If you want to take a snack with you without measuring it out at home, Duyvis offers a box of twenty individually wrapped 45 g bags. The Jumbo and AH mixes covered here come in larger packs that you can portion out yourself. Then choose according to whether you prefer unsalted nuts, seasoned peanuts or nuts with raisins, and check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack.
You want to take an individually wrapped bag with you and value convenience over measuring out a portion at home. Check how many bags you have to buy at once. Albert Heijn’s product information describes the Duyvis version as twenty 45 g bags, with one portion in each inner pack.
You want to decide how much unsalted nuts to take and don’t mind portioning out a larger pack at home. Also check how the ingredients are prepared: the Jumbo mix covered here contains both roasted and unroasted ingredients.
You’re choosing mainly based on the ingredients, for example, looking for a mix without a crunchy coating, with raisins or with allergen information clearly provided. Compare the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack; a familiar product name is no substitute for checking.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| A portion to take with you | Check the number of inner packs and the weight of each bag; a serving size on the label doesn’t automatically mean there’s a separate bag for each portion. | If I want to grab a snack on the go without measuring it out at home, I check the inner packaging and the amount in each bag. Around 31% of consumers say convenience for taking a snack with them is their top priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens. Ask about allergen information before buying unpackaged snacks. | Anyone who wants to check the ingredients and possible cross-contamination carefully needs clear product information. Around 13% of consumers give this check the highest priority. |
| Salt and preparation method | Check the salt content per 100 g and whether the nuts are roasted or unroasted; these terms don’t mean the same thing. | If I’m looking for an unsalted snack, I also want to know how the nuts have been prepared. Around 25% of consumers put an unsalted mix at the top of their list. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Compare the stated percentages of nuts, peanuts and fruit. ‘No added sugar’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘sugar-free’. | For consumers who want, for example, a seasoned coating or raisins, the proportions of the ingredients matter. Around 19% put flavour and ingredients first when choosing. |
| Total amount you’re buying | Compare the total contents and number of bags; consider whether you want to store and use the rest of a larger pack. | If I only need a few snacks, I want to avoid buying more than I plan to take with me. Around 12% of consumers consider the total amount they’re buying most important. |
The 200 g Jumbo mix lists eight portions and the 400 g AH mix lists sixteen portions. That doesn’t mean the contents come in eight or sixteen separate bags; the Duyvis version is specifically labelled as twenty 45 g bags.
Before buying, check the inner packaging, the weight of each pack and the total amount you’re buying.
The Duyvis Provencale covered here contains 50% peanuts and a crunchy coating. The AH nut and raisin mix contains 40% raisins. These are different mixes, not just different names for the same snack.
Read the ingredients and percentages on the exact pack and choose knowingly between nuts, seasoned peanuts and nuts with fruit.
The Jumbo mix contains roasted ingredients. The AH nut and raisin mix says it has no added sugar, but its nutrition table lists 25 g of sugars per 100 g. These are separate product characteristics.
Check the salt, preparation method and total sugars separately on the label. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts and alternating between different types of nuts.
Albert Heijn and the NVWA’s warnings concern specific products and best-before dates, not a retailer’s entire range of nuts.
Compare the product name, packaging and best-before date with the warning. Don’t eat a pack covered by the warning, and follow the issuer’s instructions.

Ask for allergen information about the exact product before buying. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, this information must be available; for pre-packed products, it’s on the label. For unpackaged products, the information can be given in writing or verbally, and it must be clear that you can ask for it.
Follow the storage instructions on the exact pack and seal it properly after use if instructed to do so. For the nut and raisin mix covered here, Albert Heijn advises storing it in a cool, dark, dry place; Jumbo advises storing its mix in a cool, dry, dark place. Keep the original ingredients and best-before information with the pack too.
Don’t assume whole nuts and peanuts are a suitable snack for young children to eat while walking. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns about choking and advises children to sit calmly while eating, with an adult staying with them. This is safety advice, not a general legal age limit for buying nuts.
Check that the product name, packaging and best-before date match, then follow the instructions in the notice. Albert Heijn recalled AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 4 November 2026, advising consumers not to eat the product and to return it for a refund. The NVWA also issued a warning about Trader Joe’s Unsalted Cashew Nuts, 170 g, with a best-before date of 23 September 2026. These warnings apply to specific products, not all nuts sold by those retailers.
