For a night shift, individual portion bags are handy if you want to take a set amount with you without any preparation: the Duyvis Provençale 20-pack at Albert Heijn contains 20 bags of 45 g each. If you’d rather decide how much to take, choose a larger bag and weigh out your portion in advance; for example, the Jumbo product page lists an average portion of 30 g for the 125 g bag of Duyvis Provençale. Always check the label of the exact variant for ingredients and allergens; seasoned coated peanuts are not the same as the unsalted nuts recommended by the Voedingscentrum.
You’re looking for individual bags you can simply grab before you leave. The Duyvis Provençale 20-pack at Albert Heijn contains 20 bags of 45 g each; check whether that amount suits your snack break. (Albert Heijn product information)
You want to weigh out the amount for each break yourself and can prepare at home. Jumbo’s product page lists an average portion of 30 g for the 125 g bag of Duyvis Provençale, so the total bag contents and the portion size are two different things.
You’re mainly concerned about ingredients, allergens or nutritional values. Check the exact variant: the Duyvis Provençale and AH Cocktail products mentioned have different ingredient and allergen information. (Jumbo and Albert Heijn product information)
Choose this when: you don’t want to weigh anything before you leave and would like a separate bag for each snack break.

The trade-off: you’ll need to prepare in advance and think about how to store the opened pack.

The 125 g bag of Duyvis Provençale lists an average portion of 30 g. Looking only at the total contents of the bag could therefore give you the wrong impression of how much you’ll have at each snack break.
Check the portion size and the number of individual bags separately. If you want to take one portion with you, choose an individual bag or weigh out your own amount at home.
A similar product name or flavour doesn’t mean the ingredients and warnings are the same. For example, the AH Cocktail and Duyvis Provençale products mentioned do not have the same allergen information.
Read the ingredients list and any cross-contamination warnings on the packaging of the product you’re actually buying.
The products mentioned list portion sizes of 25 g, 30 g and 45 g. This means nutritional values per portion aren’t directly comparable.
Compare the values per 100 g first, then consider how much you want to take with you.
The Provençale range is available in different pack sizes; the manufacturer lists options including 45 g and 125 g.
