Start by choosing the flavour you’re looking for: Duyvis describes Cocktail as savoury, Provençale as onion and garlic, and Cheese & Mustard as a cheese and mustard flavour. A smaller bag may be more practical for one lunch, but the pack size isn’t a recommended serving size; decide for yourself how much you want to eat. If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, always check the label on the exact variety.
You’ve picked up a sandwich and are looking for a flavoured snack to match your tastes. Duyvis describes several varieties, including savoury Cocktail, onion and garlic Provençale, Cheese & Mustard and sweet chilli options. These flavour names aren’t independent taste assessments.
You want the pack size to suit one or a few snack occasions. Duyvis Cocktail is available in sizes including 125 g, while PLUS Mild comes in a 300 g bag. These are pack weights, not necessarily single serving sizes.
You’re taking an allergy, dietary requirement or need for nutritional information into account. Check the current packaging for the exact variety: a brand or flavour name doesn’t tell you all the ingredients and allergens.
First choose the flavour you’re looking for, then decide which pack size suits how you’ll use it. If you have dietary requirements or allergies, check the label for that variety.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour preference | The flavour name and whether it matches what you’re looking for. | If I mainly want a flavour that goes with my sandwich and suits my preferences, I start with the flavour name; around 34% of consumers say flavour is their top priority. |
| Pack size | The net weight, how much you want to eat and the storage instructions for any leftovers. | If I only want to take something for this lunch, I check whether the pack size suits how I’ll use it and whether I can store the rest; around 25% of consumers prioritise finding a suitable quantity. |
| Label and dietary requirements | The ingredients, allergen information and any dietary information for the exact variety. | If I need to take an allergy or dietary requirement into account, I check the packaging for that exact variety; around 25% of consumers prioritise whether the product suits their dietary needs. |
| Convenience when shopping | Whether your preferred variety is available at your shop and whether the pack size suits how you’ll use it. | If I want to pick up a lunch snack as part of my regular shop, I weigh up convenience against the quantity I need; around 16% of consumers say convenience when shopping is their top priority. |
Cocktail, Provençale and Cheese & Mustard indicate a flavour profile, but they’re no substitute for checking the ingredients list and allergen information for the variety.
Check the current packaging, especially if you need to avoid certain ingredients because of an allergy or dietary requirement.
Pack sizes can vary, for example from 125 g to 300 g. The net weight isn’t a personal serving recommendation.
Decide how much you want to eat, and choose a pack with any later use and storage in mind too.
A larger bag may mean you’ll need to store what’s left after lunch.
A claim about one nutrient doesn’t automatically describe the full nutritional profile of a flavoured coated peanut.

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging for your variety. Jumbo Cocktail and PLUS Mild advise storing the product in a cool, dry, dark place; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre also recommends keeping nuts in a tightly sealed container. General storage advice for unopened nuts doesn’t guarantee how long an opened bag of flavoured coated peanuts will keep.
No, these two varieties are described as peanuts with a crispy coating. Avoid them if you need to avoid peanuts because of a peanut allergy; for other allergens, check the ingredients and warnings for the exact variety.
Allergen information must be clearly shown on the label. The NVWA states that, from 1 January 2026, rules apply to how and when food businesses must warn consumers about allergens that may be unintentionally present through cross-contamination. This information requirement doesn’t prove that a particular variety is suitable for your allergy; check the current label to assess this.
No, a vegetarian label on its own doesn’t prove that the product is vegan. Check the current ingredients and look for an explicit vegan label on the packaging.
Bear in mind the product-specific warning that young children may choke on peanuts and nuts. This guide therefore doesn’t establish that whole coated peanuts are suitable for young children.
