Choose individual portion bags if you want to hand out cocktail nuts in advance or take them along unopened; with a sharing bag, you decide how much to serve. The confirmed Duyvis Provençale box contains 20 bags of 45 g, while a value pack doesn’t necessarily contain individual bags. Also check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour; a portion bag isn’t nutritional advice for children.
If you want to hand out portions in advance or take a sealed bag in a lunchbox, check how many individual bags there are and how much each one weighs. Foods & Goods lists 20 bags of 45 g for the Duyvis Provençale box.
If you serve cocktail nuts in bowls and want to decide how much to put out, a sharing bag or value pack suits this style of serving. Jumbo lists packs of 300 g and 500 g, among others; a value pack isn’t necessarily a multipack of individual bags.
If you’re considering flavour, allergens or whether children can eat them, check the information for the exact variant. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags | Check that there really are individual bags inside, how many there are and how many grams each bag contains. | If you want to hand out bags or take them along unopened, the number of bags and weight per bag are key. Around 36% of consumers give packaging convenience top priority. |
| Cost and portioning yourself | Compare the net weight and check how many individual bags there are before comparing packs. | If you want to fill bowls yourself and adjust the amount, it’s important to know the total contents. Around 29% of consumers prioritise cost and the flexibility to portion them out. |
| Ingredients for your guests | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the exact variant; consider whether it’s suitable for children separately. | If you’re catering for allergies or packing a child’s lunchbox, suitability matters more than the convenience of a bag. Around 21% of consumers put ingredients and suitability first. |
| Flavour for your cupboard | Check whether the individual bags all contain the same flavour and whether it suits the people eating them. | If you’re buying several bags for different people, you’ll want to know which flavour is in the box before you buy. Around 14% of consumers make flavour preference their top consideration. |
The weight of a packaged bag doesn’t tell you how much a child needs. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking.
Consider age and snack choice separately from the convenience of the packaging. Follow the dietary advice appropriate for your child’s age.
The net weight or the words ‘value pack’ don’t confirm that a pack contains separate, sealed portions. Portioning it yourself takes preparation, and you’ll need a suitable way to reseal and store the rest.
Check the number of individual bags and the weight per bag specifically. If these details aren’t on the packaging, don’t assume it contains individual portions.
Several bags in one box may all contain the same flavour. Duyvis describes the confirmed box of 20 × 45 g as Provençale.
Check which flavour the exact product contains before choosing several bags for different people.

No. For a pack to count as a multipack of individual portions, it needs to list separate bags inside. According to Foods & Goods, the Duyvis Provençale box contains 20 bags of 45 g; Jumbo also lists value packs, but doesn’t confirm that they contain individual portion bags.
Consider the snack separately from its packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking. For everyday snacks, follow the dietary advice for your child’s age.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging of the variant you bought. PLUS advises storing its cocktail nuts in a cool, dry and dark place; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping nuts well sealed and dry.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the exact variant. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must be shown on the label of pre-packed products; a different flavour or pack may have a different composition.
No. A vegan label doesn’t replace the allergen information. PLUS labels its Oriental style as vegan; if you have allergies, always check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging of that specific product.
