Almonds are only suitable if almond isn’t the substance you need to avoid. Then check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack. Next, choose based on how they’re prepared, their salt content and how much you’ll use during the week: these factors alone don’t tell you whether they’re suitable for a specific exclusion diet.
You want to know which ingredients and warnings matter for the substance you need to avoid. Almonds are themselves a tree nut allergen; the NVWA and Allergie Centra Nederland stress that any assessment should relate to the specific allergen.
You’re looking for almonds without added salt, but don’t want to confuse that preference with suitability for someone with an allergy. Duyvis lists breakfast, snacking and cooking as ways to use its Unsalted Almonds.
You’re matching pack size, usage and storage instructions to your shopping needs. Net weight and storage advice are listed for each product; Deloitte Netherlands identifies price and convenience as broader factors in supermarket choices.
When buying almonds as part of your weekly shop, first consider which substance you need to avoid. Then assess how they’re prepared, their salt content, packaging and intended use separately.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Suitability for your diet | Identify which substance you need to avoid and check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack. | If I need to avoid a specific allergen, I check the label of the variant I want to buy. Around 38% of consumers put suitability for their own diet first. |
| Unsalted snack | Check the variant and its ingredients; assess allergens separately from salt content. | If I snack on almonds regularly but don’t want added salty flavour, I look for the unsalted variant. Around 23% of consumers give unsalted snacking top priority. |
| Weekly supply | Compare the net weight with how much you plan to use, and follow the storage advice on the pack. | If I’m planning supplies for the week, I want to choose a pack that suits what I’ll actually use. Around 23% of consumers prioritise planning supplies and costs. |
| Flavour and use | Choose between a neutral base and a seasoned snack, then check the full ingredients. | If I want to use almonds both as a snack and in recipes, I look at the flavour and uses of the variant. Around 16% of consumers give flavour and versatility top priority. |
Almonds are themselves a tree nut allergen. In September 2026, the NVWA warned about a specific gluten-free speculaas product from Albert Heijn that may not have listed almonds on the label. The warning applied to that product, not to all gluten-free products.
Match your choice to the substance you need to avoid, and check the ingredients, warnings and any product alerts for the exact variant.
Duyvis describes its oven-roasted variant as made without added oil or fat. PLUS also lists 1.1 g of salt per 100 g for its 125 g Duyvis Oven roasted almonds.
Assess preparation method, salt and allergens as separate factors; information about one doesn’t answer questions about the others.
Albert Heijn lists the 4 x 30 g pack of Duyvis Unsalted Almonds as discontinued. That doesn’t mean the entire product range has been discontinued.
Check availability with your retailer for the time your shopping is due to be delivered.

No. Almonds are themselves a tree nut allergen. If you need to avoid almonds, don’t choose an almond product for that person; a claim about another substance doesn’t change this.
No. Peanuts are legumes, and a nut allergy may involve one or more types of nut, according to Allergie Centra Nederland. This distinction doesn’t mean you have personal clearance to eat almonds: have the product assessed for the allergy in question and check the product warnings.
Allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed foods, says the NVWA. Since 1 January 2026, new rules have also applied in the Netherlands on when businesses must warn about the unintended presence of allergens due to cross-contamination; the NVWA monitors compliance.
Follow the advice for the exact variant. Jumbo recommends storing its almonds in a cool, dark place; for Duyvis Oven roasted almonds, PLUS recommends storing them in a cool, dry place and transferring them to a light- and airtight container after opening.
Bear the choking hazard in mind: product information for almonds warns that young children can choke on nuts. This risk is separate from whether a product is suitable for a particular diet or allergy.
