If you want to take snacks along and hand them out for football without weighing anything, choose individual bags. Makro Netherlands describes Duyvis Provencale as a box of 20 bags, each weighing 45 g. If you want to choose the amount and ingredients yourself, go for an unsalted nut mix and portion it in advance. Coated peanuts are a different kind of snack from unsalted nuts, so check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack.
If you want to take something along before the football and hand it out without weighing portions, check that the pack really contains individual bags. Makro Netherlands describes the Duyvis Provencale box as 20 bags of 45 g each.
If you want unsalted nuts and prefer to measure out your own portion, check the types of nuts and the portion information. Jumbo lists eight 25 g portions for its 200 g Ongebrande Notenmix; that doesn’t mean the pack contains eight individual bags.
If you’re buying a pack for several evenings, you’ll need to portion it yourself and store the rest properly. ALDI describes its 200 g Trader Joe's Notenmix ongebrand as resealable. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a cool, dry place at 10 to 15 °C in a tightly sealed container.
First decide what matters most to you: convenience when handing snacks out, portioning them yourself, a particular type of snack, keeping some for later or allergen information.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who might prioritise this? |
|---|---|---|
| Handing out individual bags | Check the number of actual bags and the weight of each one; a portion table doesn’t prove that the pack contains individual portions. | If I want to take bags along and hand them out before kick-off without weighing anything, convenience is my deciding factor. Around 31% of consumers put this first. |
| Amount and ingredients | Read the ingredients and nutritional information per 100 g and per the amount you actually measure out. | If I want to choose how much to take and am looking for unsalted nuts, I check the exact mix and portion it myself. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Savoury flavour and crunchy coating | Check the flavour, coating and ingredients; the brand name alone doesn’t tell you what kind of snack it is. | If I’m specifically looking for a savoury, seasoned snack to enjoy while watching football, I check the flavour and coating. This is the main reason for buying for around 19% of consumers. |
| Portioning and storage | Check whether the pack is resealable and follow the storage instructions if you’re splitting the contents across several occasions. | If I want to use a pack over several evenings, being able to seal and store it matters to me. Around 19% of consumers put this first. |
| Allergen information | Read the ingredients list and warnings on the exact pack, including for coated peanut snacks. | If I’m taking something for someone with a specific food allergy, I want to be able to check the exact pack. Around 6% of consumers name this as their main reason for buying. |
A nutritional information table may list portions even if the pack isn’t divided into them. Jumbo lists eight 25 g portions for its 200 g nut mix; the Duyvis box is described as containing 20 individual bags of 45 g each.
Check the number of actual bags and the weight of each one, not just the portion table.
Duyvis Provencale is a peanut snack with a crunchy coating; the product information lists ingredients including wheat. It’s a different type of product from an unsalted nut mix.
Choose the type of snack you’re looking for and read the ingredients for the exact variety.
A mix may contain different tree nuts, while a coated peanut snack may also contain ingredients in its coating. A small bag or a trusted brand name is no substitute for checking the label.
Check the ingredients and any warnings on the pack you’re actually handing out, and keep it available.

Not necessarily: a bag and a portion on a nutritional information table aren’t the same thing. Makro Netherlands describes the Duyvis Provencale bags as 45 g each; Jumbo lists nutritional information per 25 g for its nut mix. Think about how much you want to take and don’t confuse the stated portion with the number of individual packs.
Seal the pack tightly and store the nuts in a cool, dry place. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends 10 to 15 °C for best storage; also follow the instructions on the label of the specific pack.
Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack you plan to hand out. The European Union’s Your Europe website explains that allergens in prepacked foods must be highlighted in the ingredients list. Since 1 January 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) has also checked that prepacked products carry the correct warnings about possible cross-contamination. This information doesn’t automatically make a product suitable for every allergy.
A small bag doesn’t automatically make whole nuts suitable for young children. Jumbo’s product page for the Ongebrande Notenmix specifically warns about choking, so bear this warning in mind when handing them out.
