Choose individually wrapped snack bags if you don’t want to weigh out portions while watching the Dutch team. For example, Foods & Goods lists Duyvis packs containing 20 bags of 45 g or 60 g. For several match nights when you want to fill a bowl, larger sharing bags are a better fit. For lunchboxes, though, you’ll need to portion the nuts yourself and follow the storage advice. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing mixed unsalted nuts in a cool, dark and dry place in a tightly sealed container.
Want to hand out sealed bags during the match without weighing out portions? Check the number of individual bags and the amount in each one. For example, Foods & Goods lists Duyvis Borrelnootjes Provencale in packs of 20 bags, each weighing 45 g.
If you want to take nuts with you for later, check the pack size, product variant and storage advice. For children, a small bag doesn’t replace the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s advice about the risk of choking on whole nuts and peanuts.
If you’re planning several snack occasions, check the amount in each individual bag and the total quantity. A box of larger bags isn’t the same as a box of individual snack portions.
Choose these when: you want to give each viewer a sealed bag or keep some bags unopened. Foods & Goods lists Duyvis packs including 20 bags of 45 g and 20 bags of 60 g.
Bear in mind: the amount in each bag is fixed, and the two examples also differ by product type: coated peanuts versus salted peanuts.
Choose this when: you want to open a larger bag to fill a bowl on each of several evenings. Foods & Goods lists a Duyvis box containing 8 bags of 275 g.
Bear in mind: eight sharing bags aren’t the same as eight individual snack portions. You’ll need to measure out an amount yourself for a lunchbox.
Choose this when: you want to decide how much to take with you. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS, for example, list bags of unsalted nuts and nut mixes.
Bear in mind: these aren’t confirmed multipacks with individual inner bags. You’ll need to portion the nuts yourself and store them in a tightly sealed container.

A mention of portions doesn’t automatically tell you how many sealed packs you can hand out. For example, Foods & Goods lists 20 bags of 45 g and, in another size, 8 bags of 275 g.
Before buying, check both the number of individual packs and the weight of each one.
With a larger sharing bag, you’ll need to portion the contents yourself. Allow time to prepare them and have a sealable container ready for storage.
The type of pack doesn’t tell you whether a product is salted, unsalted or coated. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in the Wheel of Five; that doesn’t automatically tell you what’s in coated peanuts.
Check the product type, ingredients and salt information separately from the number of bags.
The ingredients, allergen warnings and best-before information relate to the exact product. The European Union requires allergens to be highlighted in the ingredients list.
Keep the pack to hand when serving the contents so you can check the product information.
The size of the outer pack doesn’t change the risk of choking on whole nuts and peanuts. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns about this risk for children.
Follow the relevant advice for children and consider the food itself; don’t base your decision on the bag size alone.

A small bag doesn’t remove the risk of choking on whole nuts and peanuts. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns about this risk for children, so consider the food itself and follow the relevant advice for children, rather than judging by the pack alone.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing mixed unsalted nuts in a cool, dark and dry place in a tightly sealed container. Also follow the storage advice and best-before information on the pack. Don’t automatically apply this advice to seasoned coated peanuts.
Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the current pack of the exact product you want to serve. According to the European Union, allergens must be highlighted in the ingredients list; a product name or online description isn’t a substitute for the label.
Yes. Since 1 January 2026, new rules have applied in the Netherlands on how and when food businesses must label warnings about allergens that may accidentally get into food. The NVWA oversees these rules. If someone you’re sharing food with has an allergy, always check the current pack; this isn’t a personal assurance that a product is allergy-safe.
