A late-night snack for yourself
You want to decide how many almonds to have and need a pack that’s suitable for repeated use. Check the bag size and follow the storage advice on the label.
Which pack is right for you?
Sharing on different occasions
You want to split the bags between people or snack times. Check whether the multipack contains standard bags or individual small portion packs.
Packing your own lunchbox
You want to measure out a portion at home to take with you. A resealable bag means portioning it yourself; factory-packed portions are a different type of packaging.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you need individual bags, want to portion the almonds yourself or would prefer a small portion to take with you. Then check the variety and the amount in each pack.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags for sharing | Check the number of bags, the weight of each bag and whether they all contain the same variety. | If I want to open a fresh bag on different occasions or share with others, I look at the number of individual bags. Around 31% of consumers say splitting the product into separate bags is their main consideration. |
| Convenience for a lunchbox | Choose between portioning it yourself and a factory-packed portion; if it’s a mix, check the ingredients. | If I want to take something with me without weighing it out at home, I check whether the pack contains a portion and whether the ingredients suit my preferences. Around 31% of consumers prioritise convenience when taking food with them. |
| Quantity and unsalted varieties | Compare the pack size with the amount you want to eat; the weight of a bag isn’t a portion recommendation. Check that the variety is explicitly labelled unsalted. | If I want to decide my own snack portion and am looking for an unsalted variety, I check both the pack size and the product variety. Around 23% of consumers prioritise this consideration. |
| Flavour and preparation | Read the preparation method and salt information separately. Duyvis describes Almonds Original as roasted without added oil or fat; that alone doesn’t tell you whether the variety is unsalted. | If I’m looking for a particular flavour or preparation method, I check the exact variety rather than relying on the brand name alone. Around 15% of consumers look at this first. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a nut mix for a multipack of almonds
A multipack’s product name doesn’t always tell you how many almonds it contains. bol lists Duyvis Oven Roasted Tree Nuts as containing 24% almonds, alongside cashews and peanuts.
Read the ingredients list and choose a nut mix only if that’s the combination you want.
-
Mistaking several bags for single portions
A historical Foodello offer consisted of four standard 125 g bags. A Joybuy product page for a single 125 g bag lists four to five portions, so one bag doesn’t necessarily equal an individual snack portion.
Check both the number of bags and the weight of each one, then decide how much you want to serve.
-
Assuming an old multipack is still available
The historical Foodello offer was listed as out of stock and gave a best-before date of 27 September 2025. This doesn’t indicate that it’s currently available.
For a pack that’s currently on sale, check availability and the shelf-life information.
A larger multipack could leave you with unused stock if you don’t take the best-before date into account.
-
Assuming no added oil means unsalted
Duyvis describes Almonds Original as roasted without added oil or fat. This description doesn’t confirm that the almonds are unsalted.
If you want unsalted almonds, look for the exact variety and read the current label.

Frequently asked questions
How should I store almonds between snack times?
Follow the storage advice on the packaging for your variety. For its 140 g Unsalted Almonds, Jumbo advises storing them in a cool, dry place away from light. If the pack is resealable, follow the product-specific advice.
Do allergens have to be listed on almond packaging in the Netherlands?
Yes. Allergen information must be shown on the label of prepacked products. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, nuts are among the allergens that must be listed. If you’re sharing, check the information about other allergens too.
What rules apply to cross-contamination warnings?
Since 1 January 2026, new Dutch rules have applied, according to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, on when and how food businesses warn about allergen cross-contamination on labels. These rules concern warnings about unintended presence and don’t replace the requirement to list allergens present as ingredients.
What should I do if the product information or delivery is incorrect?
Keep the packaging and order details, then raise the issue with the seller. Albert Heijn directs customers with questions about its product information to its customer service team. For information about consumer rights, you can consult ACM ConsuWijzer.
