Choose a small, sealed bag if you want something to take with you without any preparation; the pack size doesn’t automatically determine how much you eat. If you want unsalted nuts or to choose the amount yourself, measure some out from a larger pack beforehand. For a snack mix, compare the ingredients and check the allergen information on the packaging.
You want to take a sealed bag with you when you go to pick up chips, without measuring or repacking anything. Duyvis lists Pinda’s Gezouten in a 60 g pack, among other sizes; this is a pack size, not a recommended serving for you personally.
You want to choose the amount yourself and prefer unsalted nuts. The unsalted nut mixes listed by Albert Heijn and PLUS are larger retail packs to portion out in advance, not ready-to-go single-portion bags.
You’re specifically looking for a mixed snack, such as peanuts with raisins or nuts with fruit. So check the full ingredients and how much you want to take with you, rather than looking only for the word ‘nuts’.
| Buying concern | What to look out for when buying | Who is this more important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking something with you without preparation | Check whether it’s a single bag or a multipack; Duyvis lists a 60 g bag. | If I want to leave straight away, I want to be able to grab a sealed bag without weighing anything first. Around 31% of consumers put convenience when taking a snack with them first. |
| Choosing the amount yourself | Compare the net weight and consider whether you’ll have time to measure some out beforehand. | Anyone who wants to choose their own amount before leaving accepts that measuring it out takes preparation. Around 25% of consumers prioritise portion control. |
| Choosing a suitable mix of ingredients | Check whether the product is unsalted and read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging. | If the ingredients need to suit my dietary preferences, I want to know exactly what’s in the bag. Around 19% of consumers say the ingredients are their main buying concern. |
| Choosing nuts or a mix | Decide whether you’re looking for peanuts, nuts or a mix with, for example, fruit; check the full ingredients list. | Anyone mainly looking for a mix with different ingredients should choose based on the mix itself, not just on whether it contains nuts. Around 13% of consumers put variety of flavour first. |
| Choosing the amount to buy | Check the number of bags and the total weight; a multipack isn’t the same as a single bag. | If I’m only looking for something for this snack break, I want to avoid accidentally buying a stock-up pack. Around 12% of consumers focus mainly on buying an amount that suits their needs. |
The amount in a pack doesn’t tell you how much you’ll want to eat before or with your chips. Duyvis lists a 60 g pack, while Jumbo lists a 125 g snack mix; these are retail pack sizes, not personal serving recommendations.
First decide how much you want to take with you for this occasion, then check whether a small bag or a larger pack suits you.
Salted peanuts, unsalted nuts and a peanut and raisin mix are different product choices. Even with a familiar brand, ingredients and allergens can vary from one product to another.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact pack. Choose an unsalted option if that’s what you’re looking for.
The Duyvis portion pack listed by Foods & Goods consists of 20 individual 60 g bags, totalling 1,200 g. It’s a pack for several occasions when you want to take a snack with you.
Before choosing, check how many bags and how much in total you actually want to buy.
