If you want less fat in the product itself, compare the total fat per 100 g and assess any reduced-fat claim separately from terms such as unsalted or made without added fat. For solid foods, the European Commission says a product can only be labelled low-fat if it contains no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g. If you’re mainly looking for a defined snack for your study break, weigh out a portion: this changes how much you eat, not the composition of the almonds.
You want less fat in the product itself and are looking to understand the difference between low-fat, a reduced-fat claim and made without added fat. The European Commission sets the threshold for a low-fat claim, while Duyvis distinguishes between preparation methods and varieties in its product range.
You want to have a set amount while studying, so you’re looking at the portion size, not just the values per 100 g. Voedingscentrum uses a handful of 25 g of unsalted almonds as a guide portion.
You might be looking for unsalted almonds, a resealable pack or a size that works for several breaks. Product descriptions from retailers including Jumbo, PLUS and ALDI mention these kinds of variety and packaging features.
First compare the ingredients per 100 g, then decide on your portion and look for a variety and pack that suit your study breaks.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Fat content of the product | Check the total fat per 100 g and find out what any reduced-fat claim is based on. | If you’re mainly looking for less fat in the almonds themselves, you’ll want to compare their composition. Around 39% of shoppers say a demonstrably lower fat content is their top priority. |
| Amount per break | Weigh out your portion and use the nutritional values for the exact product. | If you want a set amount while studying, it helps to look at portion weight alongside the values on the label. Around 31% of shoppers prioritise portion size and energy content. |
| Salt and flavour | Check whether the pack says unsalted, and read the ingredients and allergen information. | If you’re looking for unsalted almonds, check that the variety name on the pack matches. Around 15% of shoppers prioritise this composition. |
| Packaging and storage | Check the pack size, whether it can be resealed and the storage instructions. | If you want to divide your almonds across several breaks, the packaging and storage instructions are practical points to consider. Around 15% of shoppers prioritise convenience and packaging. |
A description of how a product is prepared doesn’t tell you how much total fat the finished product contains. Duyvis describes Almonds Original as oven-roasted without added oil or fat; this doesn’t prove that it has a lower total fat content.
Compare the total fat per 100 g on the pack and assess any nutrition claim separately from the preparation method.
A 25 g portion doesn’t change the fat content per 100 g. For a general guide portion of 25 g of unsalted almonds, Voedingscentrum lists 14 g of fat and 158 kilocalories.
Compare products per 100 g, then decide how much you want to weigh out. For a specific pack, use its own nutritional information.
Almonds are an allergen. A label such as unsalted or made without added fat tells you nothing about warnings for cross-contamination.
Read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the exact pack, especially if you have a food allergy.
Duyvis describes Almonds Original as savoury and oven-roasted without added oil or fat; Unsalted Almonds is the explicitly unsalted variety.

For solid foods, the European Commission says a product can only be labelled low-fat if it contains no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g. Unsalted, unroasted or made without added fat doesn’t, in itself, mean that the product meets this threshold.
No. The portion weight doesn’t change the fat content per 100 g. For a general guide portion of 25 g of unsalted almonds, Voedingscentrum lists 14 g of fat and 158 kilocalories. For a specific product, check the values on its own label.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack. For Jumbo Ongezouten Amandelen, Jumbo advises storing the almonds in a cool, dry place away from light; ALDI’s product information describes a resealable pack. Resealability alone doesn’t tell you how long the product will keep after opening.
Check the ingredients and cross-contamination warnings on the exact pack: almonds are an allergen. Since 1 January 2026, the NVWA has been responsible for enforcing the labelling rules for cross-contamination warnings.
According to Business.gov.nl, label information must be in Dutch and also made available online. When assessing a product, use the information for the exact variety, including its ingredients, allergens and nutritional values.
