If you want to prepare your own portion in advance, you can divide almonds from a larger pack yourself. If you’d rather help yourself to more during the evening, look for packaging that is explicitly described as resealable. A larger or resealable bag isn’t automatically an individually wrapped snack pack, so check how much is in each separate bag. Choose unsalted if that suits your preferences, and always check the current label if any guests have a food allergy.
You want to prepare your own amount in advance or reseal the pack after snacking. A larger bag means portioning it yourself; resealable packaging doesn’t automatically mean the contents are individually portioned. ALDI lists resealable packaging for the Trader Joe’s roasted, unsalted almonds reviewed.
Start by checking whether the almonds are unsalted, then choose between options such as raw or roasted. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in the Wheel of Five; the ALDI and PLUS product ranges reviewed differ in how they’re prepared.
You want to weigh up flavours and packaging, while also taking food allergies into account. Almonds are a tree nut allergen, so check the ingredients and relevant allergen information on the packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) explains the information requirements for prepacked products.
First decide whether you need a portion prepared in advance or would rather take some from a bag you can reseal after use. Then check how the almonds are prepared, their salt content and the allergen information.
For consumers choosing almonds for a games night, the decision depends on how much they want to take with them, their product preferences and any allergies.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and packaging | Check the weight of each individual bag and whether the packaging is genuinely resealable. | I want to take something with me that I can portion in advance or reseal after snacking. This is the top priority for around 31% of consumers who value convenience when taking snacks with them. |
| Choosing unsalted | Check whether the exact variety is unsalted; roasted doesn’t automatically mean salted. | If unsalted is my main priority, I look for that on the label first, then choose how the almonds are prepared. Around 25% of consumers make unsalted their top priority. |
| Amount for the group | Compare the net weight with the amount you want to serve, and allow for portioning it yourself. | I want to prepare enough for the group and prefer to decide on the portions myself. This is the top priority for around 19% of consumers. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Read the variety and ingredients; a savoury description doesn’t tell you the salt content on its own. | If the preparation method and savoury flavour are what matter most to me, I check the exact variety. Around 13% of consumers make flavour their top priority. |
| Allergen information | Read the ingredients and any warnings on the packaging of the product you’re buying. | I want to know whether the contents are suitable for a relevant allergy that I or a guest has; the packaging and flavour don’t change the ingredients. Allergen information comes first for around 12% of consumers. |
The pack size or the name ‘4-pack’ doesn’t tell you how much is in each individual bag, or mean that the contents are automatically portion-sized.
Check the weight of each individual pack before deciding whether the portions are suitable to take with you.
Portioning the almonds yourself takes preparation and may mean you’ll need your own container or bag.
Almonds remain an ingredient containing a tree nut allergen, even if you portion them into smaller bags yourself.
If someone needs to avoid almonds, don’t choose a different variety of almonds as a substitute. If you portion them yourself, keep the original ingredients and allergen information.

For prepacked products, allergen information appears on the label; the NVWA explains that sellers must provide information about allergens specified by law. Almonds are a tree nut allergen. Since 1 January 2026, the NVWA has overseen rules for precautionary allergen warnings, which are based on a risk assessment. The NVWA guidance includes the phrases ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’. If you have a relevant allergy, read both the ingredients and any warnings.
