Who is this choice relevant to?

Snackers looking for genuinely lower-fat almonds

You want the product itself to contain less fat and don’t want to mistake a description of how it is prepared for nutritional information. The Voedingscentrum gives 14 g of fat per 25 g handful of unsalted almonds as a general food reference; this is not a brand-specific product specification.

Snackers who want to manage their portions

You want to keep eating almonds and decide how many to have at each snack break. Compare the nutritional information for the specific variety and calculate it for the portion you choose, without treating regular almonds as low-fat.

Online grocery shoppers looking for convenient delivery

You want to have almonds delivered with your usual groceries, so you’re also checking how to order and what the delivery terms are. PLUS lists delivery or collection for the product reviewed; Lidl Nederland confirms that it does not offer grocery delivery.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want the product itself to contain less fat or simply want to adjust how much you eat at each snack break. Then check the ingredients and whether the retailer delivers your groceries.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Genuine fat reduction Read the exact nutrition claim and compare the total fat content on the same basis. “No added fat” describes how the product is prepared; on its own, it says nothing about the total fat content. If you want the almonds themselves to contain less fat, assess the claim alongside the nutritional information. Around 36% of consumers put demonstrable fat reduction at the top of their shopping priorities.
Portion per snack break Weigh the portion you eat and use the nutritional information for the exact variety. The Voedingscentrum gives 14 g of fat per 25 g of unsalted almonds as a general reference, not a brand-specific figure. If you mainly want to control how many almonds you eat at a time, your portion determines how much you consume; it does not make the product lower in fat per 100 g. Around 29% of consumers put portion control at the top of their shopping priorities.
Ingredients and allergens Check the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact variety. Unsalted or made without added oil does not automatically mean lower total fat. If you’re keeping an eye on things such as added salt or oil, check what’s in the variety you’re buying. If you have an almond allergy, the allergen information is important; a fat claim says nothing about whether a product is suitable for you. Around 21% of consumers focus mainly on the ingredients.
Delivery and costs Check whether the retailer delivers groceries to your address, which delivery option you can choose and what terms apply. Albert Heijn says delivery costs depend on the time slot selected. If you want to add almonds to a grocery delivery, first check that this option is available to you. Around 14% of consumers prioritise delivery convenience.

Common mistakes

  • Taking “no added fat” to mean “low-fat”

    Almonds contain fat naturally. A description of how they are prepared, such as roasted without added oil or fat, does not prove that their total fat content meets the requirements for a nutrition claim.

    Check the exact claim and the nutritional information. Take a preparation description to mean only what it actually says.

  • Calling a smaller portion a low-fat product

    A smaller portion changes how many almonds you eat, but not the fat content per 100 g.

    Compare products on the same quantity basis, then calculate the nutritional information for the portion you choose.

  • Confusing an online product listing with grocery delivery

    Lidl Nederland lists almonds online, but confirms that it does not sell groceries through its website or app and does not offer grocery delivery.

    Before choosing, check that the retailer you want to use actually delivers groceries to your address.

    A different way of ordering may have its own delivery costs and terms. For example, Albert Heijn says delivery costs depend on the time slot selected.

Frequently asked questions

When can almonds be called “low-fat” in the EU?

For solid foods in the EU, the “low-fat” claim is allowed only when the product contains no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g. The European Commission sets out this requirement for nutrition claims; it is not advice on how much you personally should eat.

How much fat is in a handful of regular unsalted almonds?

The Voedingscentrum lists 14 g of fat in 25 g of unsalted almonds, of which 0.9 g is saturated fat. This is a general food reference, not a brand-specific product specification. Check the information for the exact variety you’re ordering.

How should you store almonds after delivery?

Keep nuts tightly sealed in a dry place and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. The Voedingscentrum advises storing nuts in a tightly sealed container in a dry place; Jumbo says to store the product reviewed in a cool, dry place away from light.

Can you have almonds delivered with your groceries from Lidl?

Not through a Lidl grocery delivery service in the Netherlands: Lidl Nederland’s official customer service says Lidl does not sell groceries through its website or app and does not offer grocery delivery.

What should you check if the packaging you receive differs from the online listing?

Before eating the product, read the packaging you receive and check the ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information. Albert Heijn warns that product information can change; contact customer services if you have any questions.

What allergen information must be provided for food sold online?

Dutch government information states that label information must be in Dutch and available online, and that retailers must also provide information about allergens present. The NVWA says that new rules on warnings about allergens that may be present unintentionally have applied since 1 January 2026.
