Gamers with a lunchbox
If you want to get snacks ready in advance for gaming and take them with you, check how many bags there are and how much each contains. Duyvis lists a multipack of 4 × 30 g for Unsalted Nutmix Walnut.
Who are nut multipacks useful for?
Game night organisers
If you want to keep snacks for several gaming sessions with friends, it matters whether a bundle contains small bags or individual products. Albert Heijn says its Roodfruit notenmix ongezouten 4-pack is delivered as individual products.
Snackers who check the ingredients
If unsalted nuts and clear allergen information matter to you, check the ingredients and label for the exact variant. The NVWA says allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, choose between pre-measured bags, a bundle of individual products or a larger bag that you portion yourself. Then check the pack contents and the information on the packaging.
Multipack with portion bags
Choose this if: you want to have individual snacks ready for gaming sessions or a lunchbox.
Bear in mind: the stated amount per bag is a product specification, not personal nutrition advice.
Bundle of individual products
Choose this if: you want to keep several packs for different group sessions.
Bear in mind: the number of products doesn’t tell you how many individual snack portions you’ll get.
Large bag to portion yourself
Choose this if: you want to weigh out your own portions and use the same supply for gaming and lunchboxes.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to prepare the portions yourself and store the opened pack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |

Duyvis lists 4 × 30 g for Unsalted Nutmix Walnut. | If I want to have bags ready for individual gaming sessions or my lunchbox, the amount per bag gives me a useful guide; that’s why around 36% of consumers prioritise pre-measured portions. |
| Bundle for several sessions | Check whether the bundle contains individual products and look at the weight of each product supplied. Albert Heijn describes its 4-pack as four separate products. | For a game night with friends, I want to be able to split the packs across different sessions; around 29% of consumers prioritise a supply for sharing. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients for the exact variant and check the allergen information on the packaging supplied. | If I choose unsalted nuts, I want to know which types are included and which allergens are listed; around 21% of consumers prioritise ingredients and allergens. |

Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming a bundle of products means small portion bags
A bundle of four separate products isn’t automatically the same as four small snack bags. Albert Heijn says its Roodfruit notenmix ongezouten 4-pack is supplied as individual products, whereas Duyvis lists 4 × 30 g for Unsalted Nutmix Walnut.
Check what the number on the pack refers to and how many grams each inner pack contains.
You may end up with more stock or larger individual packs than you expected for one snack break, so choose an amount that suits how you’ll use it.
-
Assuming a large bag will automatically be the right amount
A 500 g stand-up pouch and a 4 × 30 g multipack are different pack formats; the size alone doesn’t tell you how many individual snacks you need.
Compare the net weight, ingredients and number of individual bags with the amount you’ll actually use.
-
Relying only on the flavour name or ‘unsalted’
Duyvis describes Unsalted Nutmix Walnut as a mix of almonds, walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts. So Walnut is the name of the mix, not a sign that it contains only walnuts.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging for the exact variant, even if you’ve bought the product before.
-
Applying a warning to an entire brand, or ignoring an affected pack
The NVWA warning dated 20 May 2026 concerns Trader Joe’s unsalted cashews, 170 g, with a best-before date of 23-09-2026. The Albert Heijn warning dated 20 May 2026 concerns AH Pinda's extra groot gezouten in a tub, with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. These warnings apply to the specific products and dates listed, not to entire brands.
Compare the product name and best-before date with the official notice. Do not eat a pack covered by the warning.
Brands to compare
Duyvis
A clear example of an unsalted nut multipack with individual bags.
- Duyvis lists four 30 g bags for Unsalted Nutmix Walnut and names almonds, walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts.
- Walnut is the name of the mix, not an indication that the product contains only walnuts.
Albert Heijn
The Roodfruit notenmix ongezouten 4-pack is a bundle of individual products for ordering.
- Albert Heijn’s product page says the bundle contains four separate products.
- The number of products alone doesn’t tell you how many small snack portions you’ll get; check the variant supplied.
Jumbo
A 200 g unsalted nut mix to portion yourself.
- Jumbo’s product listing features its own-brand Noten Mix Ongezouten, weighing 200 g.
- This is one bag, not a ready-made multipack of individual portions.
Lidl
The nut mix described is a 200 g bag of unroasted, unsalted nuts.
- Lidl’s Dutch product page lists 200 g per bag.
- The product page says ‘In store only’; this applies to the page in question and doesn’t describe the full range.
ALDI
The range description includes different types of nuts, both salted and unsalted.
- ALDI names cashews, almonds, walnuts and Brazil nuts, among others.
- Choose based on the packaging and label for the exact variant; the types of nuts listed don’t determine whether it comes in portion-sized multipacks.
PLUS
An unroasted, unsalted nut mix in a 500 g stand-up pouch, intended for portioning yourself.
- The PLUS product page confirms the contents and format of the stand-up pouch.
- A 500 g stand-up pouch isn’t a ready-made multipack of portions; you’ll need to prepare the individual portions yourself.

Frequently asked questions
How many individual snacks are in a 4-pack?
It depends on what the number refers to. Duyvis lists 4 × 30 g for Unsalted Nutmix Walnut. Albert Heijn describes its Roodfruit notenmix ongezouten 4-pack as four separate products, so the number of individual snack portions isn’t specified.
Does Walnut Mix mean it contains only walnuts?
No. Duyvis describes Unsalted Nutmix Walnut as a mix of almonds, walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts. Always check the packaging for your variant to see exactly what’s in it.
What allergen information must be shown on a prepacked nut snack?
According to the NVWA, allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label. Under Regulation 1169/2011, consumers must be informed about allergens including peanuts and nuts. Check the exact packaging; an unsalted version doesn’t mean a product is allergen-free.
How should you store an opened pack of mixed unsalted nuts?
For opened mixed unsalted nuts, the Voedingscentrum’s storage guide recommends six months in a kitchen cupboard or one year in the freezer. Follow the information on the label too. Nuts that are rancid, chewy or mouldy are signs of spoilage.
