Choose a pack based on the amount you want to prepare for each occasion, not the number of bags in the multipack. A multipack of regular packs still means you’ll need to weigh out portions. Also check the label for the exact variant and store any opened product according to the pack instructions.
You want to fit cashew nuts into your eating routine and know how many grams you have each time. Even with a multipack, you may need to weigh them out: a pack containing several bags doesn’t automatically give you separate, smaller portions. Voedingscentrum lists 25 g as the labelled portion for an AH product it examined; this is not personal dietary advice.
You want to prepare an amount in advance to take to work or eat on the go. Check the weight of each inner pack and whether you can reseal any cashew nuts left over. Whole nuts need extra consideration for young children, as Voedingscentrum warns of a choking risk.
You’re buying for several occasions or people and don’t want to confuse having a supply with having a single portion. Compare the net weight and consider whether you want to divide a larger amount in advance. Albert Heijn lists four 170 g packs in the 4-pack it examined; Jumbo lists a 500 g value pack.
When choosing cashew nuts for portion planning, lunchboxes or sharing, match the pack to the way you’re most likely to use it.
Choose this if: you want a pre-measured amount to take with you without weighing it out each time; check the weight of each bag.
Bear in mind: a small bag isn’t automatically the right amount for your eating plan.
Choose this if: you want to divide your supply between several occasions or people; the AH 4-pack examined contains four 170 g packs.
Bear in mind: the inner packs contain more than one portion, so you’ll still need to weigh out an amount for a lunchbox.
Choose this if: you’re sharing cashew nuts or want to weigh out amounts in advance; Jumbo lists a 500 g unsalted pack.
Bear in mind: the amount per occasion isn’t pre-set; seal the remaining supply properly and follow the storage advice on the label.
The percentages below show consumers’ main reasons for choosing cashew nut multipacks.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size and energy | Weigh the amount you have each time and calculate its energy using the label for the exact variant. A stated product portion is not automatically personal advice. | If you want to tailor the amount to your eating routine, you’ll want to know what you’re actually weighing out; around 36% of consumers are primarily concerned with portions and energy. |
| Preparing a lunchbox | Check the weight of each inner pack and whether you can seal the remaining supply properly after transferring some of it. | If you want to prepare something in advance for work or when you’re out and about, ease of portioning and storage matters; around 29% of consumers are mainly concerned with taking snacks with them and preparing them in advance. |
| Ingredients | Read the ingredients list and check the salt, sugar, oil and allergens separately on the label for the variant you’ve chosen. | If you want to make a specific choice about ingredients, such as salt or oil, the variant name alone won’t give you all the information; around 21% of consumers look mainly at the ingredients. |
| Stocking up and sharing | Compare the total net weight and check how the product should be stored after opening. | If you’re buying for several occasions or people, you’ll want to know how much you’re actually getting and how you can divide it up; around 14% of consumers are mainly concerned with stocking up and sharing. |
The AH 4-pack examined contains four separate 170 g packs. The label for the product inside lists a portion size of 25 g, so each inner pack contains several labelled portions.
Check both the number of packs and the weight of each one before planning your portions.
You’ll still need to weigh out an amount and transfer it to a lunchbox.
These are different characteristics. The AH product examined is unsalted but contains sunflower oil. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil, while the flavour mix contains salt.
Check each characteristic separately on the label for the exact variant.
The packs examined range from a 200 g bag to a 500 g value pack and a multipack containing 680 g in total.
Choose an amount that suits how often you eat cashew nuts or share them with others, and consider how you’ll store what’s left.
Cashew nuts are an allergen, whatever type of pack you choose. Whole nuts can also pose a choking risk for young children, warns Voedingscentrum.
If you have a relevant allergy, check the current label. For young children, consider the form of the nuts before packing or sharing them.
Duyvis describes Cashews Original as an oven-roasted variant in a 125 g pack.
According to Albert Heijn, the AH Cashewnoten ongezouten 4-pack examined contains four separate 170 g packs.

Choose an amount that suits your personal eating routine. Voedingscentrum recommends a handful of unsalted nuts each day and offers a personalised Schijf van Vijf tool. The 25 g shown on the AH label examined is a product portion, not a universal recommendation; calculate the energy using the label for your exact variant.
A multipack tells you about the packaging and, in itself, isn’t evidence of weight loss. According to Voedingscentrum, weight loss comes from taking in less energy than you burn. Choose an amount that fits into your overall eating routine, rather than automatically having extra portions because you have more in stock.
No. Check the weight of each inner pack. The AH 4-pack examined contains four separate 170 g packs; the label for the product inside lists a portion size of 25 g. You’ll need to decide how much to weigh out each time.
For young children, first consider the choking risk and their ability to chew. Voedingscentrum warns about whole nuts and recommends supervising children while they eat. A small bag or lunchbox-sized pack doesn’t remove this concern.
The NVWA warning issued on 20 May 2026 concerns Trader Joe's Cashewnoten ongezouten 170 g, barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026, due to possible metal fragments. Don’t eat a product with these details; an expired best-before date doesn’t make a recalled product kept at home safe. The warning doesn’t automatically apply to other packs.
