Don’t take “oven roasted” as proof that nuts contain less fat: compare the total fat per 100 g and assess any nutrition claim separately. Duyvis describes its Oven Baked Peanuts Original as made without added oil or fat; this tells you about how they’re prepared, not about a measured reduction in fat. If your main aim is to limit how much you eat at each snack break, plan a portion and check that the packaging and storage instructions suit your camping plans.
You want less total fat and need to be able to distinguish a nutrition claim from a description of how a product is made, such as “no added fat”. Duyvis describes this preparation method for its Oven Baked Peanuts Original; the European Commission sets a specific fat-content threshold for the claim “low fat”.
You want to take nuts with you but decide in advance how much to eat at each snack break. Jumbo lists nutrition information per portion for a specific cashew variety, and the Netherlands Nutrition Centre provides information about nuts and portions.
You’re looking for packaging that can be resealed after opening and want to follow the storage instructions. Jumbo and ALDI describe resealable packaging for specific nut products.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Total fat | Compare the total fat per 100 g and check exactly which claim is being made and what the product is being compared with. | If you mainly want to eat less total fat, compare products on the same basis and look beyond how they’re made; around 31% of consumers say reducing fat is their top priority when buying. |
| Portion size | Check the net weight and nutrition information per portion. Decide in advance how much you want to take for each snack break. | If you want to prepare portions for several snack breaks, check the amount per portion and the packaging; around 25% of consumers put portion control first. |
| Storage at the campsite | Check whether the packaging is resealable and follow the product-specific storage instructions. | If you want to store an opened pack at the campsite, check that it can be sealed and follow the recommended storage conditions; around 25% of consumers give storage their highest priority. |
| Salt and ingredients | Read the current ingredients list, salt content and allergen information on the packaging. | If you’re mainly choosing based on salt and ingredients, check all the information on the pack before sharing; around 19% of consumers put this information first. |
A description of how a product is made doesn’t tell you how much total fat it contains. You could end up choosing a product that doesn’t meet your aim of eating less fat.
Compare the total fat per 100 g, and don’t treat Duyvis’s description of how the product is made as evidence of a measured reduction.
These two amounts aren’t directly comparable and can make a difference seem bigger or smaller than it really is.
First compare products per 100 g, then look at the portion you want to take with you.
Storage advice for a kitchen cupboard doesn’t mean the same time applies in different camping conditions.
Follow the instructions on the packaging and check whether you can store the nuts somewhere cool, dry and dark at the campsite, if that’s what the product requires.
These examples relate to specific product ranges or varieties. The preparation method, salt content and packaging don’t in themselves prove that a product contains less total fat.
Duyvis describes its Oven Baked Peanuts Original as roasted without added oil or fat.
AH Biologisch Cashewnoten ongebrand is a specific variety for anyone choosing based on the type of nut and how it’s processed.
Jumbo Ongebrande Cashewnoten 140 g lists nutrition information per 100 g and per portion for this variety.
Lidl sells, among other products, Way To Go cashew nuts under the Alesto brand.
The Trader Joe's hazelnuts reviewed at ALDI are roasted and unsalted.
PLUS Cashewnoten ongezouten ongebrand is a specific 200 g own-brand variety.
No. Duyvis describes its Oven Baked Peanuts Original as made without added oil or fat; that doesn’t prove the finished product is low in fat. According to the European Commission, solid foods can contain a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g to make the “low fat” claim.
Compare the total fat per 100 g, then assess portion sizes separately. For Jumbo Ongebrande Cashewnoten 140 g, Jumbo lists 46,6 g of fat per 100 g and 11,7 g per 25 g portion. A value per portion isn’t the same basis for comparison as a value per 100 g.
Not automatically. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says that opened mixed unsalted nuts can be kept in a kitchen cupboard for six months, but this isn’t a shelf-life test for a tent. Follow the product label; for the cashew nuts reviewed, Jumbo recommends storing them somewhere cool, dry and dark.
Check the allergen information on the current packaging. The NVWA says that this information must appear on the label of prepacked products. If you’re sharing the nuts or transferring them to another container, keep the original product information too.
The NVWA issued a warning about Trader Joe's cashewnoten ongezouten, 170 g, barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23 September 2026, due to possible metal fragments. Do not eat this pack. Albert Heijn recalled AH Pinda's extra groot gezouten in een bakje, with a best-before date of 4 November 2026, and also advises customers not to eat this specific pack. The warnings apply to the products and packaging listed, not to other nuts or varieties.
