Who are these packs for?

Individual packs to take to the office

You want colleagues to be able to grab an individual portion for their desk or lunchbox, without weighing it out yourself first. Duyvis lists four 30 g sachets for its Unsalted Nutmix Walnut, and Jumbo has a product page for this variety.

Those who portion office supplies themselves

You want a larger pack and are happy to portion the contents yourself. PLUS and Jumbo list nut mixes in 500 g packs; these are not confirmed multipacks with individual portion sachets.

Readers who check ingredients and allergens

You want to check the ingredients, for example to see whether a mix is unsalted. If you have a relevant food allergy, the ingredients and warnings on the current packaging are what matter. An individual sachet is not suitable if it contains an allergen you are allergic to.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want ready-to-hand-out sachets or would rather portion the contents yourself. Then check the ingredients, pack size and how you’ll keep the product information with the snack bowl.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Individual sachets Does the pack state the number of sachets and the weight of each one? Is that fixed portion right for how you’ll use them? If I want to hand something out or take it with me without weighing it myself, I look at the number of sachets and their contents. Around 36% of consumers say individual portions to take with them are their top purchasing priority.
Ingredients and allergens Which types of nuts does the mix contain? Is it unsalted if that’s what you prefer, and what allergen warnings are on the packaging? If the ingredients or a relevant allergen restriction determine my choice, I check the product information for each variety. Around 29% of consumers prioritise ingredients and allergens.
Stock and replenishment How much is in the pack overall, and how many individual portions does it actually provide? If I’m planning office supplies, I want a pack size that suits how much we use and how often we restock. Around 21% of consumers say stock levels and replenishment are their top purchasing priority.
Storage and product information Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the packaging. If you portion the contents yourself, keep the ingredients and allergen information too. If a pack won’t be used up straight away, I want to keep its contents identifiable and be able to check the product information. Around 14% of consumers say storage and clear product information are their top purchasing priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large pack contains individual portions

    A 500 g stand-up pouch doesn’t offer the same convenience for taking nuts with you as a multipack of individual sachets, unless you do some extra preparation.

    Check both the total weight and the stated number of individual sachets.

    Portioning the contents yourself takes extra effort and may require your own portion containers.

  • Prioritising convenient packaging over allergen information

    Relevant allergens depend on the ingredients and warnings, not on the number of sachets.

    If you have a relevant allergy, read the current information on the packaging. Keep it available when sharing from a communal snack bowl.

Brands to consider

The product examples mentioned vary in ingredients and packaging. A brand mention alone doesn’t tell you whether a specific variety is available.

Duyvis

The manufacturer lists a multipack of 4 × 30 g for its Unsalted Nutmix Walnut.

  • The manufacturer lists almonds, walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts as ingredients; Jumbo has a Dutch product page for the 4 × 30 g variety.
  • Packaging information is not an independent taste assessment and doesn’t in itself show that the product offers better value.

Albert Heijn

The range page lists its own nut mixes, as well as a product listing for Duyvis Unsal nutmix walnut mp.

  • Several nut mixes and pack sizes are listed.
  • A pack weight doesn’t confirm that a product consists of individual portion sachets.

Jumbo

The product listings include both the Duyvis multipack of 4 × 30 g and Jumbo’s own 500 g nut mix.

  • These examples clearly show the difference between individual sachets and a larger pack.
  • ‘Value pack’ is part of the product name and doesn’t prove an independently verified saving.

Lidl

Lidl Netherlands names Alesto as its own-label brand for nuts.

  • Lidl’s own communications state the relationship between Lidl and Alesto.
  • This brand mention doesn’t confirm a specific multipack variety or an independent product assessment.

Aldi

An ALDI product listing names a 200 g Trader Joe’s nut and fruit mix or nut and raisin mix.

  • The product listing makes clear that this is a mixed snack with fruit or raisins.
  • The stated contents don’t confirm that the pack contains individual portion sachets.

PLUS

PLUS lists an unroasted, unsalted nut mix in a 500 g stand-up pouch.

  • The product listing describes a larger pack for anyone who wants to portion the contents themselves.
  • This is not a confirmed multipack with individual sachets, and it doesn’t prove that portioning the nuts yourself is cheaper.

Frequently asked questions

Does 500 g mean you’re buying a multipack?

No. PLUS lists a 500 g stand-up pouch, while Duyvis explicitly lists a multipack of 4 × 30 g for its Unsalted Nutmix Walnut. Check the number of individual sachets; the total weight alone won’t tell you whether they’re included.

Is 30 g automatically the recommended daily portion?

No. The 30 g is the contents of each sachet in this Duyvis pack; it is not, in itself, personal dietary advice.

What should you do with allergen information when decanting nuts?

Keep the original packaging for reference and make sure you know which mix is in the snack bowl. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for non-prepacked foods must be provided to consumers in another way when the rules for professional food providers apply. This doesn’t automatically mean the same requirement applies to every informal office snack bowl.

Which allergen rules apply to prepacked nuts?

For prepacked products, allergen information must appear on the label. Since 1 January 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority has also checked whether warnings about possible cross-contamination are used correctly. As a consumer, check the ingredients and warnings for the variety you choose.

Can you use the same storage time for all nut mixes?

No, follow the instructions on the pack you have. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives specific advice for opened, unsalted cashews and lists rancidity, chewiness or mould as signs of spoilage. That advice isn’t a fixed storage period for every nut mix.
