Choose individual packs if you want to take or hand out a sealed snack without portioning it yourself: the Duyvis Provençale 20-pack contains 20 packs of 45 g, 900 g in total. For a shared snack, a single bag may be a better fit; match the total quantity to what you’ll actually use, and check the ingredients and allergens. A handy lunchbox size doesn’t automatically make a product a suitable everyday choice for school.
If you want to have a separate sealed pack ready for different snack times without weighing out portions yourself, the number of packs and the amount in each one matter. Albert Heijn lists the Duyvis Provençale 20-pack as containing 20 packs of 45 g. If you’re packing a lunchbox for a primary-school child, the school food guidance from the Voedingscentrum is another important consideration.
If you’re mainly topping up for one shared snack and don’t need individual portions, compare the total amount in a standard bag. Jumbo lists cocktail nuts in 300 g bags and 500 g multipacks, among other options.
If you don’t want to buy more stock than you’ll use, compare the total amount in a multipack with that of smaller individual bags. The Duyvis 20-pack contains 900 g; Jumbo also lists individual Duyvis bags in sizes such as 125 g.
A good fit when: you want to take or hand out a sealed pack on several occasions. The Duyvis Provençale 20-pack contains 20 packs of 45 g.
Bear in mind: the total amount is 900 g, even if you only need a few packs.
A good fit when: you’re topping up for one shared snack and don’t need individual portions. Jumbo lists 300 g bags and 500 g multipacks, among other options.
Bear in mind: a multipack or value pack doesn’t automatically contain smaller, individually wrapped bags.
A good fit when: you want to choose the total amount for each top-up yourself. Jumbo lists Duyvis bags in sizes such as 125 g, 275 g and 450 g.
Bear in mind: you’re putting this purchase together yourself; the individual bags aren’t a factory-made multipack with pre-portioned servings.
First, choose between individually sealed portions and one bag to share. Then match the total amount to how you’ll use it, and check the ingredients for the exact variety.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual packs | Check both the number of packs and the amount in each one; remember to count the total amount too. | If you want to take or hand out sealed packs for different occasions, the number and size of each pack both matter; around 36% of consumers prioritise individual portions. |
| Amount to share | Compare the bag size with the amount you want for your shared snack. | If you’re mainly topping up for one snack occasion and don’t need packs to take with you, choosing an amount that suits everyone is key; around 29% of consumers prioritise sharing. |
| Stock for a small top-up | Compare the total weight of the multipack with the combined amount in any individual bags. | If you don’t want to buy more stock than you’ll use for a small top-up, the total amount is what matters; around 21% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Ingredients and lunchbox use | Read the current label for the exact variety, and assess a school lunch separately from the convenience of the packaging. | If ingredients, a relevant allergy or the lunchbox context matter, check the product information for the person who’ll be eating it first; around 14% of consumers make this their main priority. |
An individual pack and the stated product portion don’t prove that the product is recommended for everyday school lunches.
If you’re buying for a primary-school child, consider the product alongside the school food guidance from the Voedingscentrum; don’t let the pack size be the only deciding factor.
The Duyvis Provençale 20-pack contains 900 g in total: 20 packs of 45 g.
Before you buy, count how many snack occasions you want to cater for and compare the total amount with what you need.
The 500 g Jumbo packs and the Duyvis pack of 20 x 45 g have different packaging formats.
If you’re buying snacks to take with you, look for packs that are explicitly listed as individual portions. A large sharing bag needs extra preparation if you want to portion it out yourself.
For the Duyvis Provençale pack reviewed, Sligro lists peanuts and wheat/gluten as allergens present, and soya, nuts, mustard and milk as possibly present.
Check the current label on the exact variety for the person who’ll be eating it, including any warnings about cross-contamination. The NVWA states that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products.
If you’re looking for individual portions, the Provençale 20-pack is a specific option: 20 packs of 45 g, 900 g in total.
The supermarket lists both the Duyvis Provençale 20-pack and its own 500 g bag of cocktail nuts.
Jumbo lists its own-brand cocktail nuts in 300 g bags and 500 g value packs, among other sizes, as well as individual Duyvis bags.
Lidl lists cocktail nuts as a product category.
The Dutch ALDI product page lists 300 g cocktail nuts under the Trader Joe's brand.
PLUS lists Mild Cocktail Nuts in a 300 g bag.
This Joybuy pick is a bag of cocktail nuts for sharing, not a multipack of individual portions.

The product description presents these seasoned cocktail nuts as a snack to share.
Pack size: 275 g. The product information states that it contains 51% peanuts.
Allergens listed: peanuts, milk, gluten (wheat) and celery. May contain traces of soya, mustard and other nuts.
No, those packaging descriptions don’t mean the same thing. Jumbo lists 500 g value packs; the Duyvis 20-pack is described as 20 packs of 45 g. Check both the number of inner packs and the amount in each one.
No. Albert Heijn lists 45 g as the product portion, but that isn’t a personal nutritional recommendation. For primary-school children, the Voedingscentrum recommends food and drink from the Schijf van Vijf at school; so consider the pack size separately from your choice of school lunch.
For the pack reviewed, Sligro lists peanuts and wheat/gluten as allergens present, and soya, nuts, mustard and milk as possibly present. Read the label on the pack you buy, as product information can change.
The NVWA states that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. The NVWA also states that new Dutch rules for warnings about possible allergen cross-contamination, known as PAL, apply from 1 January 2026. These requirements apply to food businesses; they don’t mean that every individual product has been tested for compliance.
First compare the total amount you’ll be buying. The Duyvis 20-pack contains 900 g, while Jumbo also lists individual Duyvis bags in sizes such as 125 g. This lets you match the pack size to what you need for the occasions you have planned.
