If you want to grab a single portion from the office snack tin, choose a pack that contains genuinely individual sachets and check how much each one contains. A larger bag may suit you if you’d rather portion the cashews yourself; just keep the product and allergen information with the rest of the stock. A pack listing several servings doesn’t prove that it contains separate sachets.
You want to grab one measured portion from the office snack tin. Check how much each inner pack contains: a bag with several servings isn’t automatically a multipack of individual sachets. Joybuy lists four to five servings for a 125 g pack of Duyvis, but that alone doesn’t tell you whether it contains separate sachets.
You’re looking for cashews to enjoy regularly and prefer the unsalted variety. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a handful of unsalted nuts a day and varying the types of nuts you eat; pack size and individual portions are separate considerations.
You’re buying for several colleagues and want to portion the stock yourself. Keep the original product and allergen information with the portions, and follow the storage instructions. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority and the European Union provide information about allergens on food labels.
First decide between ready-to-grab individual sachets and portioning the cashews yourself. Then check the variety and how you’ll keep the product information available in a shared snack tin.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions to take with you | Check the number of physical inner sachets and how much each one contains. Joybuy lists four to five servings for a 125 g pack of Duyvis; this doesn’t prove that it contains individual sachets. | If I want to grab a pack without weighing anything, it needs to be clear that it really is an individual sachet. Around 33% of consumers say convenience on the go is their top purchasing priority. |
| Unsalted variety | Check the variety name, ingredients and salt information on the exact pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a handful of unsalted nuts a day. | If you snack regularly and prefer unsalted nuts, you’ll want to make that choice separately from pack size. Around 27% of consumers say choosing unsalted snacks is their top purchasing priority. |
| Allergen information | Check the allergen information on the label. If you portion the cashews yourself, keep the original packaging identifiable and available. | If colleagues are sharing the same snack tin, I want them to be able to check the product and allergen information. Around 20% of consumers say clear allergen information is their top purchasing priority. |
| Stock and storage | Check the total pack size and storage instructions. For opened unsalted cashews, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends six months in a kitchen cupboard; also follow the instructions on the product packaging. | If I’m buying for several colleagues, I want to choose an amount of stock that’s practical to portion and store. Around 20% of consumers say managing stock is their top purchasing priority. |
A 125 g pack listing four to five servings isn’t necessarily a multipack. The serving information doesn’t tell you whether the nuts are physically packed in separate sachets.
Before buying, check the number of inner packs and how much each sachet contains.
Portioning the cashews yourself takes preparation and suitable containers for taking them with you.
Allergens can cause serious reactions. If you transfer the nuts to other containers without keeping the original information with them, colleagues may not be able to check the product details properly.
Keep the original packaging or make sure its information is clearly available with the portions. Don’t present cashews as suitable for anyone with a cashew allergy.
Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil. This tells you how they’re prepared, but doesn’t confirm that the variety is unsalted.
Check the variety, ingredients and salt information separately on the pack you’re buying.
