What should you look for in an almond multipack?
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 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. |

Frequently asked questions
Does a 3-pack mean I’ll receive three small snack bags?
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.
Is a stated 25 g portion automatically suitable for every child?
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.
What allergen information should I check on the packaging?
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.
Does roasting make almonds suitable for someone with an almond allergy?
No. The Food Allergy Foundation states that allergens remain stable when heated, so roasting isn’t a solution for an almond allergy.
How should I store opened almonds for future lunchboxes?
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.
