Who should consider their choice of pack size?

Festival groups with changing appetites

If you’re not yet sure how many people will be eating, several unopened packs let you spread your supplies across different snack breaks. Check the net weight per pack and what else the group is bringing.

Campers without reliable refrigeration

Choose a pack with a best-before date and storage instructions that suit your stay. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends choosing products with a longer shelf life when camping; follow the instructions on the pack to store these Kano's.

Buyers who need to check allergens

If someone in your group needs to avoid certain ingredients, read the label on every pack before buying and eating them. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. Albert Heijn notes that product information can change.

What should you look for when choosing?

Work out how many packs your group is likely to get through, then check the storage instructions and ingredients on the pack you’re buying.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity for the group Compare the net weight per pack with the number of people eating and the planned snack breaks. Lidl Netherlands lists Sondey Kano's at 325 g; ALDI Netherlands lists Heerlijck Banket Kano's at 330 g. If I don’t know how many people will be eating, I don’t want to have to open every pack straight away. For around 44% of consumers, the quantity per pack is the most important factor.
Shelf life and transport Check the best-before date and storage instructions on the pack; keep it intact and dry during transport. Without a proper kitchen, I want supplies that suit the length of my trip and the storage instructions. Transport and shelf life are top priorities for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings on each current pack. If someone in my group needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to check the label before sharing the biscuits. For around 23% of consumers, checking allergens is their top priority when buying.

Common buying mistakes

  • Mistaking a standard pack for a family pack

    The Sondey pack listed by Lidl Netherlands contains 325 g, while the Heerlijck Banket pack listed by ALDI Netherlands contains 330 g. On its own, that tells you nothing about the size of another pack sold as a family pack.

    Compare the net weight on the specific packs and think about how many unopened packs you’ll need during the festival.

  • Relying on an old ingredients list

    Albert Heijn warns that ingredients and allergen information can change. This matters if someone in your group needs to avoid certain ingredients.

    Check the label on every pack you’re taking before sharing the biscuits.

  • Assuming you can pick up the packs just before you leave

    Lidl Netherlands lists Sondey Kano's as a product available in store only. A product page you looked at earlier won’t tell you what’s on the shelf when you visit.

    Check stock shortly before you leave if Kano's are an essential part of your festival supplies.

Frequently asked questions

When is a family pack of Kano's a good choice for a festival group?

A family pack is only a good choice if the net weight is right for what your group can eat and the information on the pack meets your storage and allergen requirements. If you’re not sure how many people will be eating, you can also compare several standard packs and open them one at a time for each snack break.

Do Kano's need to be kept in a cool box at a festival campsite?

Follow the storage advice on the pack you’re taking; don’t go by the product name alone. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends choosing products with a longer shelf life for camping and keeping highly perishable products chilled.
