Who are multipacks useful for?

A late-night snack for yourself

If you want to open a fresh bag for each snack break rather than portioning out a larger sharing bag, Duyvis Provençale is available in a box of 20 × 45 g bags. This is a pack size, not nutritional advice.

A snack to take with you

Individual bags can be handy if you want to take coated peanuts with you without repacking them. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against whole nuts and peanuts for children under four because of the risk of choking.

Sharing snacks and stocking up

A box of eight 275 g bags is designed as a multipack with larger sharing bags. You can open one for each occasion, but you’ll need to portion it out yourself if you want a smaller serving.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to look for Who is this most important for?
Contents of each bag Check both the number of inner bags and the weight of each one; a serving size on a label isn’t the same as an individually wrapped pack. If you want to open a bag for yourself or take one with you without repacking it, small individual bags are likely to matter most. Around 29% of consumers say individual bags are their top priority.
Sharing and storage Check whether the box contains several sealed sharing bags, whether an individual bag is resealable and what the storage instructions on the pack say. If you want to snack with others on different occasions, a multipack with individual sharing bags may suit the way you use them. Around 29% of consumers prioritise sharing and storage.
Total quantity Compare the total weight and consider whether you can portion and store the contents between snack occasions. If you mainly want to choose an amount that suits how often you eat coated peanuts, it’s worth considering the total weight. Around 21% of consumers prioritise the total cost of their purchase.
Flavour and ingredients Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour and pack; ingredients can vary between versions. If you’re buying for several people, check that the flavour you choose meets everyone’s ingredient and allergen requirements. Around 21% of consumers prioritise flavour and suitable ingredients.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a multipack is made up of small snack bags

    A box of eight 275 g bags and a box of twenty 45 g bags are both multipacks, but the individual packs are different sizes. You’ll need to portion out the larger sharing bags if you want to take a smaller amount with you.

    Before buying, check both the number of individual packs and the weight of each one.

    If you want to take smaller portions with you, you’ll need to portion out the larger sharing bags yourself and possibly repack them.

  • Assuming all flavours have the same ingredients

    According to the ingredient information consulted, Duyvis Cocktail contains milk, peanuts and wheat. Milk is listed as possibly present in Duyvis Provençale 20 × 45 g; check the other ingredients on the exact pack too.

    Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack for everyone who’ll be eating it, even if you’re already familiar with the brand.

  • Storing an opened pack as if it were still sealed

    For Duyvis Provençale, the product information recommends storing an opened bag in a light- and airtight container.

    Follow the storage instructions on the pack of the version you buy.

Brands and retailers to consider

Duyvis

The multipack sizes mentioned are Provençale in 20 × 45 g bags and Cocktail in eight 275 g bags.

  • The individual packs are clearly different sizes: small individual bags versus larger sharing bags.
  • Provençale has an onion and garlic flavour. According to the product information consulted, Cocktail contains milk; check the exact pack.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn sells Duyvis Provençale in a multipack and also lists its own 250 g bag of Cocktail.

  • The Duyvis pack contains 20 × 45 g bags. The 250 g AH Cocktail bag is described as easy to reseal.
  • The resealable feature applies to this AH version; the individual bag isn’t a multipack with small inner bags.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists Cocktail coated peanuts in 300 g bags and 500 g value packs.

  • Individual bag sizes are available for you to portion out yourself.
  • The value packs aren’t multipacks with separate small inner bags. The 300 g Cocktail version contains peanuts and wheat.

PLUS

PLUS lists varieties including Mild and Oriental Style in 300 g bags.

  • The products mentioned have specific product descriptions: Mild is labelled vegetarian and Oriental Style vegan.
  • These individual bags aren’t confirmed portion-sized multipacks. A vegetarian or vegan label doesn’t mean a product is free from allergens.

Aldi

ALDI Netherlands lists Trader Joe’s coated peanuts in 300 g bags, including bacon and cheese, poesta and paprika flavours.

  • The product information mentioned describes several flavours and the bag size.
  • These are individual bags, not a multipack of small bags.

Lidl

Lidl is a place to look for Duyvis coated peanuts, but the product information listed doesn’t describe a separate multipack range.

  • If you buy them, check the current pack and whether it actually contains individual inner bags.

Frequently asked questions

Is a bag containing several nutritional servings the same as a multipack?

No. Check the number of individual inner packs. The Duyvis Provençale 20-pack contains twenty 45 g bags; the Cocktail multipack contains eight 275 g bags. The number of nutritional servings on a label refers to something different.

Can I put coated peanuts in a child’s lunchbox?

The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against whole nuts and peanuts for children under four because of the risk of choking. For anyone else, the exact version needs to meet their ingredient and allergen requirements; an individual pack doesn’t automatically make the product suitable.

How should I store an opened bag?

For Duyvis Provençale 45 g, the product information says to store it in a cool, dry place and recommends keeping an opened bag in a light- and airtight container. Follow the instructions on your pack; don’t assume a specific storage period if one isn’t stated on the product.

Are Cocktail and Provençale suitable for someone avoiding milk?

Check the exact pack. According to the ingredient information consulted, Cocktail contains milk. Milk is listed as possibly present in Duyvis Provençale 20 × 45 g due to cross-contamination; this may also be relevant if you have a milk allergy.

What information must appear on packaging in the Netherlands?

EU rules require pre-packed foods to show details including ingredients, clearly highlighted allergens, net quantity, best-before date and, where necessary, storage conditions. Since 1 January 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) has also checked that warnings about possible allergen cross-contamination are correct. These requirements don’t mean that every version is suitable for everyone.
