One portion to take with you
You want to take a measured amount with you without treating a multi-portion pack as a single snack. Check the weight per portion and make sure there really are individual inner bags.
Who are these options for?
Vegan label readers
You want to check the ingredients and vegan information for the exact variant you’re buying. A vegan label doesn’t replace allergen information.
Snackers who portion their own
You’re happy to weigh out an amount at home and seal the pack properly afterwards. The preparation method, your salt preference and storage requirements can all help you decide.
What should you look for in almonds for on-the-go snacking?
First decide whether you need individual bags or can weigh out a portion at home. Then consider vegan information, the preparation method and how you’ll store the rest of the pack.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking one portion with you | Check the weight per portion and the number of actual inner bags. | If I don’t want to weigh out a portion while I’m out, I look for individual bags rather than just a portion size on the label. Around 36% of consumers prioritise portioning convenience. |
| Vegan suitability | Check the ingredients and any vegan labelling on the exact variant. | If I want to know exactly what’s in my snack, I check the product information for that variant. Around 29% of consumers prioritise vegan suitability. |
| Unsalted or savoury | Read the ingredients and check the salt content; the preparation method and whether salt has been added are separate considerations. | If I’m looking for almonds with no added salt, I check this separately from whether they’re unroasted or roasted. Around 21% of consumers prioritise unsalted snacks. |
| Stocking up and storage | Compare the net weight with the portion you want to take with you, and check how to store the pack once opened. | If I want to get several snacks out of one pack, I’m happy to portion it myself and seal it properly. Around 14% of consumers prioritise stocking up and portioning their own snacks. |
Common pitfalls
-
Treating a multi-portion pack as one snack
Net weight and portion size aren’t the same. AH lists a 25 g portion for its 190 g pack of unsalted almonds; AH describes Duyvis Oven roasted almonds, 125 g, as containing four to five portions.
Check both the pack weight and the stated portion size, and weigh out an amount at home if you like.
-
Confusing ‘no added oil’ with ‘unsalted’
According to AH, the savoury Duyvis Oven roasted variant contains added salt, even though it’s described as prepared without added oil.
Check the ingredients and salt information separately from the description of how the almonds are prepared.
-
Assuming vegan means allergen-free
A vegan label isn’t an allergen declaration. The products discussed here are almonds; always check the allergen information on the exact pack as well.
Check vegan information and allergen warnings separately.
Relevant brands and product ranges
Duyvis
Duyvis describes Unsalted Almonds as a 125 g pack containing almonds and sunflower oil. The savoury Oven roasted variant is a different product range and shouldn’t be confused with the unsalted variant.
- The two ranges offer a choice between unsalted almonds and a savoury variant.
- AH lists added salt in the savoury Oven roasted variant. This doesn’t automatically apply to other Duyvis almonds.
Albert Heijn
AH Unsalted Almonds are a roasted variant in a 190 g pack. The product page states that they’re vegan, lists almonds as the only ingredient and gives a portion size of 25 g.
- The ingredient and portion-size information can be useful if you want to weigh out your own portions at home.
- According to AH, the 4-pack contains four individual 190 g products, not four confirmed snack bags. This applies to these products, not the entire nut range.
Jumbo
Jumbo Unsalted Almonds 140 g come in a multi-portion pack. The ingredients list states 99% almonds and sunflower oil.
- The ingredients list and nutritional information per portion can help you assess this variant.
- The ingredients aren’t proof of vegan certification; check the information on the pack.
Lidl
Lidl’s product page lists unsalted almonds as a product category.
- The unsalted description makes this product range worth considering if you’re watching your salt intake.
- Check the exact pack for ingredients, vegan information and whether it contains individual portions.
ALDI
ALDI’s product page describes unroasted Trader Joe's almonds in a resealable 200 g pack.

- Check the pack itself for vegan information and to see whether it actually contains individual portion bags.

Frequently asked questions
Does a 4-pack mean I get four individual snack portions?
No, not in the AH 4-pack covered here: Albert Heijn states that it contains four individual 190 g products. Check the weight of each product and whether the pack actually contains separate bags.
How do I measure out a portion to take with me?
Weigh out the amount you want to take with you at home, then seal the pack properly. For the unsalted almonds covered here, Albert Heijn gives a portion size of 25 g; this applies to that variant and isn’t a universal portion size. Also follow the storage instructions on the pack.
How should I store an opened pack of almonds?
Follow the advice for the exact variant and seal the pack properly after use. Albert Heijn advises storing its unsalted almonds in a cool, dark, dry place; for the opened Duyvis Oven roasted pack, AH recommends an airtight, light-proof container.
Does a vegan label also mean that almonds are allergen-free?
No. The Dutch Vegetarian Association makes clear that a vegan certification mark isn’t an allergen declaration. So check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack separately from the vegan information.
What Dutch rules apply to allergen warnings?
Since 1 January 2026, Dutch rules have applied to warnings about the unintended presence of allergens. The NVWA states that a risk assessment determines whether a warning is needed, and gives the phrases ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’. A warning, or the absence of one, isn’t in itself a personal assessment of whether a product is suitable for someone with an allergy.
