathering, I want to know in advance whether there’ll be a biscuit for everyone. Around 40% of consumers prioritise the number of biscuits they can share. |
| Dividing them between lunchboxes | Check the number of biscuits or servings, as well as the storage advice for after opening. | When I’m buying for several lunchboxes, I want to be able to divide the biscuits up in advance. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Availability | Check whether the variant you’ve chosen is available from your retailer or for your delivery slot.

For around 30% of consumers, availability is the main consideration. |
A 325 g or 330 g pack doesn’t tell you how many individual biscuits you can serve. That number can make all the difference when you’re hosting at Christmas or packing several lunchboxes.
Plan using the stated number of biscuits or servings, or check the number on the pack in store.
Albert Heijn lists AH BASIC Kano's as discontinued. Jumbo says Aviateur Gevulde Kano's is no longer in its online range. The quantities shown on those pages don’t mean the products are still available to order.
Check that the exact variant is currently available before adding it to your shopping list.
The ingredients and allergens listed vary between Kano's variants. So information from a pack you bought previously is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you’re choosing now.
If you have a food allergy, check the allergen information on the current pack every time.
Jumbo Kano's met Roomboter is listed as a 275 g pack containing five servings.

Don’t assume you can based on the product pages described here. Albert Heijn lists the six-piece AH BASIC Kano's as discontinued, and Jumbo says the seven-piece Aviateur Gevulde Kano's is no longer in its online range. Check separately for any local availability.
Before choosing Kano's, read the allergen information on the exact, current pack. Allergens vary between variants, so information about a different pack isn’t enough.
Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve bought. For the AH BASIC variant, Albert Heijn recommended storing it in a sealed tin after opening; don’t assume that advice applies to other variants.
