Which size should you choose?

Snack bags for when you're out and about

You want to divide sealed bags between festival days or lunchboxes in advance. The number of bags and the amount in each matter more than the total pack weight alone. Foods & Goods and FOOX list the Duyvis portion pack as containing 20 bags of 60 g.

Sharing with others at the campsite

You're looking for snacks to share, and you can seal opened packs properly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed container.

Choosing carefully based on ingredients

You want unsalted nuts or need to consider allergens within your group. Check the exact variety and the label; the brand name alone doesn't determine whether a product is suitable.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start by thinking about how you want to serve the snacks: in sealed bags, shared from larger packs or portioned out for lunchboxes. Then compare the quantity, ingredients and options for storing any leftovers.

What to consider What should you check? Who should consider this?
Individual inner bags Check the number of bags and the weight of each one; Foods & Goods and FOOX list the Duyvis portion pack as 20 × 60 g. If I want to take sealed bags for different snack breaks, I look at both the number of bags and the amount in each. Around 29% of consumers prioritise this.
Quantity for sharing Compare the number of packs and the total contents with the number of people and planned snack breaks. If you want to share snacks with others, you can match the quantity to your group and avoid having too much left over. Around 24% of consumers prioritise having enough for a group.
Sealing and storage Check the storage advice and whether you can keep any opened leftovers dry and well sealed. This is the Netherlands Nutrition Centre's storage advice for nuts. If I want to use a pack on several occasions, I want to be able to seal any leftovers properly and keep them dry. Around 18% of consumers prioritise easy storage.
Ingredients and flavour Compare the exact variety and ingredients. Duyvis lists peanuts, sunflower oil and salt for Pinda’s Gezouten; Jumbo and PLUS list 200 g unsalted mixed nuts. If you're looking for unsalted nuts or want a salted snack, it's worth checking the variety on the pack. Around 17% of consumers prioritise ingredients and flavour.
Allergen information Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label for the exact variety. The NVWA explains the labelling rules for pre-packed products. If I choose snacks for myself or a group, I want to take the recipients' allergens into account. Around 12% of consumers make allergen information their top purchasing priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘portions’ means individual bags

    A pack may list serving sizes without each portion being in its own bag. According to Foods & Goods, the Duyvis portion pack contains 20 individual bags of 60 g; another product description lists 7–8 portions per pack.

    Look for an explicit number of inner bags and the weight of each one, not just the word ‘portions’.

    Portioning snacks yourself takes preparation and may require your own small bags or containers.

  • Assuming a stand-up pouch is resealable

    The PLUS mixed nuts product name mentions a stand-up pouch, but that alone doesn't tell you how to seal the pack after opening.

    Check the seal on the exact pack before relying on it to store leftovers for later.

    If the pack doesn't seal properly, you may need your own storage container or closure.

  • Using an older online allergen statement as the current label

    An online product description may include a precautionary warning that doesn't match the label on the pack you have. The NVWA explains the rules for precautionary allergen warnings that have applied since 1 January 2026.

    Read the allergen information on the current pack for the exact variety; if you're choosing for someone with an allergy, don't rely on an online description alone.

Brands and product ranges compared

Duyvis

Worth considering for salted peanuts in individual portion packs, as well as larger pack sizes.

  • Foods & Goods lists a portion pack with 20 bags of 60 g. Duyvis also lists Pinda’s Gezouten in 60, 100, 235 and 370 g packs.
  • According to Duyvis, the salted variety contains peanuts, sunflower oil and salt. The range of sizes doesn't mean that every pack contains individual inner bags.

Albert Heijn

An option if you want to choose an unsalted nut mix and portion it out yourself for snack breaks or lunchboxes.

  • Albert Heijn lists AH Unsalted Mixed Nuts, 200 g.
  • A 200 g bag doesn't confirm that the nuts are individually packed.

Jumbo

An unsalted mix in a larger pack that you can portion out yourself.

  • The Jumbo product page lists Unsalted Nut Mix, 200 g.
  • This product listing describes a 200 g pack, not a multipack of individual bags.

PLUS

An unsalted nut mix in a stand-up pouch, suitable for portioning out yourself or sharing.

  • PLUS lists a 200 g stand-up pouch of unsalted mixed nuts.
  • ‘Stand-up pouch’ doesn't confirm that the pack is resealable; check the seal on the exact variety.

Lidl

Lidl Netherlands' Alesto product range includes nuts, dried fruit and party snacks.

  • Lidl Netherlands lists various product ranges that could suit snack breaks.
  • Dried fruit and party snacks aren't necessarily a pure nut mix; compare the exact product name and ingredients.

ALDI

A range featuring different types of nuts, with both salted and unsalted varieties.

  • ALDI Netherlands lists cashews, almonds, walnuts and Brazil nuts, among others, in both salted and unsalted varieties.
  • A product from the nut range isn't necessarily a multipack; check how the variety you've chosen is packaged.

Frequently asked questions

Is a multipack the same as individually wrapped portions?

No. Check whether the pack really contains individual inner bags: according to Foods & Goods, the Duyvis portion pack contains 20 bags of 60 g. A listing that mentions several portions doesn't, by itself, confirm that each portion is wrapped separately.

How many bags do I need for a festival weekend?

Choose the number based on how many people there are and how many snack breaks you'd like a sealed bag for. Compare your plans with the number of bags in the pack; the Duyvis portion pack contains 20. This is a planning guide, not nutritional advice.

How should I store opened nuts at the campsite?

Store opened nuts in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed container, and follow the instructions on the pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre provides storage advice for nuts; don't assume that conditions in a tent are the same as at home.

Which allergen information should I check?

Read the ingredients and allergen information on the label of the exact, current pack. According to the NVWA, pre-packed products must include allergen information; the NVWA also explains the rules for precautionary warnings that have applied since 1 January 2026.

Is a 200 g bag of mixed nuts automatically a multipack?

No. The Jumbo and PLUS product listings describe a 200 g unsalted nut mix, not a pack of individual snack bags. If you need individual bags, check the number of inner packs for the variety you've chosen.
