Don’t choose based on the word ‘multipack’ alone: the Duyvis box described contains ten 125 g bags and could suit several sharing occasions, but 125 g per bag doesn’t automatically make it a single lunch box portion. If you’d rather make up your own portions, consider larger packs of unsalted cashews. For children under four, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole nuts, due to the risk of choking.
If you want to hand out cashew nuts, check whether they come in individual bags and how many grams each bag contains. Foods & Goods describes a Duyvis box with 125 g bags; that weight doesn’t automatically make each bag a suitable lunch box portion.
If you’d like to pack nuts for after the Easter activity too, look for unsalted varieties and make up your own portions. For children under four, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole nuts.
If you don’t mind weighing out portions yourself, larger packs are an alternative to individually sealed bags. Jumbo lists unsalted cashews in a 500 g pack; ALDI lists roasted, unsalted cashews in a 250 g pack.
For an Easter activity, you might also want a snack to pack in a lunch box later. Foods & Goods lists ten 125 g bags in the Duyvis box; Albert Heijn lists cashews in a 3-pack and a 6-pack. A pack description on its own doesn’t tell you how many grams each inner pack contains.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who might this matter more to? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags | Check the number of bags and the weight of each one. | If I want to hand out a sealed bag to each participant, I need to know how many bags I’ll get and how many grams each contains. Packaging convenience is the top priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Age and allergens | Check whether whole nuts are suitable for the recipients and read the allergen information on the pack. | If I’m sharing snacks with children, I need to check that whole nuts are suitable for their age and whether cashews are listed as an allergen. Suitability for the recipient comes first for around 29% of consumers. |
| Quantity and leftovers | Compare the total net weight and the number of individual packs. | If I’m buying nuts to have at home for several occasions, I want to match the quantity to how I’ll use them and know whether I’ll need to make up my own portions. The amount needed and potential leftovers are the top priority for around 21% of consumers. |
| Unsalted contents | Check the product variety and the ingredients information. | If I’m looking for cashews to pack in lunch boxes regularly, I check whether they’re unsalted. Unsalted contents come first for around 14% of consumers. |
The packaging doesn’t change the advice about whole nuts for young children, and cashews are an allergen.
First, consider who will be eating the snack. For children under four, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole nuts. Also check the allergen information.
Retailer Foods & Goods describes the Duyvis box as containing ten bags of 125 g each. The number of bags doesn’t tell you whether the weight of each one is right for a single lunch box.
Check both the number of individual bags and the weight of each one, then consider how you’ll use them.
Dividing them into portions yourself may take extra time and require additional packaging.
A large total weight and several individual bags are different types of packaging; a large pack isn’t the same as a multipack of sealed portions.
Compare the net weight with the number of occasions you need portions for. If you weigh out portions yourself, allow for any leftovers too.

No. Roasting doesn’t prove that cashews are suitable for someone with a nut allergy. The Food Allergy Foundation states that the allergen remains stable when heated. Check the allergen information and don’t offer cashews as an allergen-free snack.
Compare both the number of individual bags and the total net weight. Foods & Goods lists ten 125 g bags in the Duyvis box; one bag doesn’t automatically equal one person’s portion or one lunch box portion.
