If organic certification matters to you, look for the EU organic logo and the accompanying inspection and farming information where applicable. The European Commission explains when the logo can be used. ‘Natural’ or ‘unroasted’ does not, on its own, prove organic certification. Also choose based on the ingredients, allergen information and how much you want to take with you.
You want to take almonds with you to enjoy alongside your coffee, and verifiable organic production matters more to you than words such as ‘natural’ or ‘pure’. Check for the EU organic logo and the accompanying inspection and farming information. The European Commission sets out the conditions for using the logo.
You’re looking for unsalted almonds that you can portion out in advance, without having to prepare anything in the morning. Choose a pack size that suits your routine and keep the rest tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place. This follows the Food Centre’s storage advice.
You can eat almonds, but also need to consider the possible presence of other nuts, peanuts or sesame. Check the allergen information on the current packaging; organic certification does not replace this check.
First decide what matters most to you: certification, an unsalted recipe, allergen information or being able to portion the almonds in advance. This will help you compare product information more effectively.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Check for the EU organic logo and, where applicable, the inspection code and farming statement. An inspection code is not the same as a country of cultivation. | If organic production is my main reason for choosing, I want to be able to assess the label and origin information. Around 36% of consumers give verifiable certification top priority. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Read the product description and ingredients; don’t rely solely on terms such as ‘no oil’ or ‘natural’. | For breakfast alongside my coffee, I’m looking for almonds with no added salt and want to be able to check the ingredients easily. Around 29% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Allergens | Check both the ingredients and any precautionary statements on the current packaging. | If I need to consider certain allergens, I want to check the information for this exact variant. Around 14% of consumers say allergen information is their main priority when choosing. |
| Portioning and storage | Compare the net weight with how much you want to take with you, and check whether you can seal the rest securely. | I want to prepare a portion to take with me and store the remaining almonds safely at home. Around 21% of consumers put portability and storage first. |
AH lists 150 grams for the variant reviewed, while Jumbo lists 175 grams; PLUS offers a 150-gram tub. These are pack weights, not recommended portions. The Food Centre advises storing almonds in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark, dry place.
These words do not, on their own, indicate organic certification. Duyvis describes one variant as oven-roasted with no added oil; Lidl uses the phrase ‘all natural’ for Alesto almonds. Neither description replaces verifiable organic information.
Assess the organic label and certification information separately from taste and processing details.
An organic label does not tell you whether a product meets your allergen requirements. Warnings can also differ between brands and variants.
Check the ingredients and precautionary statements on the specific pack every time you buy.
Packs containing multiple portions need to be portioned out in advance. A tub is not automatically suitable for carrying loose in a bag.
Take your planned amount in a tightly sealed container and seal the remaining supply securely straight away.

No, the EU organic logo is not compulsory in every case. According to the European Commission, it must appear on prepacked organic food produced in the EU; for certain imported and unpackaged organic products, its use is optional. If the logo is used, the pack must also display the inspection code and farming statement.
No, an inspection code and a farming statement provide different information. Jumbo’s product page lists NL-BIO-01 alongside non-EU agriculture. Use the farming statement and any additional product-specific origin information to assess where the almonds come from.
Store unsalted almonds in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark, dry place. For an opened pack, the Food Centre gives six months in a kitchen cupboard as general advice. Also follow the storage instructions on the pack, and don’t eat almonds that are rancid or mouldy.
No, a serving size on the label is not a personal recommendation. AH lists six 25-gram servings and Jumbo lists seven labelled servings; this information describes how the portions are set out on the pack.
Read both the ingredients and the precautionary statements on the pack for the specific variant. The NVWA states that, since 1 January 2026, rules have applied in the Netherlands to warnings about possible cross-contamination on prepacked products. These warnings do not replace information about ingredients that are present.
