Choose individual packs if convenience and avoiding the need to weigh them are your priorities, but don’t assume that a small pack means the contents are low in fat. The Duyvis Provençale multipack contains 20 packs of 45 g; for solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g for a ‘low fat’ claim, while Bidfood Nederland and Makro Nederland list 35 g and 39 g per 100 g respectively for this pack format. Weighing them out yourself gives you more control over portion size, but takes preparation and doesn’t change the fat content per 100 g.
You want to compare cocktail nuts by their total fat content, not just by pack size. Bidfood Nederland lists 35 g of fat per 100 g and Makro Nederland 39 g for the specified Duyvis Provençale pack format; both figures are above the European threshold for a ‘low fat’ claim.
You’re looking for individual packs that you can take with you without weighing them out first. The Duyvis Provençale box contains 20 packs of 45 g, according to product information from HANOS Nederland; the convenience of this packaging says nothing in itself about its nutritional suitability.
You’re happy to weigh out your own portions and want to choose the amount yourself. Jumbo and PLUS both list a 300 g bag of cocktail nuts; weighing out portions from a bag like this does involve an extra step.
First decide whether you want individual packs to take with you or would rather weigh out your own portions. Then compare the label: the pack size doesn’t tell you how much fat the product contains per 100 g.
| What to consider | What to look for when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Fat content and portion size | Compare total fat per 100 g, then consider your own portion. For solid foods, the ‘low fat’ claim requires a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g (European Commission). | I want to take my fat intake into account when choosing, rather than looking only at the pack size; around 39% of consumers say fat intake is their top priority. |
| Individual packs | Check how many individual packs there are and the weight of each one. The Duyvis Provençale pack contains 20 packs of 45 g (HANOS Nederland). | I want individual packs for my lunchbox, so I don’t have to weigh them out first; around 31% of consumers say convenience on the go is their top priority. |
| Portioning them yourself | Consider whether you want to weigh out portions in advance and use your own container to take them with you. | I want to choose the amount myself and am happy to do a little extra preparation; around 15% of consumers say portioning their own snacks is their top priority. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging for the flavour and variant you’ve chosen. | If allergens are a deciding factor for me or the person I’m buying for, I check the specific variant; around 15% of consumers put allergen suitability first. |
The ‘low fat’ claim for solid foods is based on fat content per 100 g, not the size of a portion pack. The Duyvis declarations we found are above the 3 g per 100 g threshold set out by the European Commission.
Compare total fat per 100 g first, then consider how much you’ll eat.
The Duyvis Provençale packs we looked at each contain 45 g. That’s the pack contents, not a recommended portion for you.
Decide in advance how much you want to eat, then choose between a pre-portioned pack and weighing out your own.
Bidfood Nederland lists 35 g of fat per 100 g and Makro Nederland 39 g for the same specified pack format. These aren’t a single, combined product specification.
Use the full nutrition declaration on the pack you buy, and don’t average figures from different declarations.

An option if you’re looking for Duyvis cocktail nuts; the product name specifies Poeta and 275 g.
For solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g. The requirement for the claim isn’t based on the size of a portion pack.
At 45 g per pack, the Bidfood Nederland declaration of 35 g of fat per 100 g works out at 15,75 g of fat per pack. The Makro Nederland declaration of 39 g per 100 g works out at 17,55 g. These calculations are based on two separate declarations; use the nutrition information on the pack you buy.
No, 45 g is the amount in a pack, not a recommendation for your portion. If you want to decide how much to eat, you can weigh it out rather than automatically having a whole pack.
Bidfood Nederland lists peanuts, gluten and wheat as allergens present, and notes that the variant described may contain milk, mustard, nuts and soya. Check the latest ingredients and allergen information on the packaging for the flavour you choose.
The product information for Duyvis Provençale recommends storing it in a cool, dry place. For an opened pack, it recommends a container that keeps out light and air.
