Choose a multipack if you want to open or hand out separate bags during several breaks, but check how many grams each bag contains too: the Duyvis box listed by Foods & Goods contains ten 125 g bags, not ready-made single portions. If you want smaller amounts for lunchboxes, you can portion them yourself from a larger pack; also check the exact flavour, ingredients and storage advice.
You want to take several packs with you without having to keep opening the same large bag. Compare the number of inner packs with the weight of each bag: for example, Foods & Goods lists Duyvis Cashews Sea Salt as ten 125 g bags. So a share bag isn’t necessarily a small snack portion.
You want to decide in advance how many cashews each person can take, or how much to pack for each break. Larger packs from retailers including Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS can work for this; portion them yourself and store the remainder in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, following advice from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts to children under 4.
You want a handy snack for the journey and prefer unsalted nuts. Check the exact variant and ingredients: unsalted doesn’t automatically mean unroasted or free from added oil. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre offers advice on unsalted nuts.
First decide whether you want to hand out individual bags or portion the nuts yourself. Then match the amount for each break to the pack size, and check the variant and storage conditions.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Bags to share | Check both the number of inner packs and the weight of each bag; a multipack alone doesn’t tell you the portion size. | I want to be able to hand out or open a new bag at different breaks. Around 31% of consumers prioritise this option. |
| Amount for each lunchbox | Check the weight of each pack and decide in advance how much you want to take; don’t automatically count bags as portions. | When I pack lunchboxes, I want to decide the amount for each person myself. Around 25% of consumers prioritise portion control. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Compare the exact variant and ingredients. Unsalted, unroasted and made without added oil are different things. | I want to choose a savoury option or take unsalted cashews with me. Around 19% of consumers focus mainly on flavour and ingredients. |
| Total amount | Match the total weight to the number of travellers and occasions; also consider where you’ll store any leftovers. | I don’t want to take more than I need for the journey and can store properly afterwards. Around 13% of consumers prioritise choosing the right amount. |
| Suitability for travel companions | Take age into account and check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. | When I share snacks, I want to consider young children and my travel companions’ allergies. Around 12% of consumers put suitability first. |
The number of bags doesn’t tell you how much you’ll want to eat at each snack break. The Duyvis bags listed by Foods & Goods contain 125 g each; Albert Heijn lists a bundle of four items.
Check the weight of each inner pack as well as the number of packs.
Smaller portions may take extra preparation and a container that seals securely.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking. A variant may also contain allergens or carry an allergen warning.
Before handing out a snack, check the age guidance and the information on the current pack.
According to the product information, the PLUS Cashewnoten ongezouten variant contains sunflower oil and is roasted. The description of Duyvis Cashews Original refers to a different variant from Cashews Sea Salt.

The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place.
Take what you need and store any remaining nuts in a suitable place, following the instructions on the pack.

Store nuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, following advice from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre and the instructions on the pack. Use a container that seals securely if you make your own portions, and don’t leave your supply in a warm car for extended periods.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking. Also take any allergies into account.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack for the exact variant. The NVWA states that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods; for example, the PLUS variant states that it may contain peanuts. This information doesn’t prove that a product is suitable for someone with an allergy.
No. The NVWA warning dated 20 May 2026 concerns Trader Joe’s 170 g unsalted cashews with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026. Don’t eat the nuts if any you still have match these details; the warning doesn’t automatically apply to other packs.
