Only choose a multipack if the exact variant is suitable for a gluten-free diet. Small bags are convenient to take with you or share, but their size says nothing about whether they are suitable. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging, and keep opened portions away from crumbs from snacks containing gluten.
You’re looking for nuts in individual bags to take on the go or put in a lunchbox, and want to check first whether the exact variant is suitable for coeliac disease. A pre-portioned bag saves you weighing, but it doesn’t replace checking the ingredients and allergens. Erasmus MC describes a gluten-free diet as the treatment for coeliac disease.
You want to share nuts when there are also snacks containing gluten around. Individual portions make sharing easier to manage, but keep them away from crumbs afterwards. The Dutch Coeliac Society explains that contact with crumbs containing gluten can cause cross-contamination.
You’re considering a larger bag and would rather decide for yourself how much to take with you. Compare the ingredients and size of the exact pack, and prepare portions without contact with food containing gluten. The Dutch Coeliac Society explains why it’s important to prevent cross-contamination.
When choosing nut multipacks for lunchboxes and sharing, check the exact variant first. Then consider which pack size best suits the way you’ll use it.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Suitability of the exact variant | Read the ingredients and any warnings about cereals containing gluten on the packaging. Don’t base your choice solely on the brand name or product category. | I want to assess whether this exact variant is suitable for my gluten-free diet first. Around 36% of consumers give this the highest priority. |
| Portions to take on the go | Check how many individual bags there are and how many grams each contains. Don’t confuse the total weight with the portion size. | If I want to take a portion with me without weighing it, the number of bags and weight per bag are what matter most to me. Around 29% of consumers prioritise convenience on the go. |
| Individual portions for sharing | Check whether there are enough individual portions for the planned snack occasion, and keep them separate from snacks containing gluten. | When sharing snacks, I want to hand out portions easily and avoid contact with crumbs. This is the top priority for around 21% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and flavour | Check which nuts, peanuts, raisins or coatings are in the exact variant. ‘Unsalted’ on its own tells you nothing about gluten. | Once I know the variant is suitable for my gluten-free diet, I also want to know which nuts and other ingredients it contains. Around 14% of consumers give ingredients and flavour the highest priority. |
A pack of small bags says nothing about the ingredients. The AH Notenmix kvp product reviewed states that it may contain cereals containing gluten and wheat. FoodWorld XL states that the Duyvis Borrelnootjes Provençale mini bags reviewed contain wheat and cereals containing gluten.
Check the ingredients and relevant warnings for the exact variant first. Only then consider the number of bags and portion size.
Product pages on Albert Heijn and Jumbo show messages stating that the Duyvis multipack reviewed has been discontinued or is no longer available, alongside general ordering messages.
Look for the specific availability message on the product page and check the latest information before relying on a product being in stock.
The Dutch Coeliac Society explains that contact with crumbs containing gluten can cause cross-contamination. An individual bag doesn’t automatically prevent this risk once it has been opened.
Hand out portions individually and keep them away from crumbs from snacks containing gluten when opening and serving them.

No. Unsalted says nothing about whether the product contains ingredients with gluten. For the AH Notenmix kvp reviewed, Albert Heijn states that it may contain cereals containing gluten and wheat. Check the ingredients and allergen information separately from the salt content and pack size.
It’s a warning about possible cross-contamination, not a statement that every pack contains gluten. The Dutch Coeliac Society explains that such warnings indicate a risk and aren’t a gluten-free declaration. So don’t take the warning as confirmation that the variant is suitable.
From 1 January 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) will oversee the new rules on precautionary allergen labelling. According to the NVWA, businesses must prevent cross-contamination and carry out a risk assessment where necessary; warnings must not be added arbitrarily. These are business requirements, not a guarantee that every web page reflects the current packaging information.
No. Be aware of the risk of choking in young children. Product information from Duyvis and PLUS warns that young children can choke on nuts and peanuts. A small bag doesn’t automatically make whole nuts suitable for young children.
Read the packaging before eating the product, and ask the retailer or manufacturer for clarification if the information conflicts. Albert Heijn and PLUS state that ingredients and allergen information can change, so the packaging for the variant you have is important.
