If you want to grab something to take with you without any preparation, choose a pack with individual bags. For several snack breaks, a resealable bag may be more practical if you prefer to weigh out your own portions. Check the number of bags and the amount in each one: the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a guide for a handful of unsalted nuts, while the Duyvis multipack reviewed here contains 60-gram bags.
You want to pick up something already packed into individual bags while doing a few bits of shopping, without having to weigh it out at home first. Check the amount in each bag as well as how many bags you have to buy. For example, bol’s product listing describes a Duyvis multipack containing 20 bags of 60 grams each.
You’re looking for unsalted nuts and don’t mind setting aside your own portion. Check the salt information separately: unroasted doesn’t automatically mean unsalted. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts.
You want one purchase to cover several snack breaks, so you’re checking the bag size, seal and storage instructions once opened. A resealable bag, such as the 200-gram option described by ALDI, is a different type of pack from individual bags.
First decide whether you want to take a ready-packed bag with you or divide a larger amount into portions for different occasions.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Check how many individual bags there are and the weight of each one. Also check whether you have to buy the whole multipack. | If I want to pick up something to take with me while doing a bit of shopping, I don’t want to have to weigh it out first. Around 33% of consumers prioritise taking a snack with them without portioning it out. |
| Amount and salt | Check the grams per bag and the salt information. Unroasted and unsalted are different characteristics. | If I want to choose my own amount and pick an unsalted option, I check both details. Around 27% of consumers put choosing the amount and opting for unsalted nuts first. |
| Stocking up and storage | Check the total amount, the seal and the storage advice for your pack. | If I want one purchase to cover several snack breaks, I check the seal and storage instructions once opened. This is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and check the exact variant for any cross-contamination warning. | If ingredients or allergens determine my choice, I check the latest information on the pack. Around 20% of consumers put ingredients and allergens first. |
The Duyvis multipack reviewed here contains 60-gram bags. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a guide for one handful of unsalted nuts, so the amount in each bag is not the same as that reference amount.

The NVWA says allergens must be clearly and correctly shown on the label. Since 1 January 2026, there have also been rules on how and when food businesses must warn about allergens that accidentally get into food. This doesn’t mean that each pack mentioned here has been individually checked for compliance.
Check the complete sales unit before you choose. The Duyvis portion pack reviewed here contains 20 bags of 60 grams each, so you’re buying 1,200 grams, not one individual bag.
Follow the storage advice on the pack for your variant. For mixed salted nuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancidity, a chewy texture and mould as signs to watch out for. Don’t automatically apply this information to every other nut mix.
