If you want to eat less fat while gaming, compare the fat content per 100 g and calculate how much that means for the portion you actually eat. Unsalted nuts and nuts made without added fat or oil are not automatically low in fat: the Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 14.9 g of fat per 25 g portion as a general figure for unsalted nuts, not a value for every pack. How a product is prepared and its nutritional values are separate factors to consider.
You want to keep a close eye on how much fat you eat during each snack break. So consider both the fat content of the nuts and the portion you eat. For unsalted nuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 14.9 g of fat per 25 g as a general nutritional value for the category; check the pack for the product you choose.
You’re looking for nuts with no added salt, but don’t want to mistake ‘unsalted’ for ‘low in fat’. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in the Dutch Wheel of Five (Schijf van Vijf); that doesn’t, by itself, mean a specific variety is low in total fat.
You want a roasted snack with no added oil. Check both the preparation description and the nutritional values for the specific product. Duyvis Dry Roasted Mixed Nuts is described on Joybuy as being made without added fat or oil.
First compare the fat per 100 g, then work out what that means for your portion. Consider whether the nuts are unsalted and how they’re prepared as separate preferences.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Less fat per snack break | Compare the grams of fat per 100 g and calculate the amount for the weight of your portion. | If keeping total fat down during a gaming session is my priority, I check both the nutritional values and how much I take. Around 42% of consumers put fat per snack break first. |
| Choosing unsalted | Check that the pack says ‘unsalted’ and look at the total fat separately. | If I want to avoid added salt, I check for that label without assuming it means the product is low in fat. Around 33% of consumers say an unsalted product is their main buying priority. |
| Roasted without added oil | Look for a clear description of how the product is prepared, and also check the nutritional values and allergen information. | If I prefer roasted nuts without added oil, I check these two product features separately. Around 17% of consumers make this their main buying priority. |
| Keeping some for later | Check the pack size and follow the storage instructions for that specific pack. | If I want to use a pack over several gaming sessions, I check its size and storage advice. Around 8% of consumers give storage between snack breaks top priority. |
Choosing a product with no added salt doesn’t tell you how much total fat you’ll be eating. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in the Dutch Wheel of Five and gives 14.9 g of fat per 25 g portion.
Check the salt information and total fat separately, and use the portion you’ll actually eat in your calculations.
‘Made without added fat or oil’ describes how a product is prepared. On its own, it doesn’t compare the product’s total fat content with another product.
Compare the nutrition table per 100 g and check any claim about reduced fat against a suitable product comparison.
The NVWA warning dated 20 May 2026 concerned Trader Joe’s unsalted cashews, 170 g, barcode 2003020120930, with a best-before date of 23-09-2026. The Albert Heijn notice from the same date concerned AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub, with a best-before date of 04-11-2026.

No. This describes how the product is prepared, but doesn’t, by itself, prove that it has a lower total fat content than another product. Compare the nutritional values per 100 g and calculate the amount for your portion.
Check the ingredients, allergens, net weight, nutritional values and, where applicable, storage instructions. According to Dutch government information on food labelling, labelling information must be in Dutch and available online too.
Always check the allergen information on the current pack and avoid products containing an allergen you’re allergic to. Duyvis says that any possible traces caused by cross-contamination are indicated on the pack.
Follow the instructions on the pack you’ve bought. For Jumbo Unsalted Cashews 130 g, the advice is to store in a cool, dry and dark place; this instruction doesn’t automatically apply to other products.
