A multipack is a good choice if you want to take a sealed bag with your lunch without weighing out a portion first. A larger loose bag is better if you’d rather decide how much to have yourself. Whichever option you choose, check the weight, allergens and nutritional information for that exact product, and enjoy coated peanuts as an addition to your lunch.
You want to pop a sealed bag in with your lunch without weighing out a portion first. Albert Heijn and Bidfood list the Duyvis Provencale multipack as containing 20 bags of 45 g; make sure that fixed amount suits what you want to take with you.
You want to take coated peanuts as an addition to your lunch and would rather weigh out a portion yourself. Compare the weight and nutritional information for the exact product with the rest of your lunch.
You want to portion out a larger bag yourself and keep the rest sealed after opening. Loose bags like these are a different packaging option from a multipack with individual bags to take with you.
Choose your pack based on how much preparation you want to do: a multipack gives you individual bags, while with a larger bag you can weigh out a portion yourself.
Albert Heijn and Bidfood list the Duyvis Provencale multipack reviewed here as containing 20 bags of 45 g. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 25 g for AH Borrelnoten cocktail; the Voedingscentrum also uses 25 g as a handful in its general nutritional table for coated peanuts. These are different points of reference, not personal advice on how much you should eat.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags to take with you | Check the number of individual bags and the weight of each one, not just the total weight. | If I want to pack my lunch without extra preparation, I look for bags that are already individually packed. Around 31% of consumers say individual bags to take with them are their top consideration. |
| Amount and nutritional information | Check the nutritional information per 100 g and compare it with the amount you actually want to eat. | If I want to decide for myself how many coated peanuts to have with my lunch, I want to match the bag weight and nutritional information to my choice. Around 25% of consumers make the amount their top priority. |
| Stocking up and portioning | Check whether a larger bag suits your needs for weighing out portions and storing the rest; a loose bag isn’t a multipack. | When I buy enough for several lunches, I want to be able to divide and store the contents conveniently. This is the top consideration for around 19% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients, allergen information and any warning about possible cross-contamination on the exact pack. | If I need to take a relevant allergy into account, I check the exact flavour and pack before choosing. Around 13% of consumers say suitability for someone with an allergy is their top consideration. |
| Flavour and varieties | Check the flavour description and whether the pack contains one flavour or a mix. | If I want to take several bags with me, I want to know what flavour I’ll get in advance. Flavour is the top priority for around 12% of consumers. |

A good choice if you want to decide how much to have with your lunch; the product description lists a 275 g pack and says the coated peanuts are ready to eat.

Not necessarily. The Duyvis multipack reviewed here contains 45 g bags; in its general nutritional table for coated peanuts, the Voedingscentrum uses a handful of 25 g. That general table doesn’t refer specifically to this Duyvis version.
Follow the storage advice on the exact pack. For the Duyvis multipack, Albert Heijn’s product page recommends storing it in a cool, dry place and keeping an opened bag in a light- and airtight container. For AH Borrelnoten cocktail, Albert Heijn says to close the pack securely after use.
‘Contains’ means an allergen is present; ‘may contain’ warns that it could be present due to cross-contamination. Albert Heijn’s product information for the Duyvis multipack reviewed here lists peanuts and wheat as present and warns of the possible presence of milk, nuts, soya and mustard. If you have a relevant allergy, always check the exact pack.
European labelling rules apply to prepacked foods, including rules on allergen information; allergens must be emphasised in the ingredients list. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority reported that, from 1 January 2026, its inspections would also check labels on prepacked products for warnings about cross-contamination.
Compare the total weight, the weight of each individual bag and how much you want to take with you. Also consider differences in flavour and ingredients: you’ll need to portion out a larger loose bag yourself and seal it well after opening.
