Choose small bags if you want to take nuts with you without any preparation, larger bags if you’ll be sharing them during a group break, or a bulk pack if you want to portion them yourself. Compare the number of individual packs separately from the stated number of servings, and check the ingredients and allergens. A fruit mix or seasoned nut mix isn’t the same as a plain, unsalted mix.
Want to take nuts with you for your morning coffee or lunchbox without much preparation? Compare the number of individual bags with the stated number of servings. Albert Heijn’s product information shows that these figures can differ.
For several group breaks, a box of larger bags can be handy if you want to portion the nuts yourself. That’s a different packaging option from small bags for sharing; for example, Foods & Goods lists a Duyvis box containing ten 125 g bags.
Want to decide how much to serve and prepare portions for coffee breaks or lunchboxes? A bulk pack could be right for you, provided you have time to weigh and pack the nuts and store them according to the instructions.
Start by thinking about when you’ll use them: taking them with you, sharing them or portioning them in advance. Then compare the serving information and ingredients to make sure the pack suits the people who’ll be eating the nuts.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Easy to take with you | Check the number of individual packs, the total weight and the stated servings separately. | If I want to take nuts to work or in a lunchbox without portioning them myself first, I look at both the individual bags and the serving information. Easy portability is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients | Check which nuts, fruit and flavourings are included, and whether the mix is salted or unsalted. | If I want a plain nut mix rather than fruit or flavourings, I start with the ingredients and then choose the pack size. Ingredients are the top priority for around 27% of consumers. |
| Sharing during breaks | Check how many bags are in the box, the weight of each bag and how much you want to use during a break. | If I’m putting nuts out for colleagues or housemates, I want to know whether a bag is large enough to share or whether I’ll need to portion it myself. Sharing is the top priority for around 27% of consumers. |
| Allergen information | Check the current ingredients and warnings on the pack, including information about cross-contamination. | When I take nuts for other people, I want to be able to check the listed allergens in advance and keep the packaging available. Allergen information is the top selection priority for around 13% of consumers. |
A mix with apricot and coconut may also list other allergens. For the apricot and coconut mix reviewed, Albert Heijn lists peanuts, certain nuts and sulphites, among other things.
If you’re sharing the nuts, keep the original packaging and check the current allergen information for everyone who’ll be eating them.
The Duyvis multipack listed by Foods & Goods contains ten 125 g bags. These are larger bags, not small single portions.
Choose this size if you want to portion the nuts yourself, and check the weight of each individual pack in advance. Bear in mind that portioning them yourself takes time and requires packaging materials.
The manufacturer lists Duyvis Unsalted Nutmix Walnut as a multipack of 4 × 30 g, but Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s Dutch product pages say that this product is no longer in their range.
So use those pages for information about the pack size, not as confirmation that you can order it from them now.
There are examples of small unsalted packs and multipacks containing larger bags.
The 3-packs reviewed combine nuts with dried fruit and are designed to take with you.
The range includes nut mixes for anyone comparing ingredients and pack sizes.
Lidl Netherlands has a product page for nut mix.
The range description mentions different types of nuts, with both salted and unsalted options.
The 500 g pack of unroasted, unsalted nuts is a bulk pack for portioning yourself.
These products suit different occasions: individual bags for when you’re out and about, larger packs to portion yourself and selections to share. One of the bundles shown also includes other snacks, so it isn’t made up of nuts alone.

A varied snack bundle to share if you’re looking for other snacks as well as nuts.
The product name lists a 5-pack of nuts and dried fruit. The product information also describes other types of snacks, so this pack doesn’t contain nuts alone.
No, the number of bags doesn’t have to match the stated number of servings. The Albert Heijn 3-packs reviewed contain 150 g and list six servings of 25 g; check the serving information on the pack you choose.
Always follow the instructions on the packaging first. For the fruit mixes reviewed, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a cool, dark and dry place and closing the pack securely. The Voedingscentrum’s storage guide advises that opened unsalted mixed nuts can be kept for six months in a kitchen cupboard or one year in the freezer; these timeframes aren’t a product guarantee for every fruit or seasoned mix.
No, a small pack doesn’t automatically mean a product is suitable for young children. The Albert Heijn products reviewed carry a choking hazard warning, so don’t rely on the packaging as proof that they’re suitable.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be clearly and correctly stated on the label. New rules for food businesses on warnings about possible cross-contamination have also been in force since 1 January 2026. Always check the current information on the label of the specific pack.
Albert Heijn’s safety warning applies specifically to AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. Albert Heijn has asked consumers not to eat the product because it may contain metal particles. This warning doesn’t automatically apply to the AH nut multipacks discussed here.
