If you have a cashew allergy, don’t choose cashew nuts: cashew is itself a tree nut allergen, as the Dutch Food Allergy Foundation also points out. If you can eat cashew but avoid gluten, milk or peanuts, for example, check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you want to take with you. ‘Unsalted’ and ‘oven-roasted’ say nothing about whether it’s suitable for you. For camping, also weigh up the storage instructions and pack size against the space you have for the packaging.
You’ll want to find out first whether cashew is suitable for you. Cashew is itself an allergen; if you avoid peanuts or other nuts, check the ingredients and warnings on the packaging too. The Dutch Food Allergy Foundation lists cashew nuts among the tree nut allergens.
You’re looking for information about a specific ingredient, not a general promise that a snack is ‘allergen-free’. The Dutch Nutrition Centre and the Dutch Food Allergy Foundation make clear that avoiding gluten and having a milk allergy require different considerations. Check the information on the exact packaging.
You want to take an amount that suits the length of your stay and can follow the storage instructions. For Jumbo Unroasted Cashew Nuts 140 g, the supplier’s instructions are to store in a cool, dry and dark place.
First check whether cashew nuts are suitable for you, given what you need to avoid. Then consider the packaging, how they’re prepared and where you’ll store them at the campsite.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Check allergens first | Check whether cashew or peanuts are listed as ingredients, and read any warnings about possible presence on the current packaging. | If I need to avoid an allergen, I want to know first whether cashew itself or another relevant allergen is present. Around 36% of consumers put allergen safety first. |
| A specific free-from requirement | Work out which ingredient you avoid, then check the ingredients, relevant allergens and any free-from claim on the exact packaging. | If I can eat cashew but avoid gluten or milk, I want information that meets that specific need. Around 29% of consumers put this check first. |
| Storage at the campsite | Read the storage instructions and decide in advance where you can keep the packaging cool, dry and out of direct light if the label requires it. | When packing for my camping trip, I need to know whether I can follow the storage instructions and find a suitable place for the packaging. For around 21% of consumers, storage is their first purchase priority. |
| Quantity and preparation | Compare the variant name, the stated preparation method and the net weight of the packaging. | Once I’ve checked dietary suitability and storage, I want the quantity and preparation to suit my stay. Around 14% of consumers put quantity and snack preference first. |

You can’t tell from the product name. Peanuts may be included as an ingredient in a mix, and Duyvis warns that its products may contain traces of peanuts and/or nuts. Check the ingredients and warnings on the exact packaging, and follow the advice you’ve been given for your allergy.
No. According to the Dutch Food Allergy Foundation, a milk allergy concerns the protein in animal milk. So if you need to avoid milk because of an allergy, check the milk information on the packaging; avoiding lactose isn’t a substitute for this check.
