If you want to pop something into your lunchbox without weighing it, choose individual mini packs. Duyvis Provençale is one confirmed option, sold in a box of 20 × 45 g bags. A larger bag is better if you want to decide how much to take and can portion it in advance. Treat coated peanuts as an extra: the Dutch Nutrition Centre places them outside the Wheel of Five.
Want to get snacks ready for several night shifts and take a separate bag rather than weighing out a portion each time? The Duyvis Provençale box of 20 × 45 g bags is a specific example of this type of packaging. Foods & Goods lists the individual bags; check the current packaging before you buy.
Would you rather keep a larger bag and take your own portion for each shift? Check the total weight, and bear in mind that you’ll need to portion and store it yourself. Jumbo lists coated peanuts in larger 500 g packs, among other options.
If peanuts, wheat or other allergens are a concern for you, check the ingredients and warnings on the exact flavour and pack you’re considering. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains allergen labelling on food packaging.
First, decide whether you want individual bags or would rather portion the snacks yourself. Then check the quantity, ingredients and information on the packaging.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags to take with you | Check how many inner bags there are and the weight of each one. A multipack isn’t necessarily a box of small portions. | Want to get bags ready for several shifts without weighing anything out? Convenience is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Amount per snack break | Check the weight of each bag, or decide for yourself how much to take from a larger bag. Pack size isn’t personal dietary advice. | Want to decide how much to take without using the pack size as a guide? The amount is the top priority for around 27% of consumers. |
| Stock for several shifts | Compare the total weight and number of packs, and check whether you’ll need to portion the snacks yourself. A larger bag doesn’t automatically contain individual bags to take with you. | Want to have enough ready for several shifts? The total quantity is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and warnings for the exact flavour and pack. Don’t assume the information for another variety applies. | Do you need to avoid certain ingredients or possible cross-contamination? Clear allergen information is the top priority for around 13% of consumers. |
| Flavour | Choose the flavour once you’ve found a pack and ingredients that suit you. A larger bag of one flavour gives you less choice between varieties. | Found a suitable pack and ingredients list, and is flavour the deciding factor? Flavour is the top priority for around 7% of consumers. |
The Dutch Nutrition Centre places coated peanuts outside the Wheel of Five, while unsalted nuts are included. So a small bag of coated peanuts isn’t automatically a substitute for unsalted nuts or a suitable portion for everyone.
The number of packs and the weight of each pack are two different things. A 500 g value pack is not the same as a box of individual bags.
Look for an explicit mention of individual bags and check the weight of each one.
With a large bag, you’ll need to portion it yourself and take a container if you want to prepare portions in advance.
The weight of a bag tells you about the packaging, not what you should eat during a shift. The Dutch Nutrition Centre places coated peanuts outside the Wheel of Five.
Decide for yourself whether the amount suits your snack break, and treat coated peanuts as an extra.
Ingredients in the crunchy coating and warnings about the possible presence of other allergens may also be relevant. Information can vary between flavours and packs.
Check the ingredients list and warnings on the pack you’re actually planning to buy.
A box of individual bags is ready to take with you; with a large bag, you’ll need to portion it yourself. So the number of packs alone tells you little about the total weight or convenience.
Compare the total weight, the number of individual bags and the amount in each bag.

No, you can’t tell from that label alone. Check the weight of each inner pack. Duyvis Provençale in 20 × 45 g bags is one specific example of individual bags, listed by Foods & Goods.
The Dutch Nutrition Centre places coated peanuts outside the Wheel of Five, while unsalted nuts are included. So don’t treat the packaging as advice on a daily portion or as a reason to replace unsalted nuts.
Keep them in a well-sealed container and follow the instructions on the packaging. The Dutch Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a cool place where possible; PLUS advises keeping its Borrelnoten Mild cool, dry and dark.
The product information we checked for Duyvis Provençale 20 × 45 g lists peanuts and wheat, and warns that it may contain milk, soya, mustard and various nuts. Check the current packaging if you need to avoid certain ingredients; don’t rely on information for another flavour or pack.
Choose individual bags if you want to get snacks ready for several shifts without weighing out portions yourself. A larger bag is a good fit if you want to decide your own portion size and can store the rest properly. Compare the total weight and the number of packs.
