Who are these packs suitable for?

Ready to take with you

You’re looking for sealed bags your dad can take along for different snack breaks, without having to transfer them into other packaging. HANOS lists Duyvis Provençale in 20 bags of 45 g; a 125 g bag is a different format.

Portioning them yourself

You want to divide the snacks up in advance and don’t mind the extra preparation. Albert Heijn, Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS list larger packs, including 300 g options; Jumbo also lists a 500 g pack.

Choosing a particular flavour

You want to pick a flavour your dad likes and take account of any ingredients he needs to avoid. Duyvis describes Provençale as onion and garlic flavour; also check the allergen label on the specific product.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Individual bags Check how many inner bags there are and the weight of each one; don’t work this out from the total pack weight alone. If you want to pack sealed bags for several snack breaks, this saves you having to repackage them yourself. Around 42% of consumers prioritise being able to take snacks with them straight away.
Amount per snack break Check whether it’s one large bag or separate inner bags, and decide how much you want to take. If you want to choose how much to take for each snack break, portioning it yourself gives you more flexibility but takes preparation. Around 33% of consumers prioritise choosing the amount.
Flavour and ingredients Read the flavour description, ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. If the gift needs to suit your dad’s taste and dietary requirements, the ingredients are key. Around 25% of consumers prioritise suitability for the recipient.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming a small bag is a set personal portion

    45 g per inner bag and 125 g per whole bag describe the packaging; they don’t tell you how much someone should eat at a time.

    Check the weight of each inner bag as well as the total pack weight, then choose according to how much you want to take.

    Dividing up a large bag yourself takes extra preparation and suitable packaging for anything you’re keeping.

  • Taking a flavour name as proof that it’s suitable

    A flavour description doesn’t tell you whether the ingredients are suitable for someone who needs to avoid certain foods. The 125 g Duyvis Provençale bag examined contains peanuts and wheat, and also lists other possible allergens.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, even if you’re choosing a familiar flavour.

  • Treating a list of flavours as a comparison of pack formats

    Snackspert’s January 2025 list is about flavour, not individual bags to take with you or which pack is right for snacking on the go.

    Assess the packaging by the number of inner bags and the pack contents; use a flavour description only if it suits the recipient’s preferences.

Brands and retailers for reference

Duyvis

A relevant option for Provençale in different pack formats.

  • HANOS lists a box of 20 individual 45 g bags. Duyvis describes Provençale as onion and garlic flavour.
  • PLUS also lists a 125 g bag of Provençale. It isn’t the same as a box of individual bags; check the allergens on the option you choose.

Albert Heijn

A retailer offering AH own-brand coated peanuts, so you can choose a flavour and pack format.

  • The range includes 150 g paprika and 300 g cocktail flavours.
  • These pack weights don’t confirm that there are individual inner bags; check the packaging of the option you choose.

Jumbo

A retailer offering Jumbo own-brand coated peanuts in a range of pack sizes.

  • Jumbo lists, among other options, 300 g cocktail and a 500 g cocktail pack.
  • The larger bags don’t confirm that there are individual bags for taking with you; portioning them yourself takes preparation.

Lidl

A retailer where you can check the specific coated peanut packs in its range.

  • Lidl lists coated peanuts as a category and also names 200 g Duyvis coated peanuts.
  • The Duyvis listing isn’t a Lidl own-brand specification and doesn’t confirm a multipack of individual bags.

ALDI

A retailer offering Trader Joe’s coated peanuts in 300 g bags.

  • ALDI lists several flavours, including oriental, Provençale and cocktail.
  • The bags listed aren’t confirmed as individual portion packs; check the packaging and label for the flavour you choose.

PLUS

A retailer offering PLUS own-brand coated peanuts and Duyvis Provençale.

  • PLUS lists its own-brand Mild option in a 300 g pack and 125 g Duyvis Provençale.
  • Mild doesn’t in itself mean that the product is low in salt. The 125 g Duyvis pack is one whole bag, not a set of individual inner bags.

Frequently asked questions

Which coated peanuts already come in individual bags?

HANOS lists a box of Duyvis Provençale with 20 bags of 45 g. A 125 g bag is a different format; with other options, check that they really do contain separate inner bags.

Is a 125 g bag the same as a multipack?

No, the 125 g Duyvis Provençale pack examined is one whole bag, not a multipack of individual bags. Choose it if you want to share the contents or portion them out yourself.

What should I look for if my dad needs to avoid peanuts or gluten?

The 125 g Duyvis Provençale bag examined contains peanuts and wheat, so it isn’t suitable if these ingredients need to be avoided. PLUS product information also lists the possible presence of soya, milk, nuts and mustard; check the exact pack and other options separately.

How should I store coated peanuts after opening?

Follow the storage advice on the packaging. For the Duyvis Provençale option examined, the product information recommends storing it in a cool, dry place and preferably putting an opened bag in a light-proof, airtight container. For its own-brand Mild option, PLUS recommends storing it in a cool, dry, dark place.

Can I divide a larger bag into portions to take with me?

Yes, portioning it yourself is a practical option if you want to choose how much to take for each snack break. Keep the ingredients and best-before information to hand, and follow the storage advice for the option you’ve chosen once it’s opened.
