If you can prepare your own, choose an unsalted variety and weigh out a portion in advance into a well-sealed container. For example, Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 25 grams for its unsalted almonds. If you’d prefer a savoury snack, compare the ingredients and salt content of the specific variety: a 125 to 200 gram pack doesn’t automatically count as one snack portion.
Would you like to prepare a portion in advance, so you don’t have to measure it out from a larger pack while you’re out? Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 25 grams for its unsalted almonds; weigh out an amount that suits your lunch.
If you’re looking for unsalted almonds, check whether oil has been added too. Albert Heijn lists almond as the only ingredient in its unsalted variety, while Jumbo also lists sunflower oil in its unsalted almonds.
If you’d like to take a seasoned variety with you, check the ingredients and salt content of that specific flavour. Albert Heijn’s product page lists an average serving of 30 grams and 1.1 grams of salt per 100 grams for Duyvis Oven roasted almonds.
First decide whether you can portion the almonds yourself or would rather take a larger pack with you. Then check the ingredients and flavour, and consider how you’ll store the rest.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking one portion | Check the serving size and number of servings; the total pack weight isn’t the same as one portion. | If you want to take one measured snack with you without portioning it on the go, convenience is your main consideration. Around 33% of consumers put this need first. |
| Ingredients and salt | Read the ingredients list and compare the salt per 100 grams in the exact variety. | Would you like unsalted almonds and want to know whether they also contain oil? Around 27% of consumers give the ingredients and choosing unsalted the highest priority. |
| Storing the rest | Check whether the pack is resealable and follow the storage advice. | If you use the pack more than once, you’ll want to seal it properly after weighing out a portion. Around 20% of consumers look at this first. |
| Pack size | Choose a pack size that suits how often you take almonds with you and how much you want to weigh out yourself. | Do you take almonds with you regularly and want to choose a pack size to match? Around 13% of consumers start by looking for a suitable pack size. |
| Flavour and preparation | Check whether the almonds are unroasted, roasted or seasoned, and look at the ingredients for that variety. | If savoury flavour is the deciding factor for you, check the specific seasoning and salt content. Around 7% of consumers make flavour their top priority. |
Albert Heijn’s product page lists four to five servings per bag of Duyvis Oven roasted almonds, with an average serving of 30 grams.

According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. Nuts are among the 14 allergens that must be declared; EU guidance says allergens present must be emphasised in the ingredients list.
Since 1 January 2026, new precautionary allergen labelling rules have applied in the Netherlands. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority gives examples of wording such as ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’; any such warning must be based on a risk assessment. It refers to possible cross-contamination, not almonds used as an ingredient.
