Want to take a separate sachet for your morning break without weighing it out first? Check the number of sachets and the amount in each one. The Dutch Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4; older children can also choke on them.

| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Convenience on the go | Check that the pack really contains individual sachets, rather than several portions in one pack. | If you want to pop something straight into your lunchbox for your morning break, not having to weigh it out matters; around 27% of consumers prioritise snacks that are ready to take with them. |
| Quantity and ingredients | Compare the amount in each sachet and check whether the product is unsalted or seasoned. The Duyvis Walnut sachets contain 30 g; the Provencale sachets contain 45 g, according to Duyvis and Foods & Goods respectively. | If you want an amount that suits your snack break and are mindful of the ingredients, portioning it yourself is another option; around 27% of consumers prioritise quantity and ingredients. |
| Sachets to share | Count the snack breaks or recipients you need to cater for, then check the number of sachets. According to Foods & Goods, the Provencale box contains twenty 45 g sachets. | If you’re taking snacks for a group, the number of individual packs is key; around 20% of consumers make sharing their top priority. |
| Cost and stock | Compare packs with the same total quantity and factor in any relevant delivery costs. Choose a larger stock-up to suit how much you use and the product’s storage advice. | If you prefer to keep some in stock and portion it yourself, compare the total cost with how much you expect to use; around 13% of consumers prioritise cost and stock. |
| Suitability for the recipient | If you have allergies, check the ingredients and warnings on the current packaging. For a child’s lunchbox, whether the nuts are whole is also a consideration. | If you’re catering for someone with an allergy or packing a child’s lunchbox, the label and the form of the nuts are important; around 13% of consumers prioritise suitability for the recipient. |
Individual packaging doesn’t change the choking risk posed by whole nuts or peanuts.
Don’t give whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4. Older children can also choke on them; the Dutch Nutrition Centre advises eating slowly at the table and supervising children while they eat.

No. A sachet is a pack size, not necessarily a personal portion. The Duyvis products mentioned come in 30 g or 45 g sachets; the Dutch Nutrition Centre uses a handful of 25 g of unsalted nuts as a general nutritional reference. Compare these amounts with what you want to take with you.
Not without considering the child’s age and the form of the nuts. The Dutch Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4; older children can also choke on them. Check the school’s policy before packing nuts for your child, too.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging; peanuts and tree nuts are separate allergen categories. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed products. Since 1 January 2026, the NVWA has also been checking warnings about cross-contamination. Label information doesn’t automatically mean a product is suitable for everyone with an allergy.
Follow the label and storage advice for the exact product. For opened unsalted cashew nuts, the Dutch Nutrition Centre gives a storage time of six months in a kitchen cupboard and one year in the freezer; don’t automatically apply these times to other nut mixes or seasoned products. Rancid, chewy or mouldy cashew nuts are signs that they’ve gone off.
You can’t tell from the pack name alone. Compare current total prices for the same quantity, factor in any relevant delivery costs and consider how many individual sachets you’ll actually use.
