Snackers on camping trips
If you want to take a snack with you without measuring it out of a larger bag first, check the weight per pack and the ingredients. Foods & Goods lists the Duyvis Portion Pack as containing twenty individual 60-gram bags.
Who are these packs for?
Campers looking for unsalted nuts
If you want unsalted nuts and prefer to decide on your own portion size, larger packs are an option; just bear in mind that you’ll need to portion them yourself. Albert Heijn, Lidl and PLUS each describe a 200-gram pack of unsalted mixed nuts.
Campers stocking up for several days
If you’ll be taking nuts from the same bag on several occasions, it’s also worth thinking about how you’ll seal and store the rest. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a well-sealed container in a cool, dark and dry place.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want packs you can take with you straight away or a bag you can portion yourself. Then consider how you’ll store any opened nuts.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Foods & Goods lists the Duyvis Portion Pack as containing 20 individual 60 g bags. Check the weight per bag. | If I don’t want to measure out a portion while I’m out and about, I prefer a pack I can take on its own. Around 39% of consumers prioritise ready-to-go packs. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Read the ingredients and check that the pack is described as unsalted; ‘unroasted’ and ‘roasted’ don’t in themselves tell you whether salt has been added. | If I want unsalted nuts and can measure out my own portions, I focus on the ingredients. Around 23% of consumers prioritise unsalted ingredients. |
| Storage after opening | Check whether the bag is resealable and follow the storage advice. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a cool, dark and dry place. | If I’ll be taking nuts from the same bag over several days, I want to be able to seal it securely after each snack. Around 23% of consumers give storage the highest priority. |
| How much to take on your trip | Compare the total amount with how much you want to take: the portion pack mentioned contains 20 bags of 60 g, while several larger bags contain 200 g. | If I only want to take enough for my camping trip, I consider the total amount and what will be left over. Around 15% of consumers prioritise buying an appropriate quantity. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a small bag is automatically the right snack portion
The Duyvis Portion Pack contains 60-gram bags. That’s the pack weight; it doesn’t determine how much you want to eat.
Check the weight per bag and decide in advance whether you want to take the whole contents with you.
-
Confusing unroasted, roasted and unsalted
These are different product characteristics. ALDI says its roasted version contains no added salt or oil, but that description doesn’t automatically apply to the unroasted mix.
Check which specific version you’re buying and read the ingredients on the pack.
-
Assuming resealable means protected from heat
Sealing a pack doesn’t replace the storage advice for nuts. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping them in a cool, dark and dry place.
Seal the pack securely after use and store it somewhere as cool and dry as possible.
-
Overlooking the total amount in each pack
A box of individual packs and a larger bag contain different total amounts and don’t offer the same way to portion the nuts.
Check the number of bags, the weight per bag and the total amount before you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Is one snack pack automatically the right portion?
No. Foods & Goods lists each Duyvis Portion Pack bag as weighing 60 grams. That’s the pack weight; decide for yourself whether that amount suits what you want to take with you.
How should you store opened nuts at a campsite?
Store nuts in a well-sealed container in a cool, dark and dry place. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives this advice for mixed unsalted nuts; a hot tent or car won’t necessarily meet these conditions.
Are unroasted nuts always unsalted?
No. Check both characteristics separately. Lidl describes its mixed nuts as unroasted and unsalted. ALDI says no salt or oil has been added to a specific roasted version; that description doesn’t automatically apply to the unroasted mix.
Where can you check allergens in pre-packed nuts?
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label. So always read the current label; a product page isn’t proof that a product is safe for someone with a particular allergy. New rules on precautionary allergen labelling also apply in the Netherlands from 1 January 2026.
Are whole nuts suitable for young children at a campsite?
The Digestive Diseases Foundation warns that loose nuts can cause choking in children under four. This is safety advice, not a legal age limit. Jumbo also warns that young children can choke on nuts.
