Choose almonds based on the vegan information for the exact variety and what’s actually in the pack; the word ‘multipack’ doesn’t tell you how many individual portions you’ll get. For a lunchbox, the number of sachets and the weight of each one matter most. When sharing, think about the total quantity and how to store it in line with how quickly you’ll use it. A vegan label doesn’t replace checking the ingredients and allergens.
You want to check vegan information for the specific product, as well as assess the ingredients and allergens. PLUS labels one particular Duyvis variety as vegan; the European Union treats allergen information as separate information on the label.
You’re looking for a pack that lets you take a suitable amount with you. Check whether it contains individual sachets or whether you’ll need to portion out a larger bag yourself. For children aged 4 and under, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter or peanut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole almonds.
You want a supply that suits how much you use at home and the storage instructions. Product pages list both 6-packs and individual bags; Jumbo advises storing its 140 g unsalted almonds in a cool, dry place.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Vegan information and allergens | Check the vegan label for the exact variety and read the ingredients and allergen information separately. The European Union explains the rules for allergens on food labels. | If you shop vegan, you’ll want to assess the ingredients of the exact variety and check allergens separately; around 29% of consumers make this their top priority. |
| Individual portions for when you’re out and about | Check how many individual sachets there are and the weight of each one. A portion-size statement doesn’t mean there are that many individually wrapped packs. | For a lunchbox, you’ll want to know whether you can take a separate sachet straight away or need to portion it out yourself; around 29% of consumers prioritise this convenient format. |
| Stock, quantity and storage | Compare the total net weight and check the storage instructions for the variety. Jumbo advises storing its 140 g unsalted almonds in a cool, dry place. | When sharing regularly, you’ll want to choose a quantity that suits how much you use at home and how you store the pack; around 24% of consumers prioritise a practical supply and cost. |
| Unsalted variety | Check that the exact variety is unsalted and read the salt information on the label. Unroasted doesn’t automatically mean unsalted. | If you use almonds regularly, you’ll want to choose the preparation method carefully as well as the pack size; around 18% of consumers prioritise unsalted products. |
A product may list several portions per bag without those portions being individually wrapped. The Joybuy product page for Duyvis Oven Roasted Almonds 125 g lists 4–5 portions per bag.
Check how many physical packs there are and the net weight of each one. If you portion it out yourself, it takes extra time and you may need your own container to take it with you.
Vegan and allergen information answer different questions. Warnings about possible cross-contamination also need to be assessed separately.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variety, even if it is labelled vegan. The NVWA says that, from 1 January 2026, inspections will check that prepacked products carry the correct warnings about allergen cross-contamination.
Whole nuts can pose a choking risk. For children aged 4 and under, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends only nut butter or peanut butter with no added sugar or salt.
Choose a product format that’s suitable for the child’s age. Older children should eat nuts while sitting down and taking their time.
The number of packs doesn’t tell you how many almonds you’ll receive in total. Without the net weight, you can’t compare packs on a like-for-like basis.
Check the total net weight, compare the same product variety and consider how much you’ll use and the storage instructions. This helps you avoid buying more than you need for the quantity you’re after.
