Choose individual bags if you want to open a fresh pack for each film night; choose a larger bag if you’re sharing or measuring out portions yourself. A multipack doesn’t automatically mean single portions: check how many bags there are and the weight of each one. If you’re taking your own snacks, you’ll also need to check the cinema operator’s terms and conditions; the Pathé information consulted for school visits does not allow people to bring their own food and drink.
If you want to open a separate bag for each occasion, check how many individual bags there are and the weight of each one. Foods & Goods lists the Duyvis box as containing 10 bags of 125 grams; that’s the pack weight, not a set portion size.
A larger bag can be handy for a film night with friends or family when you’ll all be sharing. A large pack doesn’t automatically contain individual portions, so think about how you’ll store it once opened.
If you want to choose the amount yourself, look for a suitable pack size and the variety you prefer, such as unsalted. For children, bear in mind the risk of choking on whole nuts; a small bag doesn’t automatically make whole nuts suitable.
Compare the pack size and quantity with how you want to share, portion and store the cashew nuts.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Number of bags and weight | Check the number of individual packs and the weight of each bag separately. | If I want to open a fresh bag on different evenings, I look at how the box is packed; around 36% of consumers prioritise individual bags. |
| Amount for each occasion | Match the total amount to what you’ll eat together or want to portion out yourself. | If I don’t want to open more than I need for the occasion, I check the total amount; around 29% of consumers prioritise a suitable quantity and having enough in stock. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Read the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact variety; unsalted doesn’t automatically mean oil-free. | If I’m looking for a savoury or unsalted variety, I compare the ingredients on the pack; around 21% of consumers prioritise flavour and salt levels. |
| Storing after opening | Follow the storage instructions and use a securely sealed pack or container. | If I’m using a larger bag over several occasions, I want to know how to store the rest; around 14% of consumers prioritise managing their supplies. |
The bags in the Duyvis box described weigh 125 grams each. That’s the contents of each pack, not a recommended portion for one person.
Check both the number of bags and the weight of each one, then decide for yourself what’s right for the occasion.
For a lunch box, you may still need to weigh out the contents and pack them yourself.
A larger pack doesn’t contain individual portions, and you’ll need to store it appropriately once opened. It may also contain more than you need for the occasions you have planned.
Choose based on how much you’ll share or portion out yourself, and think about how you’ll store the rest.
These terms don’t tell you everything about what’s in the product. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as made without added oil, while the Jumbo unsalted variety examined contains sunflower oil.
Read the ingredients, any allergen information and the nutritional information for the exact variety; assess salt and oil separately.

125 grams is the pack weight, not a set portion. The Duyvis box described contains 125-gram bags; decide for yourself what’s right for the occasion. In an information leaflet, Amsterdam UMC advises giving children under 4 years old who have increased energy and protein needs nut butter rather than whole nuts, and also highlights the choking risk for older children. So a small bag doesn’t automatically make whole nuts suitable.
Read the allergen information on the exact pack and consider the people who’ll be eating with you. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must be included on the label of prepacked products. Also check for any warnings about other nuts, peanuts or wheat.
Follow the instructions on the pack and store the nuts in a securely sealed container in a cool, dark, dry place. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancidity, a chewy texture and mould as signs of a loss of quality or spoilage.
That depends on the cinema operator’s terms and conditions. The official Pathé page for school visits says that food and drink brought from outside may not be consumed in the cinema. This information applies to that context; check the terms and conditions for your specific visit.
Do not eat the product if it is Trader Joe’s unsalted cashew nuts, 170 grams, with barcode 2003020120930 and a best-before date of 23-09-2026. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority warning dated 20 May 2026 mentions possible metal particles. An expired best-before date does not prove that a pack you still have is safe; the warning relates to this specific pack and date.
