Choose an individual portion pack if you want to take a set amount with you without weighing it; choose a larger bag if you’d rather decide your own portions and can store the pack carefully. Then check the ingredients, allergen information and storage instructions: ‘unsalted’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘unroasted’ or ‘oil-free’.
You want to take an individual pack for your afternoon snack without weighing it out at home first. Check the weight of each inner pack, not just the total weight of the multipack. Duyvis lists Unsalted Nutmix Walnut in a multipack of 4 × 30 g, among other sizes.
You want to take unsalted nuts with you and decide how much to eat. A larger bag with a recommended portion size can help you measure out a serving; the AH Unsalted Nut Mix we looked at lists 25 g per portion and 20 portions per pack.
You’d rather buy a larger bag and divide it into snack portions in advance. Check the ingredients and storage instructions, as you’ll be opening the pack more often. The product information we reviewed lists 500 g nut mixes from Albert Heijn and PLUS.
Choose this if: you want to put a set amount in your bag without weighing it out.
Bear in mind: the amount is fixed, so compare the weight of each inner pack, not just the total weight of the multipack.
Choose this if: you want to decide the amount yourself and have time to prepare portions in advance.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to weigh the portions yourself and store the opened pack according to the label.
Choose this if: you’re after a different bite, such as peanuts with a crispy coating.
Bear in mind: this type of snack has a different composition from an unsalted nut mix, so compare the ingredients and portion size.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Amount per snack occasion | Check the number of inner packs, the weight of each pack and any recommended portion size. Duyvis lists 4 × 30 g; AH lists 25 g per portion, but doesn’t specify individual packs. | If you don’t want to weigh a portion while you’re out, look for a pre-portioned amount. Around 31% of consumers prioritise portioning convenience. |
| Ingredients | Read the ingredients and compare the salt content on the same basis, for example per 100 g. ‘Unsalted’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘oil-free’. | If ingredients and salt content are your main considerations when choosing a regular snack, you’ll want to know exactly what’s in the mix. Around 25% of consumers prioritise the ingredients. |
| Flavour and bite | Check which types of nuts are used and whether the snack has a coating or other added ingredients. | If you’re looking for a particular flavour or a crunchy bite, a different mix may better suit your preferences. Around 19% of consumers give flavour and texture the highest priority. |
| Portioning and storage | Check the net weight and storage instructions. Also decide how much you want to measure out for several snack occasions. | If you want to portion out one pack over several days, it’s useful to know how to store it once opened. Around 19% of consumers prioritise keeping a supply and storing it properly. |
| Allergens | Check both the ingredients and any warnings about possible cross-contamination on the exact pack. | If you need to check the pack carefully because of a food allergy, look for both types of information. Around 6% of consumers say checking allergens is their main concern when buying. |
A multipack with individual packs is different from a larger bag that lists a portion size. The total weight doesn’t tell you how much you’ll take or eat at once.
Check how the pack is physically divided, as well as the weight in grams per pack or stated portion.
The AH mix we looked at is unsalted, but contains sunflower oil and nuts prepared in different ways. The PLUS mix lists four types of nuts and no oil as an ingredient.
Use the ingredients list and preparation details to decide which version suits your preferences.
A recall applies to the product and best-before date specified in the warning; it doesn’t automatically apply to other nut mixes from the same shop.
If there’s a warning, compare the product name, packaging and best-before date with the official notice. Don’t eat a product that’s been recalled.

This bag of mixed nuts is a snack you can portion out yourself, but it won’t suit anyone specifically looking for unsalted nuts.
The description lists cashews, peanuts and almonds, and says no fat or oil has been added. The salt content is 1.1 g per 100 g.
No. The weight of a pack isn’t automatically a personal recommendation. Duyvis lists 30 g packs and the AH mix we looked at lists a 25 g portion; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises having a handful of unsalted nuts each day. That doesn’t mean any of these pack sizes are automatically right for everyone.
Use a well-sealed container and follow the instructions on the label. For the larger mix we looked at, Albert Heijn advises storing it in a cool, dry place and closing the pack after use; PLUS advises storing it in a dry, dark place. Follow the same guidance when preparing portions at home.
Check both the ingredients list and any warnings about possible cross-contamination on the exact pack. In the EU, allergens must be clearly highlighted in the ingredients list. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority also sets out rules for precautionary warnings that have applied in the Netherlands since 1 January 2026; such a warning is not the same as an ingredient that has been deliberately added.
No, these are different product characteristics. According to the product information, the AH Unsalted Nut Mix we looked at contains sunflower oil and nuts prepared in different ways; the PLUS Unroasted Unsalted Nut Mix lists four types of nuts and no oil as an ingredient. Always check the ingredients and preparation details for the product you choose.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority warned about 170 g packs of Trader Joe’s Unsalted Cashews with a best-before date of 23-09-2026; the warning mentions possible metal fragments. Albert Heijn warned about tubs of AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts with a best-before date of 04-11-2026, advising customers not to eat the product and to return it for a refund. Compare the full product details and date with the official notice; these warnings don’t automatically apply to other nut mixes.
