Who are these options for?

Taking one portion with you

You want to know in advance how much you’ll eat during a work break. Check the amount in each individual bag, or take a portion you’ve measured out yourself. Jumbo says its resealable 130 g pack contains around five portions.

Regularly choosing unsalted snacks

You’re looking for unsalted cashew nuts and want to compare how they’re prepared and what they contain. PLUS offers an unroasted variety made with cashew nuts alone, as well as a roasted Fairtrade variety with sunflower oil.

Putting snacks out for colleagues

If you’re sharing an office snack supply, you want to keep the ingredients and allergen information for each pack easy to identify. Cashew nuts are an allergen, so check for warnings about other nuts or peanuts too.

What should you look for when choosing?

Individually wrapped portions

Best if: you don’t want to weigh or pack a portion yourself, and the amount in each bag suits your break.

Keep in mind: check that the product really does contain individual bags. The AH Cashewnoten kvp pack of 3 x 40 g is listed as discontinued.

A compact multi-portion pack

Best if: you want a resealable pack from which you can measure out several portions. Jumbo says its 130 g pack contains around five portions.

Keep in mind: these roasted cashew nuts contain sunflower oil, and the pack isn’t a pre-measured snack portion.

A larger unsalted pack

Best if: you take cashew nuts with you regularly and want to portion them out at home. PLUS lists cashew nuts as the only ingredient in its unroasted variety.

Keep in mind: portioning them yourself takes preparation, and you’ll need to keep the remaining nuts in a well-sealed pack. The PLUS Fairtrade variety is roasted and contains sunflower oil.

Savoury roasted cashew nuts

Best if: you’re mainly looking for a savoury, roasted flavour in an office snack.

Keep in mind: Duyvis says its cashews are roasted without added oil, but the seasoning mix contains salt. You’ll still need to portion out the pack.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
A clearly defined portion to take with you Check the amount in each bag, how many individual bags there are, and whether a larger pack is resealable. Jumbo says its 130 g pack contains around five portions; the AH multipack of 3 x 40 g is listed as discontinued. If you want to take a measured amount for one work break, portion convenience is your first consideration. Around 31% of consumers put this need first.
Unsalted ingredients Read the ingredients and salt information; don’t assume a product is ‘unsalted’ just because it’s described as ‘roasted’ or ‘without added oil’. If you want to snack on unsalted cashew nuts regularly, compare the ingredients and preparation method on the label. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this need.
A supply for several breaks Compare the net weight and check whether you can reseal the pack properly after opening and store it in a dry place. If you stock up on cashew nuts for several visits to the office and portion them out yourself, a larger pack can be practical. Around 19% of consumers put this need first.
Savoury flavour and preparation Check the exact variety, seasoning mix, oil and salt; don’t rely only on the preparation claim on the front of the pack. If you’re after a savoury, roasted snack for your break, check which ingredients have been added to the cashew nuts. Around 13% of consumers prioritise this flavour preference.
Clear allergen information Keep the original ingredients and allergen information with the pack, and check the product, batch and best-before date if there’s a safety warning. If colleagues are taking snacks from the same supply, they should be able to check the product and allergen information. Around 12% of consumers prioritise sharing food safely.

Common pitfalls

  • Assuming a compact pack is one portion

    A pack may contain several snacks’ worth. Jumbo says its 130 g pack contains around five portions, so its compact size doesn’t tell you how much you’ll eat during one break.

    Check the portion information and set aside the amount you want in advance.

  • Assuming ‘without added oil’ means ‘unsalted’

    Duyvis says its Cashews Original are roasted without added oil, but the savoury seasoning mix contains salt.

    Consider the preparation method and ingredients separately, and check the pack of the variety you’re buying.

  • Portioning nuts yourself but not keeping the product information

    A container of cashew nuts won’t show which ingredients and allergens were listed on the original pack. The NVWA stresses that relevant allergens must be clearly identifiable on the label.

    If you’re sharing a supply, keep the original label and batch information available, and store the nuts in a well-sealed pack.

  • Not sealing or storing a supply properly

    Voedingscentrum lists rancidity, a chewy texture and mould as signs of deterioration or spoilage in cashew nuts.

    Follow the storage instructions on the pack, seal it properly and check the remaining nuts before eating them.

Brands and product ranges to compare

Duyvis

Cashews Original is an option if you’re looking for a savoury, roasted cashew snack.

  • Duyvis says its cashews are oven-roasted without added oil.
  • The ingredients include salt, and the 125 g pack isn’t an individually portioned snack.

Albert Heijn

The 170 g pack of unsalted cashew nuts is an option if you’re looking for unsalted nuts.

  • The product page describes the cashew nuts as extra-large and unsalted.
  • The AH Cashewnoten kvp pack with three 40 g bags is listed as discontinued, so it isn’t currently available to buy.

Jumbo

The 130 g Ongezouten Cashewnoten pack is a compact supply that you can portion out yourself.

  • Jumbo says the pack is resealable and contains around five portions.
  • The cashew nuts are roasted and contain sunflower oil; the pack isn’t a single serving.

Lidl

The product page checked lists unsalted cashew nuts.

  • The product name makes it easy to identify the unsalted variety.
  • Check the pack itself for the weight, ingredients and storage instructions that matter for your choice.

Aldi

The 250 g pack checked is Trader Joe’s roasted, unsalted cashew nuts.

  • The product information lists the pack size and describes the variety as roasted and unsalted.
  • Trader Joe’s is the product brand; Aldi is the supermarket. A safety warning for a different pack doesn’t automatically apply to this 250 g variety.

PLUS

The 200 g unsalted varieties offer an unroasted and a roasted option.

  • The unroasted variety lists cashew nuts as its only ingredient. For the roasted variety, PLUS lists Fairtrade and FLO-CERT.
  • The roasted variety contains sunflower oil. A certification label alone doesn’t tell you whether the pack is a suitable snack portion.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 125 or 130 g pack one snack portion?

Not necessarily. Jumbo says its 130 g pack contains around five portions and gives nutritional values per 25 g. Check the portion information and decide how much you want to take for your break.

How should you store an opened pack of cashew nuts at the office?

Store cashew nuts in a well-sealed pack in a dry place, and follow the instructions on the packaging. Voedingscentrum recommends storing them somewhere cool, for example at 10 to 15 °C. Rancidity, a chewy texture or mould are signs of deterioration or spoilage.

What allergen information matters when you portion out snacks yourself?

Keep the original label with the portions so colleagues can check the ingredients and allergens. The NVWA says relevant allergens must be clearly identifiable in the ingredients list; check for warnings about other nuts or peanuts too.

Which ALDI cashew nuts are covered by the NVWA safety warning?

The NVWA warning issued on 20 May 2026 concerns Trader Joe’s unsalted cashew nuts, 170 g, with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026. Do not eat the affected pack. The warning applies to these product and batch details; don’t assume it applies to all ALDI cashew nuts.

Does ‘without added oil’ mean cashew nuts are unsalted?

No. Duyvis says its Cashews Original are roasted without added oil, but the savoury seasoning mix contains salt. So check both the preparation method and the ingredients of the specific variety.
