Ready to take with you
If you want to grab a bag in the morning without weighing or transferring nuts first, a multipack of individual portions could be a good fit. Duyvis lists a Walnut multipack with four 30 g bags.
Who are multipacks useful for?
Dividing between lunchboxes
If you’re preparing nuts for several people, you can choose between one bag per person and weighing out portions yourself. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that whole nuts can pose a choking risk for children; a small bag doesn’t change that.
Portioning in advance
If you want to adjust portions for different occasions, you can weigh them out from a larger pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container.
What should you look for when choosing?
Choose a pack size based on how much preparation you want to do, what you’re looking for at breakfast and who the nuts are for.
| What matters when buying? | What should you check? | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Check the number of individual bags and the weight of each one. | If you want to head out in the morning without weighing anything, a ready-made bag is useful; around 33% of consumers prioritise convenience on the go. |
| What’s in your breakfast | Read the ingredients list and consider how the nuts fit in with the rest of your breakfast. | If you want to choose carefully what you add to yoghurt, fruit or cereal, the contents matter more than the pack size alone; around 25% of consumers prioritise what goes into their breakfast. |
| Sharing between people | Count the people and planned occasions, then compare that with the number of individual bags. | If you’re preparing bags for several lunchboxes, you’ll want to know whether there are enough portions; around 25% of consumers prioritise sharing portions. |
| Suitable for the recipient | Check the allergen information and, for children, consider the risk posed by whole nuts. | When you’re giving nuts to someone else, consider the ingredients and how they’ll be eaten by each recipient; around 17% of consumers prioritise safety and suitability. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a portion pack is suitable for everyone
The pack size doesn’t tell you whether the contents are suitable for someone with a food allergy, and whole nuts remain a consideration for young children.
Read the allergen information for the intended recipient. Take extra care with whole nuts and peanuts when it comes to children.
-
Confusing the total weight with the number of occasions you can take them with you
A multipack with four bags contains four individual bags; that won’t necessarily be enough for a full working week or for several people.
Count the people and occasions, then work out how many bags you’ll need.
-
Treating all nut products as the same breakfast choice
The type of packaging tells you nothing about the salt, sugar or any coating. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre distinguishes between unsalted nuts and salted, sugared or chocolate-coated varieties.
First choose the ingredients you’re looking for, then see which pack size suits you.
-
Portioning nuts yourself without thinking about storage
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says nuts should be stored in a dry place in a tightly sealed container. Portioning them yourself also takes preparation and suitable sealable packaging.
Plan how you’ll store both the portions and the remaining nuts before choosing a larger bag.

Frequently asked questions
How many multipacks do you need for several breakfasts or lunchbox occasions?
Multiply the number of people receiving a bag by the number of planned occasions, then divide by the number of bags in each multipack. With the Duyvis pack of four bags, two people need ten bags for five occasions, which means three multipacks. This is a planning calculation, not nutritional advice.
How should you store nuts if you portion them yourself?
Store any remaining nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says the best option is to keep them in a cool place at 10 to 15 °C. Also follow the storage and use-by information on the pack; this isn’t a fixed shelf life once opened.
Can you put whole nuts in any child’s lunchbox?
No. Consider whether they’re suitable for the individual child. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that whole nuts and peanuts can pose a choking risk. A small portion pack doesn’t remove that risk.
What allergen information must packaging in the Netherlands provide?
The NVWA outlines the requirement to declare 14 allergens on food products. New rules on warnings about possible cross-contamination also apply from 1 January 2026. This information doesn’t automatically make a nut mix suitable for someone with an allergy; check the pack for the intended recipient.
What should you do if the ingredient information on the pack differs from the product page?
Check the pack you’ve received before using the product. Albert Heijn warns that product information can change and advises customers to read the packaging; contact customer services if you have any questions.
