Who are these options for?

If you want Kano's just for yourself

For a coffee, tea or Christmas film break on your own, look for a small pack, but don't assume that the biscuits are individually wrapped.

If you're looking for something to serve with coffee to a small group

The stated number of portions can help you decide whether a pack is right for the number of people you're shopping for.

If you need to check ingredients and allergens

Compare the ingredients and any warnings on the exact pack before choosing a variant.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start with how much you need for your Christmas get-together. Then check the portions and, if relevant, the ingredients on the exact pack.

What to consider What to check Who it's important for
Small pack Check the net weight and whether individual wrapping is explicitly stated. If I only want a biscuit with my coffee, I don't want to buy more than I can use. For around 50% of consumers, a small overall pack would be the top priority.
Number of portions Check how many portions the manufacturer states and how big they are; Jumbo lists five 55 g portions for its 275 g pack. When I'm having people over for coffee, I want to know how many I can serve. For around 33% of consumers, the number of portions would come first.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements on the pack you buy. If I'm shopping for someone with an allergy, the exact variant needs to be suitable for them. For around 17% of consumers, this check would be the top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a small pack contains just one biscuit

    PLUS lists Aviateur Kano's Per Wikkel at 230 g. The product name doesn't say whether each biscuit has its own wrapper.

    Check the number of biscuits and look for explicit confirmation on the packaging that they are individually wrapped.

  • Guessing allergens from the product name

    The ingredients listed vary by variant. Jumbo lists almonds, egg, gluten, milk and soya among the ingredients in its Kano's; for Aviateur, PLUS lists wheat, soya, milk and almonds, among other ingredients.

    Just before eating, check the label on the pack you've actually bought, including any ‘may contain’ warnings.

  • Assuming a product page guarantees Christmas stock

    Lidl says Sondey Kano's are sold in store. ALDI points out that items may sell out quickly when demand is high, while Albert Heijn says the AH variant shown has been discontinued.

    Check whether your chosen variant is available at your local shop shortly before you go shopping.
