Choose individual snack packs if you want to fill lunch boxes without weighing out portions yourself, sharing bags for a snack together, or a larger resealable pack if you want to decide on your own portion sizes. Check the number of inner packs and the weight per pack: a trade case is not automatically a consumer multipack or a set of single portions.
You want to prepare almonds for several days and are looking for packs with a clear weight per pack. Dutch Food Delights describes a Duyvis packaging format with 30 g packs; this does not confirm whether this pack is available as a Dutch consumer product.
You want to open a bag to share for an afternoon snack. Duyvis describes Almonds Original in a 125 g pack; Dutch Food Delights also mentions an outer case containing several bags. A sharing bag is not automatically a single-person portion.
You prefer to decide how much to take with you and don't mind weighing it out. ALDI describes unroasted almonds in a 200 g resealable pack; an airtight container is also useful for portions you prepare in advance.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Number and weight of snack packs | Check the number of individually wrapped packs and the weight of each one; don't confuse this with the total contents of the outer pack. | If I'm filling lunch boxes for several days, I want to know how many packs are included and how many grams each one contains. Around 31% of consumers prioritise convenience when taking snacks with them. |
| Amount to share | Check the contents of each sharing bag and consider how many people you want to share it with. Several bags in a box are not automatically single-person portions. | For a snack together, I want the opened bag to suit the number of people eating, without expecting individual portions. Around 25% of consumers prioritise the amount available to share. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and salt information for the exact variety, and check the allergen information. Duyvis lists sunflower oil in Unsalted Almonds. | When I'm preparing almonds for others, I want to be able to check the ingredients and allergen information for each variety. Around 25% of consumers start by checking the ingredients and whether the product is suitable for those eating it. |
| Storage and keeping | Check the net weight, whether the pack is resealable and any storage advice on the packaging. | If I buy a larger bag, I want to be able to seal and store the remainder properly, without opening more than I need. Around 19% of consumers prioritise pack size and storage. |
A box containing several bags may contain sharing bags rather than individual portions. Dutch Food Delights describes different Duyvis packaging formats, including 30 g packs and cases containing 125 g bags.
Check the outer pack, the number of inner packs and the weight of each inner pack separately.
If the bags are intended for sharing, you may still need to weigh out or divide the contents yourself.
‘Unsalted’ alone doesn't tell you which other ingredients have been used. Duyvis lists sunflower oil in Unsalted Almonds and describes Almonds Original as oven-roasted with no added oil or fat.
Read the ingredients and salt information for the specific variety rather than relying on the product name alone.
Once opened, seal and store almonds properly, following the instructions on the packaging. The Voedingscentrum advises storing unsalted almonds in a cool, dark and dry place.
Choose a resealable pack or use an airtight container, and match the amount to how you plan to use the almonds.

Check the number of inner packs and the weight of each pack, not just the total contents. Dutch Food Delights describes, among other things, a Duyvis format with 30 g packs and cases containing 125 g bags; this information does not prove that these are current consumer multipacks.
With individual packs, count how many you want to use for your snack occasions. With a larger pack, divide the total weight in grams by the weight you choose for each portion; this is a calculation to help you plan, not personal nutritional advice.
No. A small pack does not automatically mean the contents are suitable for a young child. The MDL Fonds warns against giving whole nuts to children under four because of the risk of choking; the Voedingscentrum also advises against whole nuts.
According to the Voedingscentrum, store unsalted almonds in a cool, dark and dry place, in an airtight container. Also follow the instructions and use-by date on the packaging; general storage advice is not a guarantee for every product.
Check both the ingredients and any precautionary allergen warnings; almonds are a recognised tree nut allergen. In the Netherlands, rules for precautionary allergen warnings have applied since 1 January 2026. Under these rules, the NVWA lists the wording ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’; a warning about possible cross-contamination does not replace the declaration of ingredients that are present.
