If you have coeliac disease, first check whether the information for the exact variant confirms that it’s a suitable gluten-free choice. A brand name or small pack is no guarantee. Then decide how much you want to take for each snack break: a sealed, factory-packed portion saves you having to transfer the snacks at home, while portioning them yourself calls for extra care.
You want to check first whether the ingredients and warnings for the exact variant are suitable for someone with coeliac disease. The Dutch Coeliac Society (NCV) notes that cocktail nuts are usually not gluten-free.
You want to prepare a single snack break and distinguish between the net weight of a bag and the amount you actually want to eat. Jumbo lists Duyvis packs of 125 g, among other options.
You’d rather take a measured amount with you and want to transfer and store it carefully. The NCV emphasises using clean equipment when serving nuts; also follow the storage instructions for your chosen variant.
If you have coeliac disease, check the exact variant and packaging first. Once you’ve confirmed it’s a suitable choice, you can weigh up pack size and convenience.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten-free suitability | Read the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the exact pack. The NCV notes that cocktail nuts are usually not gluten-free. | I want to know above all whether the exact flavour and coating are suitable; for around 36% of consumers, confidence in the label is their top buying priority. |
| A single snack break | Check the net weight and whether any inner bags are individually sealed. Jumbo lists Duyvis packs of 125 g; that weight doesn’t tell you how much you want to eat in one snack break. | When I take a snack with me, I want to choose an amount that matches what I’ll actually eat; around 29% of consumers prioritise the convenience of having a separate snack portion. |
| Careful portioning and storage | Use clean equipment when transferring the snacks, store them separately from products containing gluten and follow the instructions for your chosen variant. The NCV emphasises serving nuts with clean equipment. | When I portion snacks myself, I want to handle them hygienically and store them separately; careful portioning and storage are the top priorities for around 21% of consumers. |
| Quantity and preparation | Compare the net weight with the amount you want to take for each snack break, and consider whether you’d rather take a sealed pack or portion it yourself. | If the product is suitable, I mainly want to know how much I’ll be taking and how much preparation it requires; for around 14% of consumers, this is their first priority. |
With cocktail nuts, the crunchy coating is also part of the exact product variant. The NCV notes that cocktail nuts are usually not gluten-free. For the Duyvis Borrelnootjes Cocktail described by HANOS, gluten is listed as an allergen. This product information applies to that variant.
Check the ingredients and allergens for the entire pack, and don’t base your choice on the name or the peanut alone.
125 g is a net weight found on some packs, not confirmation of a recommended portion. The pack may contain more than you want for one snack break.
Compare the net weight with the amount you want to take, then decide whether to keep the bag sealed or portion it yourself.

Check the current information for the exact flavour and pack every time you buy it, even if it’s a brand you know well.

Gluten-free claims are covered by European rules on gluten-free information. The European Commission explains that these rules set the conditions under which food can be labelled gluten-free or very low in gluten. AOECS states that its gluten-free certification allows a maximum of 20 ppm of gluten; a certification mark is not the same as a product name alone.
No. An ingredient is deliberately used in the product, while a warning about possible cross-contamination indicates a potential risk. The NCV explains that such a warning doesn’t mean every individual pack actually contains gluten. Check the information on the exact pack.
No. The 125 g figure confirms the net weight, not that the bag is a single portion. Decide how much you want to take, then choose between keeping the pack sealed and portioning the snacks yourself.
At most, use a list like that to help you find a product, then check the current packaging for the exact variant. The NCV warns that ingredients can change. If anything in the product information is unclear, contact the supermarket or manufacturer with the product name and packaging to hand.
Only portion a product if you’ve confirmed that the exact variant is suitable, and use clean equipment. The NCV emphasises serving nuts with clean equipment. Store the snack separately from products containing gluten and follow the storage instructions for your chosen variant.
