For a single afternoon break, it’s more important to check the portion size than to focus only on finding a small bag: the checked 125 g Duyvis bags contain several portions. If you want to reseal the pack after your break, look for a version that’s explicitly described as resealable. If you want to take just one portion with you, measure it out in advance and follow the storage instructions for the remainder. Then choose according to the flavour and the ingredients and allergen information for that specific version.
You only want to take as much as you plan to eat during one afternoon break. That makes the pack weight and stated portion size more useful for comparison than the word ‘small’ on a bag. Jumbo’s product information lists four to five portions for Duyvis Cocktail 125 g.
You want to snack straight from the retail pack and seal the rest afterwards. Albert Heijn describes the packaging for AH Borrelnoten cocktail as easy to reseal; according to AH, the pack still contains several portions.
You want to divide a larger bag at home for separate snack breaks. Check the number of portions and how to store the remainder. Jumbo lists twelve 25 g portions for Jumbo Borrelnoten Cocktail 300 g.
First, compare how much you want to take for each break with the number of portions on the pack. Then check how to reseal and store it, and finally look at the flavour and ingredients of your chosen version.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this for? |
|---|---|---|
| Amount per break | Check the weight in grams, the stated portion size and the number of portions. The 125 g Duyvis Cocktail bag lists four to five portions. | If I want to take one measured portion with me, I want to know how much is in the bag without treating the whole bag as one portion; around 29% of consumers prioritise portion size. |
| Resealing the pack | Look for an explicit statement that the pack is resealable, and follow the storage instructions after opening. AH describes its Cocktail pack as easy to reseal. | If I want to store the rest in the same pack after my break, I look for a closure designed for that purpose; around 29% of consumers prioritise convenient packaging. |
| Several snack breaks | Check the number of portions and plan how you’ll take one with you and store the remainder. Jumbo Cocktail 300 g lists twelve 25 g portions. | If I want to divide a larger bag between several breaks, I want to know in advance how many portions it contains and how to store the rest; around 21% of consumers prioritise planning for several portions. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Check the flavour, ingredients list and any cross-contamination warnings. Compare nutritional values only for the same quantity. | If I’m looking for a particular flavour or need to take an ingredient into account, I check the label for that exact version; around 21% of consumers prioritise flavour and ingredients. |
According to Jumbo, the 125 g Duyvis Cocktail pack contains four to five portions. So the size of the bag doesn’t tell you how much to take for one break.
Decide how much you want in advance and check the number of portions on the pack.
The checked Duyvis Cocktail and Provencale versions have different allergen information. A ‘may contain’ statement does not confirm that a product is free from that allergen.
Read the ingredients list and warnings on the pack of the version you’re actually buying. The NVWA explains that relevant allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredients list under labelling rules.
A pack containing several portions means measuring them out and storing them. For an opened bag of Duyvis Cocktail, the product information recommends an airtight, lightproof container.
Choose a pack you can reseal after use, or have a suitable sealed container for storage or taking a portion with you.
A separate sealed container may take up extra room in your bag or cupboard.
Voedingscentrum uses 25 g as a handful for average category data. The checked Duyvis product pages list 30 g as an average portion; these amounts are not directly comparable.
Compare values per 100 g or convert products to the same quantity. Don’t treat average category data as exact brand-specific information.
The checked 125 g Duyvis Cocktail and Provencale retail bags are worth considering if you’re looking for a smaller bag and want to get several portions from one pack.

No. Jumbo lists four to five portions for Duyvis Cocktail 125 g, with an average portion size of 30 g. The pack weight and the amount for one snack break aren’t the same thing.
Follow the instructions on the pack for your chosen version. The product information for Duyvis Cocktail and Provencale recommends storing an opened bag in an airtight, lightproof container. For AH Cocktail, Albert Heijn recommends sealing the pack carefully after use and storing it in a cool, dark and dry place.
Read the ingredients list and any warnings on the pack for the specific version. According to the NVWA, relevant allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredients list; a ‘may contain’ warning does not confirm that the product is free from that allergen.
Compare values per 100 g or use the same quantity for both products. Voedingscentrum uses 25 g as a handful for average category data, while the checked Duyvis product pages list 30 g as an average portion. These amounts aren’t directly comparable, and average category data isn’t exact brand-specific information.
No. Voedingscentrum warns that whole nuts and peanuts can pose a choking risk. It advises children to eat while sitting calmly and for an adult to stay nearby; a small pack doesn’t automatically make the product suitable.
