If you want to share snacks between several people or occasions, choose individual portion bags. The Duyvis multipacks described here contain ten 125 g bags, not ten small lunch portions. If you want to decide how much to put in a lunchbox yourself, choose a single bag of cashews and portion them out. Compare the exact variety and ingredients, check for allergens and seal opened packaging carefully.
You want to know how much is in each bag, or measure out a portion yourself. A 125 g portion bag is different from a small snack pack. For children under 4, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole nuts, due to the risk of choking.
You’re setting out snacks for several people or occasions. Check the number of individual bags and the amount in each one: a multipack of portion bags is not the same as one larger pack.
You’re comparing unsalted varieties for regular snacks. Check the preparation method and ingredients too: unsalted does not automatically mean unroasted or oil-free.
Choose this if: you want to share several sealed bags between people or snack occasions. Foods & Goods describes Duyvis boxes containing ten 125 g bags.
Bear in mind: 125 g per bag is not automatically a lunch portion; the varieties described are salted.
Choose this if: you want to decide how many cashews to take with you or share out. AH Terra, Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS offer the single packs described here.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to measure out the portions yourself and seal the opened bag carefully afterwards.
Choose this if: you want to take a small, sealed portion with you without measuring it out yourself.
Bear in mind: the AH Notenmix multipack described here contains 3 × 40 g of mixed nuts and is listed as discontinued; it is not a current multipack containing cashews only.
First decide whether you need individual bags or would rather portion the snacks yourself. Then compare the amount per bag and the ingredients of the exact variety.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Bags and portion size | Check the number of individual bags, the weight of each bag and the total contents. Also check whether the product contains cashews only. | If I’m filling lunchboxes or portioning snacks in advance, I want to know how much is in each bag. Around 31% of consumers prioritise the packaging format and amount in each bag. |
| Ingredients | Read the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact variety. Consider the salt, preparation method and any oil separately. | If you regularly eat unsalted cashews, you can compare the ingredients of different varieties. Around 25% of consumers prioritise the ingredients for everyday snacking. |
| How much to stock up on | Compare the total contents with how much you expect to use; the weight of a bag does not tell you how many individual portions it contains. | If I’m buying snacks for several people or occasions, I want to choose an amount that suits how I’ll use them. Around 19% of consumers prioritise getting the right amount in stock. |
| Allergens and suitability | Read the ingredients and allergen warnings on the packaging. Don’t choose whole nuts as a lunchbox snack for children under 4. | If you need to account for a relevant allergy or young children, first check that the contents are suitable for those who’ll be eating them. Around 13% of consumers prioritise suitability for specific people. |
| Storing after opening | Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the packaging. Seal an opened bag carefully and store the nuts in a dry place. | If I use a large bag over several occasions, I want to know how to store it after opening. Around 12% of consumers prioritise ease of storage. |
The Duyvis multipacks described here contain 125 g bags. The word ‘multipack’ doesn’t tell you how much you need for each eating occasion.
Decide how much you want, then check the weight of each individual bag. If needed, measure out a smaller amount yourself.
These terms describe different things. Jumbo lists sunflower oil in its unsalted cashews, while AH Terra lists unroasted cashews.
Check the preparation method and ingredients separately from the salt content on the label of the variety you’re buying.
The AH Notenmix multipack described here contains other nuts as well as cashews. So the product type and potential allergens differ from a bag of cashews only.
Check the full product name, ingredients and allergen information rather than relying on the word ‘cashew’ alone.

No. It means ten individual bags, each weighing 125 g, not ten small portions. Decide what amount suits the occasion; AH Terra, for example, lists 25 g as a product serving, but that isn’t a standard amount for every situation.
For children under 4, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole nuts, due to the risk of choking. A small bag doesn’t make whole cashews suitable for this age group.
Seal the remaining pack carefully and store the nuts in a cool, dry place. AH Terra also recommends storing them away from light. Follow the storage and best-before instructions on your own pack, and don’t assume that all varieties have the same shelf life after opening.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the exact variety. From 1 January 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority supervises the rules for substantiated precautionary allergen warnings, including the wording ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’. A label cannot guarantee that a product is suitable for everyone with an allergy.
No. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority warning concerned Trader Joe’s 170 g unsalted cashews with a best-before date of 23-09-2026, due to possible metal fragments. That date has passed, but don’t eat the specific pack if you still have the affected batch at home. The warning does not apply to all ALDI cashews.
