One pack for yourself
You want to have an individually wrapped snack pack ready for watching TV, and perhaps take the same size with you. Check the amount in each pack and how many packs are included.
Who are these options for?
Sharing or portioning them yourself
You’re looking for a bag you can portion out for several viewers or snack occasions. Think about how you’ll store an opened pack too; Jumbo recommends keeping Duyvis Provençale 125 g in an airtight container that protects it from light.
Label-conscious snackers
You give ingredients, allergens or nutritional values more weight than flavour and packaging convenience. If you have a relevant food allergy, check the exact pack: a different flavour or pack size won’t necessarily have the same recipe.
What should you look for when choosing?
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and packaging | Check the number of grams in each pack and how many individual packs are included. | If I want to take one sealed pack for watching TV or on the go, I check the amount in each pack. Around 50% of consumers put this packaging choice first. |
| Flavour | Compare the flavour stated on the pack, not just the brand. | If you’re looking for a familiar flavour, you’ll want to know exactly which variety is in the bag. Around 30% of consumers who put flavour first when choosing do so. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label for the exact flavour and pack; compare nutritional values on the same basis. | If ingredients or allergens are my first consideration, I check the current packaging before choosing. Around 20% of consumers prioritise whether a product meets their labelling requirements. |
Common pitfalls
-
Assuming a snack pack is the same as one serving
The amount in a pack and the serving size used in a nutrition table can differ. For Duyvis Provençale 125 g, for example, the Jumbo product page uses 30 g as an average serving.
Check the pack size and serving size separately, then decide how much you want to have.
-
Assuming the same flavour name means the same recipe
Product information for Provençale packs lists different peanut percentages and nutritional values. So the flavour name alone doesn’t tell you whether the full recipe is the same.
Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values on the label of the exact pack; don’t rely on information for another pack size without checking.
Brands and shops to consider
Duyvis
Duyvis lists several pack sizes for Provençale, including 45 g and 125 g.
- The individual pack sizes give you different options for taking them with you or portioning them yourself.
- The manufacturer’s information doesn’t support a general claim that one flavour tastes better; check the ingredients and nutritional values for each pack.
Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn lists both AH Cocktail Coated Peanuts and a Duyvis Provençale 20-pack.
- The product listings give you a choice between a supermarket own-brand product and individual snack packs from another brand.
- These are different brands and packaging options; check the current packaging for product details.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists its own-brand coated peanuts and also sells Duyvis Provençale in a 125 g bag.
- The shop listings give examples of different brands and pack sizes.
- Information about Duyvis Provençale doesn’t automatically apply to Jumbo own-brand coated peanuts.
Lidl
Lidl lists Duyvis Coated Peanuts in a 200 g pack; Lidl is the retailer here, not the brand on the packaging.
- The product listing is an example of a larger pack.
- The listing doesn’t confirm a Lidl own-brand version or guaranteed availability in a particular shop.
Aldi
ALDI Nederland lists TRADER JOE'S coated peanuts in 300 g packs, including oriental, Provençale and cocktail flavours.
- The listed varieties offer a choice of flavours within the available pack size.
- A claim on a retailer’s website about a test doesn’t, by itself, amount to a current independent product ranking.
PLUS
The official PLUS product page lists Ham and Cheese Coated Peanuts in a 300 g bag.
- PLUS lists this product as vegetarian.
- The flavour name alone doesn’t prove that it contains meat; vegetarian doesn’t automatically mean vegan either.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 45 g or 125 g pack automatically one serving?
No. The number of grams on the pack tells you its contents. For example, the Jumbo product page for Duyvis Provençale 125 g uses 30 g as an average serving in its nutrition table; that isn’t the same as the whole bag.
How should you store an opened bag of coated peanuts?
For Duyvis Provençale 125 g, the product information recommends storing it in a cool, dry place and putting an opened bag in an airtight container that protects it from light. For other varieties, follow the instructions on their own packaging.
What should you look for when checking allergens on the label?
Check the allergen information on the exact pack and assess it against your own dietary needs. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) says allergens must be clearly stated on the label. From 2026, the NVWA will also oversee the rules on warnings about possible cross-contamination. Labelling rules don’t prove that a particular product is suitable for every person with an allergy.
Are coated peanuts suitable for sharing with young children?
Not automatically. The product information for Duyvis Provençale 125 g warns that young children can choke on peanuts and nuts. A smaller pack doesn’t automatically make the product suitable as a snack for children.
Do ham and cheese-flavoured coated peanuts always contain meat?
No. The official product page lists PLUS Ham and Cheese Coated Peanuts 300 g as vegetarian. Check the ingredients for other varieties; the flavour name alone doesn’t tell you whether a product is vegetarian or vegan.
