If you have coeliac disease, first choose a nut product whose suitability has been confirmed for the exact variety. A brand name, natural appearance or sealed packet isn’t enough. Individually wrapped packs are handy if you want to take a snack with you without weighing it out, and keep the packaging sealed until you’re ready to eat. Portioning nuts yourself gives you more flexibility, but you’ll need clean equipment and a clean work surface, as advised by the Dutch Coeliac Society. The Joybuy products below are not confirmed gluten-free recommendations, so check the current packaging before choosing a product.
You’re buying for someone with coeliac disease and want to check the ingredients and cross-contamination information for the exact variety. Don’t rely on a brand name or the word ‘nuts’ alone. The Dutch Coeliac Society advises checking the product information.
You’re looking for an individually wrapped pack that you can keep sealed until you’re ready to eat, without weighing it out at home. The exact variety still needs to be suitable for a gluten-free diet.
You want to choose the amount yourself and are happy to portion nuts from a larger pack at home, using clean equipment and a clean work surface. The Dutch Coeliac Society describes these precautions for preventing cross-contamination.
A good fit if: you want to take a snack with you without weighing it out in advance and keep the original packaging sealed until you’re ready to eat, once you’ve confirmed the exact variety is suitable.
Bear in mind: the amount in each pack is fixed, and sealed packaging doesn’t in itself rule out possible cross-contamination during production.
A good fit if: you can prepare them in a clean environment at home and want to choose how much to take with you.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to weigh them out in advance and use clean equipment; the pack itself isn’t an individual snack pack.
A good fit if: you’re looking for a different flavour and have checked the exact ingredients and gluten-free suitability of that variety.
Bear in mind: added ingredients change the product’s composition; a nut base doesn’t automatically make the whole product gluten-free.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten-free product information | Check the exact variety, ingredients, gluten-free labelling and warnings on the packaging. | If you’re buying for someone with coeliac disease, you’ll want to check the information for that exact variety. Around 31% of consumers put clear information first. |
| Taking a sealed pack with you | Check that they really are individual packs, rather than one larger bag with several stated portions. | If you want something to grab while you’re out, without weighing it at home, an individual pack is practical. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this convenience above all else. |
| Amount per snack break | Compare the weight of each individual pack with the amount you’d like to take with you. | If you prefer to choose how much you eat or take with you, portioning your own suits your preferences better. Around 19% of consumers put this flexibility first. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Check the exact flavour, any coating and the ingredients; salted and unsalted varieties have different ingredients. | If you want to mix things up with different flavours or types of nuts, check the full ingredients for each variety. Around 13% of consumers make this distinction first. |
| Packaging and portion size | Compare the number of individual packs and the weight of each with the total weight of a larger pack. | If you want to compare packs by how many convenient snack breaks they provide, it helps to use the same portion size as a basis. Around 12% of consumers start with this comparison. |
A coating or other added ingredient changes the product’s composition. For example, the shop listing for Duyvis Borrelnootjes Provençale mini packs mentions wheat starch, so the name of the nut alone doesn’t tell you what else is in the product.
Check the full product information for the exact variety, and don’t treat a short product or category description as confirmation that it’s gluten-free.
An unopened pack can help protect the product after purchase, but it doesn’t in itself tell you whether cross-contamination may have occurred during production.
First check the ingredients and information about possible cross-contamination. Then keep a suitable product sealed for as long as possible, as advised by the Dutch Coeliac Society.
Lidl describes its 200 g Notenmix as one bag, while PLUS sells a 500 g stand-up pouch. These are different packaging formats from the individual 60 g packs that HANOS lists for Duyvis Pinda’s Gezouten.
Check both the number of packs and the weight of each one. A total weight or a stated number of portions doesn’t automatically mean the contents are individually wrapped.
A box of individual packs and a larger loose bag can differ in how many ready-to-go snack portions they provide, as well as how much preparation is needed.
Compare the weight of each pack, or use the same portion size of your choice when comparing larger bags.
Worth considering for salted peanuts in a listed small format, and for the difference between plain peanuts and coated products.

The own-brand nuts offer different ingredients for anyone who wants to weigh out their own portion.
Worth considering for an unroasted, unsalted nut mix and for a product called Mini-notenmix.
The official range description lists different types of nuts, in both salted and unsalted versions.

The available product information doesn’t confirm that the exact varieties are suitable for people with coeliac disease, so check the current packaging for ingredients and information about possible cross-contamination before choosing.

Not all naturally gluten-free staple foods carry that label. The Dutch Coeliac Society lists unprocessed nuts as naturally gluten-free staples, and also distinguishes between products that are gluten-free based on their ingredients. For those products, read the ingredients list and check the information about possible cross-contamination too; don’t assume that all products from one brand are suitable.
According to the Dutch Coeliac Society, these warnings mean the same thing when they relate to the same gluten risk. They refer to possible cross-contamination, not certainty that every pack contains gluten. So don’t automatically treat differently worded warnings as less important.
Since 1 January 2026, Dutch rules have applied to warnings about the unintended presence of allergens, overseen by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). According to the NVWA’s guidance, products made before then may still be sold under certain conditions; the production date is relevant. So check the information on the packaging of the product you’re actually buying.
Use a product that’s suitable for your gluten-free diet, and work with clean hands, clean equipment and a clean surface. Keep your portion separate from food containing gluten. If you’re using a suitable factory-sealed pack, leave it sealed for as long as possible; this won’t prevent cross-contamination that may have occurred during production.
No. 60 g is the pack weight that Duyvis and HANOS list for one variety of salted peanuts; it isn’t personal dietary advice. Choose an amount that suits your snack break. Portioning them yourself is an option if you want to take a different amount with you.
