Who are these Kano's for?

Organising a small gaming session

You want to know in advance how many servings you can put out. Albert Heijn lists six servings for its 270 g pack, while Jumbo lists five for its 275 g pack.

Organising a bigger gaming night

You’re looking for a larger pack or working out whether you’ll need more than one. Lidl sells a 325 g pack of Sondey Kano's, but doesn’t state the number of servings.

Shopping for a group with food allergies

You check the ingredients and allergen warnings on the exact pack you’ll be serving. The varieties mentioned from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list several allergens.

What should you look for when choosing?

First work out how many servings you need, then check the label and availability of the variety you’ve chosen.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Number of servings Compare the stated number of servings with the size of your group; don’t just look at the net weight. I want to be able to set out a serving for every player without running short during the game. For around 42% of consumers, the number of servings comes first.
Allergens Read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the pack of the variety you’ve chosen. If someone in the group has a food allergy, I want to know whether they can eat the biscuit before I serve it. Allergens are the main concern for around 33% of consumers.
Availability Check whether the variety is available at your chosen shop and whether you’ll need to buy it in store. If I’m picking up snacks shortly before the gaming night, I need to be able to get the pack in time. That’s why availability comes first for around 25% of consumers.

Pitfalls when sharing Kano's

  • Assuming a pack is a resealable sharing bag

    The Kano's mentioned here come in packs or trays and are large, filled biscuits. The weight alone won’t tell you how many servings you can share out.

    Use the stated number of servings to plan, and buy more than one pack if needed for a larger group.

  • Choosing only by the highest net weight

    The 325 g Sondey pack is larger than the packs from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS mentioned here, but Lidl doesn’t state the number of servings and sells it only in store.

    Compare the stated servings too, and check that the shop has the variety in stock when you want to buy it.

  • Assuming all Kano's have the same ingredients

    The varieties from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list ingredients including wheat, milk, egg, soya and almond; ingredients and warnings can vary between varieties.

    Read the label on the pack you’ve bought before serving, especially if someone in the group has a relevant allergy.

  • Using an old product page to check availability

    Jumbo says that Mini Kano's 220 g and Aviateur Gevulde Kano's 325 g are no longer available online.

    Check the current availability of the variety you want to buy.

Frequently asked questions about Kano's

Are Kano's available in resealable sharing bags?

The Kano's mentioned here from Albert Heijn, Jumbo, PLUS and Sondey at Lidl come in packs or trays, not snack bags described as sharing bags. For a gaming night, choose based on the stated number of servings and the pack weight.

How many players will one pack of Kano's serve?

It depends on the serving size you want and the variety: Albert Heijn lists six 45 g servings, while Jumbo lists five 55 g servings. Lidl doesn’t state the number of servings in its 325 g Sondey pack, so don’t use the weight alone to work out how many players it will serve.

Can I serve Kano's if someone has a food allergy?

First check the label on the exact pack, and don’t serve the biscuit to anyone for whom a listed allergen is relevant. The varieties mentioned from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list ingredients including wheat, milk, egg, soya and almond; warnings for other allergens may also vary between varieties.

How should I store an opened pack of Kano's after gaming night?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack of your chosen variety. Albert Heijn recommends keeping its Roomboter kano's in a cool, dry place and putting them in a sealed tin after opening; Jumbo recommends storing its Kano's met Roomboter somewhere cool, dry and dark.
