A single-serve snack bag is handy if you want to set off without any preparation; a larger bag lets you measure out portions in advance. If you’re choosing snack bags, check the weight of each one: the Duyvis multipack listed by bol contains 60-gram bags, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a handful in a general nutrition table. Also choose based on the ingredients of the specific product, and check the allergen information and guidance for young children if you’re sharing.
You’re looking for an individual bag of nuts that you can take with you straight away, and want to know how much it actually contains. The product listing on bol describes Duyvis Salted Peanuts as a multipack of 60-gram bags.
You want an unsalted nut snack and would rather measure out an amount from a larger bag in advance. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a handful in a general nutrition table; this isn’t a required portion size.
You’re taking nuts for several people and are mindful of the ingredients, how to store leftovers and the allergen information on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises taking extra care with whole nuts and peanuts around young children because of the risk of choking.
First, decide whether you want to head out without any preparation or would rather measure out portions yourself. Then compare the amount and ingredients of the specific product, and check how you can store any leftovers.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Convenience and quantity | Check the number of bags and the weight of each one; decide in advance whether you want to eat the contents in one go. | If you want to head out without weighing anything, an individual bag is practical, but it may contain more than you want to take. Around 31% of consumers prioritise convenience when taking snacks with them. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Read the product description and ingredients, and check the salt content per 100 grams of the product you’re considering. | If you’re specifically looking for an unsalted mix, compare the exact products rather than just the brand name. Around 25% of consumers give this ingredient profile top priority. |
| Flavour and mix | Check which nuts or peanuts it contains, how they’ve been prepared and which flavourings have been added. | If flavour is your main priority, look at the types of nuts and flavourings: a plain mix and a seasoned snack are different choices. Around 19% of consumers look first at flavour and ingredients. |
| Portioning and storage | Compare the net weight and check the storage instructions and how the packaging closes. | If you want to measure out several portions, bear in mind that this takes preparation and that leftovers need to be kept dry in a tightly sealed container. Around 13% of consumers prioritise portioning and storage. |
| Sharing safely | Check the ingredients and allergen information on the actual packaging, and consider who will be eating the snacks. | If you’re sharing nuts, choose with everyone eating them in mind, and don’t leave whole nuts or peanuts unattended within reach of young children. Around 12% of consumers prioritise sharing safely. |
The Duyvis multipack listed by bol contains individual 60-gram bags. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a handful in a general nutrition table, so the contents of a bag don’t automatically determine how much you’ll want to eat.
Check the weight of each bag and decide in advance whether you want to eat all of it or save some for later.
The PLUS product page describes a stand-up pouch, but that doesn’t automatically mean the packaging can be resealed. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a tightly sealed container in a dry place.
Check the seal before you set off and, if necessary, take a suitable resealable container with you.

No. The Duyvis multipack listed by bol contains 60-gram bags, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses a 25-gram handful in a general nutrition table. Decide for yourself how much you want to take; the number of bags doesn’t determine that.
Use a container that seals tightly and keep the nuts dry. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing them somewhere cool, for example at 10 to 15 °C; also follow the storage instructions on the packaging you choose. This isn’t a requirement to keep them chilled during a picnic.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the actual packaging, even if you’ve bought the product before. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label; new rules on warnings about allergens that may be present unintentionally also apply from 1 January 2026.
Don’t leave a shared bag of whole nuts or peanuts unattended within reach of young children. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns about the risk of choking; this is safety advice, not a legal age limit.
Do not eat this specific product. Albert Heijn has warned that it may contain metal particles and asks customers not to consume it. The warning applies to tubs with that best-before date, not all AH peanuts.
