A snack to take with you
You want to take an individual pack with you without weighing out a portion first. Albert Heijn lists the Duyvis Provencale multipack as containing 20 x 45 g packs.
Who are these options for?
Portions for your festival group
You want to work out in advance how many individual packs or portions you’ll need to divide up yourself. A multipack and a larger shop-bought bag offer different ways to get snacks ready.
A snack that meets dietary requirements
Your choice depends on the ingredients in the exact flavour variant. The products reviewed contain ingredients including peanuts and wheat; some variants also contain milk or celery. A vegetarian label does not mean a product is allergen-free.
What should you look for in coated peanuts for a street festival?
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portion packs | Check the number of inner packs and the weight of each one. Make sure you know whether the portion information refers to an inner pack or the whole product. | If I want to grab a snack on the go without weighing it out, I look at the number of individual packs. Around 36% of consumers say individual portions are their main consideration. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and any warnings on the packaging of the exact variant. Don’t assume dietary suitability based on another flavour. | For consumers whose first priority is meeting dietary requirements, the ingredients in that specific variant are what matter. Around 14% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Quantity and leftovers | Work out how much you need to take for your festival plans and how many portions you can divide it into. Bear in mind that you may need to store an opened bag afterwards. | If I’m preparing snacks for a group, I want to take enough without having lots left over. Around 29% of consumers focus mainly on the quantity they need and any leftovers. |
| Flavour variant | Check the exact flavour description and the ingredients. A flavour name is not an independent assessment and says nothing about whether a product meets an individual’s dietary requirements. | When I’m looking for a flavour I’ll enjoy on the go, I compare the variants after taking dietary requirements into account. Around 21% of consumers give most weight to their preferred flavour. |
Common mistakes when portioning and storing snacks
-
Assuming a small bag is one portion
According to Jumbo, a single 125 g bag of Duyvis Provencale has an average portion size of 30 g. Albert Heijn lists 12 portions in its 300 g bag of AH Cocktail Coated Peanuts, but these are not 12 individual packs.
Check the number of inner packs and the weight of each one. Distinguish between the amount in the pack and the portion size calculated on the label.
If you portion the snacks yourself, you’ll need a suitable resealable container.
-
Assuming mild or vegetarian means allergen-free
The product information for PLUS Mild Coated Peanuts says that the variant is vegetarian, but also contains peanuts, wheat, milk and celery.
Before buying or handing them out, check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack, especially if someone has dietary requirements.
-
Buying a large bag without a plan for leftovers
Once opened, coated peanuts can lose their crunch. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing opened coated peanuts in a well-sealed container in a cool, dry, dark place, and gives 2–5 days in a kitchen cupboard as a guide.
Only take the amount that suits your plans, and follow the packaging instructions for any leftovers from an opened bag.

Frequently asked questions about coated peanuts on the go
How many individual packs are in the Duyvis Provencale 20-pack?
According to Albert Heijn, the pack contains 20 x 45 g bags. Decide in advance how many snack breaks or people you want to cater for; one pack per person is a planning choice, not nutritional advice.
Is a 125 g bag one portion?
No. The 125 g bag of Duyvis Provencale is a single pack, not an individual portion pack. Jumbo lists an average portion size of 30 g; check the portion information on the pack you buy.
How do I check allergens on Dutch packaging?
Check the ingredients list and warnings on the packaging of the exact variant. For prepacked foods, allergens must be clearly identifiable in the ingredients list. Since 1 January 2026, the NVWA has also overseen Dutch rules on warnings about possible cross-contamination; these warnings are different from allergens added as ingredients.
How should I store opened coated peanuts?
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing opened coated peanuts in a well-sealed container in a cool, dry, dark place, and gives 2–5 days in a kitchen cupboard as a guide. Also follow the instructions on your pack; for an unopened pack, follow the label and use-by or best-before date.
Are coated peanuts automatically suitable for handing out to young children?
No. The Duyvis and AH product information reviewed warns that young children may choke on these products. Don’t assume coated peanuts are suitable as a children’s snack; follow the warning on the packaging of the exact variant.
