Who are these packs for?

People handing out snacks at coffee breaks

You want to know in advance how many sealed packs you can hand out, without having to portion them during the break. For Unsalted Nutmix Cranberry, Duyvis lists a multipack of 4 × 30 g; Jumbo has also listed a 4 × 30 g Walnut pack.

Lunchbox and on-the-go snackers

You’re looking for a sealed portion to take with you and want to choose between nuts on their own or a mix with fruit and seeds. Duyvis describes the Cranberry variety as suitable for home and on the go. Jumbo warns that young children could choke on the whole nuts in its unroasted nut mix.

Those who portion their own

You want to decide for yourself how many nuts to serve or put in a lunchbox. Lidl, ALDI and PLUS list larger bags, which aren’t the same as a multipack of individual portions.

What should you look for when buying?

A 200 g or 500 g bag isn’t automatically a multipack: check whether it contains individual bags. Compare the number of inner bags and the weight of each one separately.

What to consider What to look for Who is this important for?
Sealed portions Check the number of inner bags and the weight of each one; the total weight alone doesn’t tell you how many portions you can hand out. If I want to hand out or take bags with me without weighing them in advance, convenience is my top priority. Around 33% of consumers put quick distribution and portability first.
Ingredients Read the ingredients for the exact variety. A mix with fruit and seeds is different from a mix containing only nuts. If I don’t want raisins or seeds in my nut mix, I check the ingredients rather than just the product name. Around 27% of consumers give ingredients top priority.
Stock and portion size Compare the total weight with the amount you want to serve at a time; you’ll need to portion a larger bag yourself. For regular use, I want to choose a pack size that suits how much I actually serve and can store. Around 20% of consumers prioritise stock and portion size.
Allergens and use Read the ingredients and warnings on the current pack. If you’re sharing, also consider who will be eating them and the texture of whole nuts. If I’m sharing bags with others, I want to be able to check the product information for each person. Around 20% of consumers prioritise individual suitability and safe use.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming a small bag is suitable for everyone

    An individual bag doesn’t change the ingredients or the texture of whole nuts. Jumbo warns that young children could choke on the whole nuts in its unroasted nut mix.

    Before handing them out, check the allergen information and product warnings for the exact variety, and consider who will be eating them.

  • Mistaking a larger pack for a multipack

    A listing of 200 g or 500 g describes the contents of one bag. It doesn’t confirm that the bag contains several sealed portions.

    If you want to hand out sealed portions, look for both the number of individual inner bags and the weight of each bag.

  • Looking only at the total weight

    A 500 g pack and a multipack of 4 × 30 g differ in both total weight and the number of individual packs. Their ingredients may also differ.

    Compare the packaging and ingredients separately, then decide which size suits your needs.

Comparing brands and supermarket own brands

Duyvis

For Unsalted Nutmix Cranberry, Duyvis lists a multipack of 4 × 30 g. Jumbo has also listed Unsalted Nutmix Walnut in 4 × 30 g packs.

  • According to Duyvis, the Cranberry variety contains cranberries, raisins and pumpkin seeds as well as nuts.
  • Jumbo stated that the Walnut variety had been removed from its online range; this doesn’t confirm that it’s currently available.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists 500 g and 200 g bags of unsalted nut mix, and has product listings for Duyvis multipacks.

  • The bag sizes mentioned are worth considering if you want to portion the nuts yourself.
  • The own-brand bag weights listed don’t confirm that AH sells a multipack of individual bags; keep the AH own brand and Duyvis as a brand separate.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists a 200 g own-brand Noten Mix Ongezouten and has also previously listed a Duyvis Walnut multipack.

  • The own-brand listing gives you a size option if you want to portion the nuts yourself.
  • The 200 g listing isn’t a multipack; the Duyvis page stated that this product had been removed from the online range.

Lidl

Lidl Netherlands lists a 200 g bag of unroasted, unsalted Notenmix.

  • The bag size is an option if you want to portion the nuts yourself.
  • The product page says ‘In store only’; a single bag doesn’t offer the same convenience for handing out as individual portion packs.

ALDI

ALDI Netherlands lists a 500 g bag of unsalted Notenmelange under the Trader Joe’s range.

  • The product description names almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and Brazil nuts.
  • The listed size is a larger bag, not a collection of individually wrapped portions.

PLUS

PLUS lists a 500 g stand-up pouch of unroasted, unsalted Notenmix.

  • The name and size make this a relevant option if you want to portion the nuts yourself.
  • A stand-up pouch isn’t a collection of sealed portion packs; check the ingredients on the exact pack.

Frequently asked questions

Is a larger bag of nuts the same as a multipack?

No. A listing of 200 g or 500 g per bag describes the contents of a single pack; a label such as 4 × 30 g refers to individual portions. Check both details if you want to hand out sealed bags.

How should I store nuts after opening a larger bag?

First, follow the storage advice on the pack. Nut retailer Versenoten recommends storing its nuts in an airtight container in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This isn’t a product-specific shelf-life guarantee for other brands.

Are individual bags of nuts automatically suitable for a young child’s lunchbox?

No. The packaging doesn’t change the texture of whole nuts. Jumbo warns that young children could choke on the whole nuts in its unroasted nut mix; bear this warning in mind, regardless of how convenient a portion pack may be.

What do the Dutch rules on allergen warnings mean?

The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that, since 1 January 2026, rules have applied to warnings about allergens that may be unintentionally present due to cross-contamination. This is an obligation for food businesses, not proof that a product is suitable for someone with an allergy. Read the current ingredients and warnings for the exact variety.
