No. For the Jumbo Cocktail Coated Peanuts value pack, 25 g is the stated serving size used for the nutritional table and the count of 20 servings; it isn’t personalised sports nutrition advice.
Follow the instructions on the pack for your version. Jumbo advises storing it in a cool, dry, dark place; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping nuts dry and in a well-sealed container.
Check the current label for the exact version. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products; ingredients and warnings may vary by product and flavour.
Compare the price per kilo for the exact version, then check whether the pack size suits your household. A smaller pack may mean less to store, but the pack size alone doesn’t tell you what you’re paying per kilo.
