First check which allergens you need to avoid, then consider the convenience of a portion pack: individual packaging doesn’t make a snack allergen-free. Albert Heijn describes Duyvis Borrelnootjes Provencale as 20 bags of 45 g; Foods & Goods lists Duyvis salted peanuts in 20 bags of 60 g. Both varieties contain peanuts and carry a warning that nuts may be present; the Provencale variety also contains wheat. Only consider a product if the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack are compatible with the advice you’ve been given on what to avoid.
You’re looking for something to take on the go, but want to check first whether the ingredients and any cross-contamination warnings are compatible with the allergens you need to avoid. This guide can help you compare labels and packaging; it doesn’t diagnose individual allergies.
You want to take an individually wrapped portion with you without measuring it out beforehand. Check both the weight per bag and the allergen information: the Duyvis packs described here contain bags of 45 g or 60 g.
You want to decide for yourself how much to take from a larger pack. Check the total pack weight, and keep the product information with the snack when you repackage it so you can still identify it.
First, check the ingredients and warnings for the exact variety. Then see whether the pack actually contains individual bags and whether the quantity suits the way you plan to take the snack with you.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients and avoidance advice | Read the ingredients list for the exact flavour and pack, and compare it with the allergens you need to avoid. | If I’m following advice to avoid certain allergens, I want to know whether the ingredients in the exact variety are suitable; around 36% of consumers make this their first consideration when buying. |
| Possible cross-contamination | As well as the ingredients, read the warnings on the exact pack and check how they relate to the advice you’ve been given on what to avoid. | Even if the recipe seems suitable, I want to check for a warning about possible accidental presence; around 29% of consumers prioritise this check. |
| Individual bags | Check the number of individual bags, the weight per bag and the total pack weight. | When I’m on the go, I want to be able to take a bag without measuring out a portion first; around 21% of consumers say an individual bag is their main consideration. |
| Portioning it yourself | Check the total weight and factor in measuring out and repackaging the amount you want to take with you. | When I portion snacks myself, I want to be able to adjust the amount and account for the extra effort; around 14% of consumers prioritise this practical consideration. |
The NVWA states that allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label. Peanuts are legumes, not tree nuts; check both categories separately if they’re relevant to the advice you’ve been given on what to avoid, as Stichting Voedselallergie also explains.
Portion packaging doesn’t change which allergens may be present as ingredients or covered by a warning.
Check the ingredients and warnings before considering the convenience of the packaging. The Duyvis portion packs described here contain peanuts and warn that nuts may be present.
Ingredients can vary from one flavour to another. According to Albert Heijn, the Provencale variety also contains wheat and states that milk, nuts, soya and mustard may be present.
Read the full ingredients list and warnings for the exact flavour; don’t assume different recipes have the same allergen profile.
A nutritional serving size on a larger pack doesn’t mean that each portion is individually wrapped. The Joybuy listing for 125 g of Duyvis Provencale is not the same pack as 20 bags of 45 g.
Check the number of bags and the weight per bag specifically, rather than relying only on the serving size.
If you choose a larger bag, you’ll need to measure out and repackage a smaller amount yourself to take it with you.
A box of 20 bags of 60 g contains 1,200 g in total; its total weight differs from that of larger supermarket packs.
Compare the total weight as well, and check how many individual portions the pack contains.
The portion packs described are coated peanuts in 45 g bags and salted peanuts in 60 g bags.
The product page describes Duyvis Borrelnootjes Provencale as a pack containing 20 bags of 45 g.
The range includes larger packs, including a 200 g unsalted nut mix.
Lidl features Alesto in its nuts, dried fruit and party snacks categories.
The Dutch range includes larger packs, such as 250 g of roasted salted peanuts and 300 g of borrelnoten.
The category page includes 200 g of dry roasted peanuts and 300 g of borrelnoten.
This selection includes larger packs for anyone who wants to take a portion of peanuts with them, as well as a pack of chestnuts in individual bags. Check the exact ingredients, warnings and packaging information for each product.

No. The distinction between peanuts and tree nuts doesn’t prove that a peanut product is suitable for you. Peanuts are legumes, not tree nuts, as Stichting Voedselallergie explains. The peanut packs described here also warn that nuts may be present. Follow the advice you’ve been given on what to avoid to determine which ingredients and warnings are relevant.
No. The absence of a precautionary warning isn’t a personal guarantee that an allergen is absent. Dutch rules link precautionary labelling to a risk assessment; always check the ingredients as well. The NVWA explains that enforcement of the labelling rules has applied since 1 January 2026.
Read the ingredients list and any precautionary warning on the exact pack. The NVWA states that allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label. Dutch rules on precautionary labelling include wording such as ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’.
Don’t treat these portion packs as a general recommendation for young children. The Albert Heijn product page for the Duyvis pack described here warns that children can choke on peanuts and nuts.
Look up the warning for the exact product and follow the instructions it gives. The NVWA publishes safety warnings issued by businesses; a warning for one product or batch isn’t a judgement on all the nut snacks sold by that supermarket.
