When choosing almonds to enjoy with your coffee, start by checking the specific substance you need to avoid against the ingredients and allergen warnings for the variety you’ve chosen. Almonds are an allergen in their own right, so a gluten-free or lactose-free label does not mean a product is free from all allergens. If almonds fit your diet, you can then consider the salt, oil and preparation, as well as how easy the pack is to carry and reseal.
You’re looking for almonds to enjoy with your coffee, but first want to know whether a specific label suits what you need to avoid. Check the ingredients and warnings on the pack too. For example, Albert Heijn’s product page labels its unsalted variety as both gluten-free and lactose-free, while also listing almonds and warnings for other nuts.
You’re comparing unroasted and roasted varieties and want to know whether oil or a seasoning mix has been added alongside the almonds. Product information from PLUS, Jumbo and Duyvis shows why it’s worth checking the ingredients for each variety.
You take almonds with you for several coffee breaks and want to be able to reseal the pack after use or set aside a portion yourself. ALDI describes its Trader Joe’s unroasted almonds as coming in a resealable pack; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a dry, tightly sealed container.
First, check that the almonds suit your diet. Then compare the ingredients and how practical the packaging is for taking with you.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Dietary suitability | Check the specific label, ingredients and relevant warnings on the pack. | I want to know whether the product suits my dietary needs; a general free-from label isn’t enough. Around 50% of consumers make dietary suitability their top priority. |
| Ingredients and salt | Check whether oil or a seasoning mix has been added, and compare the salt information per 100 g. | If you’re looking for a simple snack with no added salt, don’t rely on the name alone. Around 30% of consumers prioritise a simple, unsalted product. |
| Portions and packaging | Check the net weight, any portion information and whether the pack can be resealed. | If I want to get several coffee breaks out of one pack, portioning the almonds and sealing the pack securely are useful. Around 20% of consumers prioritise convenience when taking snacks with them. |
A product may be labelled gluten-free or lactose-free and still contain almonds or carry warnings about peanuts and other nuts.
Read each label separately and check that it relates to the substance you need to avoid.
According to their product information, Jumbo and Duyvis unsalted almonds contain sunflower oil.
If you want to avoid oil, check the ingredients list rather than relying on the product name alone.
A seasoned variety has different ingredients from an unseasoned one. Duyvis Almonds Original lists salt in its seasoning mix and, according to the manufacturer, may contain wheat.
Check the ingredients, salt content and allergen warnings for each flavour and pack separately.
The varieties mentioned have different ingredients: Unsalted Almonds are unsalted, while Almonds Original has a savoury seasoning mix.

No. Almonds are an allergen in their own right. A gluten-free or lactose-free label does not make an almond product nut-free or free from all allergens. Check the ingredients and warnings against your specific dietary needs.
No. Lactose intolerance affects the body’s ability to digest milk sugar, while a milk allergy is a reaction to milk proteins. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre explains the difference. If you have a milk allergy, check the ingredients and relevant allergen information, rather than relying on the term lactose-free alone.
It warns that a substance may be present unintentionally because of cross-contamination; it is not the same as listing it as an ingredient. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, rules for these warnings based on a risk assessment have applied since 1 January 2026. The NVWA lists ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’ among the permitted wordings.
