Ready to go, with no prep

Who are these options suitable for?
Choose your own snack portions
You want to prepare several portions or decide for yourself how much to take. Jumbo, PLUS and ALDI list larger packs as options you can portion out yourself. Use a container that seals securely.
Looking for a savoury festival snack
You’re after roasted cashews with a savoury flavour and don’t mind portioning them out beforehand. Jumbo lists Duyvis Oven Roasted Salted Cashews in a 125 g pack. Check the ingredients and allergen information for this variety.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether you want ready-made portions or would prefer to choose the amount yourself. Then compare the variety you want, the allergen information and the cost on a like-for-like basis.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Small portion to take with you | Check the weight of each individual pack, not just the total weight. Lidl Netherlands lists the multipack as 3 x 25 g. | If you want to take a small portion without weighing it out first, the size of each bag matters. This is a priority for around 36% of consumers who mainly want something convenient to take with them. |
| Flavour and variety | Check whether the cashews are unsalted or savoury roasted. Jumbo describes the 125 g Duyvis variety as roasted and savoury. | If you mainly want an unsalted snack, you’ll make a different choice from someone looking for a savoury flavour. Around 29% of consumers put this choice first. |
| Allergen information | Read the label on the exact pack. The NVWA provides information about allergen labelling; the Jumbo page also notes that the Duyvis variety checked may contain cereals containing gluten, peanuts and wheat. | If you’re buying for someone else or sharing snacks, you’ll want to check the allergen information and any possible presence of allergens. Around 21% of consumers put this first. |
| Cost per portion | Compare current prices for the same weight and use the same portion size for your calculations. If you’re portioning the cashews yourself, include any packaging costs too. | If you want to prepare several portions, you’ll want to know how much each one costs. Around 14% of consumers put cost per portion above all else. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a 100–250 g bag is one small portion
Larger retail packs are different from a multipack of individual portions. The total weight doesn’t tell you how much you’ll want to take for each snack break.
Check the weight of each individual pack and decide in advance whether you want ready-made portions or plan to portion the cashews yourself.
-
Assuming unsalted means allergen-free
Unsalted describes the variety, not whether it contains allergens. The Jumbo product page for the Duyvis variety checked lists cashews and notes that it may contain cereals containing gluten, peanuts and wheat.
Check the label on the current pack, especially if you’re buying for someone else or sharing snacks.
-
Not storing an opened bag as instructed
For the Duyvis variety checked, the product page gives storage instructions, including keeping it in a cool, dry place and putting an opened bag in a light- and airtight container.
Follow the instructions on the pack and don’t assume that the storage period for another variety applies. Voedingscentrum advises looking out for rancidity, a tough texture and mould.
Brands to compare

Frequently asked questions
How much is in the small Lidl portions?
Lidl Netherlands lists Way To Go! Unsalted Cashews as a multipack of 3 x 25 g. This is a pack size, not a personal dietary recommendation.
How should you store cashews after opening a larger bag?
Follow the instructions on the pack. For Duyvis Oven Roasted Salted Cashews, the product page recommends storing them in a cool, dry place and putting an opened bag in a light- and airtight container. Voedingscentrum advises looking out for rancidity, a tough texture and mould.
What should you look for in a pack’s allergen information?
Check the ingredients list and any information about possible traces on the current pack. The NVWA says allergens must be clearly stated on the label; the European Union says allergens must be highlighted in the ingredients list.
Which ALDI cashews were covered by the safety warning?
The NVWA warning dated 20 May 2026 concerned Trader Joe’s 170 g pack of unsalted cashews, barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026, due to possible metal particles. Do not eat this specific pack. The warning does not automatically apply to other varieties, such as a 250 g pack.
Are multipacks always cheaper than making your own portions?
