When choosing an almond multipack, first check how many separate packs it contains and the weight of each one: a multipack doesn’t automatically mean a set of small snack bags. An unsalted option may work for lunchboxes if you measure out the portions yourself. Bear in mind who’ll be eating them: for children under 4, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter rather than whole nuts, and almonds are an allergen.
You want to know how many individual packs you’ll get and whether you’ll need to divide the contents into smaller portions yourself. Albert Heijn multipacks contain separate standard-size products, not small snack bags.
You’re looking for almonds to enjoy on several occasions and want to store any leftovers properly. Whole nuts aren’t suitable as a snack for children under 4; also check whether almonds are suitable for the person who’ll be eating them.
You’re sharing with a group and want to take age and allergies into account before choosing a snack. Almonds are tree nut allergens, so check the product information and, if necessary, have a suitable alternative set aside.
First, decide whether you need individual portions or want to divide standard-size packs yourself. Albert Heijn lists three separate products in the multipacks reviewed: 3 × 190 g or 3 × 450 g. A serving size shown on a product page doesn’t mean the portions are individually wrapped.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging and sharing | Check the number of products, the weight of each one and whether portions are individually wrapped. | If I want to hand out small amounts during an Easter egg hunt, I need to know whether I’ll have to measure them out myself. Around 28% of consumers focus mainly on dividing the contents between packs. |
| Age and allergies | Read the allergen information and warnings on the packaging. Don’t give whole nuts to children under 4. | If there are young children or people with allergies, I want to check in advance whether almonds are suitable. Around 28% of consumers prioritise suitability for the people taking part. |
| Ingredients and preparation | Read the ingredients and salt information; unroasted, roasted and made without added oil don’t mean the same thing. | For lunchboxes, I want to know what else is in the pack besides almonds and whether the variety is unsalted. Around 17% of consumers focus mainly on ingredients and choosing an unsalted option. |
| Quantity and use | Estimate how much you need and compare the total weight with how much you expect to use. | If I’m buying for a single event, I don’t want to be left with more than I’ll use later. Around 16% of consumers focus mainly on the quantity they need. |
| Storage after opening | Check the storage instructions and whether you can seal the pack securely after use. | If I’m dividing the contents between several lunchboxes, I want to be able to store the rest as directed on the packaging. Around 11% of consumers prioritise storage and using the product on several occasions. |
The Albert Heijn multipacks reviewed contain standard-size products. A stated serving size doesn’t tell you how many individually wrapped snacks you’ll receive.
Check the number of products and the weight of each one. If you want to hand out small portions, expect to measure them out yourself.
Dividing the contents yourself takes extra time and may mean you need separate portion packs.
For children under 4, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole nuts. Almonds are also an allergen.
Consider people’s ages and allergies before buying for a group. Roasting an almond doesn’t make it suitable for someone with an almond allergy.
Some people may need a separate, suitable treat.
The manufacturer describes Duyvis Almonds Original as roasted without added oil or fat. That description of how it’s prepared says nothing about its salt content.
Read the ingredients and salt information alongside the preparation details.
A bundle containing several standard-size packs is only practical if you can use the contents on different occasions.
Decide in advance how much you want to hand out and use later. Seal opened packs according to the storage instructions.
Buying a larger quantity can leave you with unused leftovers and extra storage to think about.

Not with the Albert Heijn multipacks reviewed. They’re sold as three separate standard-size products, with either 190 g or 450 g in each one. So check the weight per pack, not just the number of products.
No. The 25 g is product information for the variety reviewed, not a universal portion size for children. For children under 4, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole nuts.
Check the ingredients list and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens. Almonds are tree nut allergens. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) states that allergens must be declared on food labels. From 1 January 2026, new rules apply in the Netherlands to warnings about unintended allergen presence. Labelling doesn’t guarantee that a product is suitable for everyone.
No. The Food Allergy Foundation states that allergens remain stable when heated, so roasting isn’t a solution for an almond allergy.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack and seal it securely after use. The AH varieties reviewed should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container.
