If you want to buy organic, check the organic labelling, the EU organic logo and the accompanying control code. ‘Unroasted’ or ‘unsalted’ alone says nothing about whether a product was produced organically. If you’re buying almonds for breakfast, check the salt declaration and ingredients separately. When shopping online, choose a delivery slot before checking which options are available.
Who is this choice relevant to?
Organic breakfast shoppers
If you’re looking for almonds for breakfast and want to verify that they were produced organically, look beyond terms such as ‘natural’. Check whether they’re unsalted as well as looking for certification. Skal Biocontrole and the European Commission explain how organic labelling and control codes help you check this.
Weekly grocery shoppers
If you want to add almonds to an existing online grocery order, what you can actually order depends on your chosen delivery slot and the option available. Albert Heijn says that stock is shown after you’ve chosen a delivery slot.
Budget-conscious breakfast shoppers
When comparing pack sizes and the total order, don’t just look at the pack itself. Consider whether you can add the almonds to your existing grocery order, and what quantity suits the way you use them.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, check the organic labelling. Then decide which option suits your breakfast, and finally see whether it can be delivered with your groceries.

What to check before buying |
Who is this important to? |
| Organic certification |
Check the organic labelling, the EU organic logo, the control code and the stated country of agricultural origin. Jumbo lists NL-BIO-01 for its 175 g pack of organic unroasted almonds. |
Do you want to verify that the product was produced organically rather than relying on terms such as ‘natural’? Around 28% of consumers who prioritise this would choose certification as their top priority when buying. |
| Option for breakfast |
Read the salt declaration and ingredients; organic doesn’t automatically mean unsalted. Also check whether the product name says ‘unroasted’ or specifies another option. |
Are you looking for almonds for breakfast, with the unsalted option being essential? Around 22% of consumers would make the breakfast option their top priority. |
| Availability for delivery |
Choose your delivery slot first, then check the exact option. An online product listing doesn’t confirm that the product will be available for every delivery slot. |
Do you want your almonds delivered with your planned grocery shop? Around 22% of consumers who prioritise delivery availability would make it their top priority when buying. |
| Quantity and order |
Compare the net weight and consider whether the quantity suits your needs and can be added to your existing grocery order. |
Do you want to choose a suitable quantity without placing a separate order from your regular shop? Around 17% of consumers would make how well it fits into their overall order their top priority. |
| Allergen information |
Read the information for the exact product and check the packaging when it arrives. Recheck the details if you choose a substitute. |
Do you want to check the allergen information for the exact option you’re buying? Around 11% of consumers who prioritise this would make the information on the packaging their top priority. |
Avoiding common buying mistakes
-
Confusing unroasted or unsalted with organic
These terms describe product characteristics other than organic production. An unsalted or unroasted option doesn’t, by itself, confirm organic certification.
Check the organic labelling and control code separately from the information about processing and salt.
-
Assuming a product page shows current delivery stock
A product may appear in a public catalogue without being available for your delivery slot. Albert Heijn says stock is shown after you’ve chosen a delivery slot; the category page we viewed listed the 150 g organic unroasted option as available in-store only.
Choose your delivery slot first, then check the exact option and any substitutions.
If the option you want isn’t available, you may need to change your order.
-
Looking only at the pack
Comparing packs alone won’t tell you whether the quantity suits your needs or fits into your existing grocery order.
Check the net weight and decide whether you can add the almonds to an order you were already planning to place.
-
Assuming one option’s features apply to another
An organic product listing and an unroasted, unsalted option may refer to separate products. So don’t assume that the same features apply when choosing a substitute.
For the new option, check the organic labelling, salt declaration and allergen information again.
Brands to consider
Jumbo
Worth considering if you’re looking for organic, unroasted almonds.
- The 175 g product listing names the European organic logo and control code NL-BIO-01.
- The stated agricultural origin is non-EU; the separate reference to France doesn’t necessarily mean that France is where the almonds were grown. The product page doesn’t confirm stock for your delivery slot.
Albert Heijn
Worth considering if you want to add almonds to an existing Albert Heijn delivery order.
- Albert Heijn says you’ll see the correct stock after choosing a delivery slot.
- The category page we viewed listed the 150 g organic unroasted option as available in-store only. Check stock for your chosen delivery slot.
PLUS
Worth considering, with separate listings for 150 g packs of organic almonds and 200 g packs of unroasted, unsalted almonds.
- PLUS lists both options as available to order online.
- The organic listing and the unroasted, unsalted listing describe different options. Don’t assume that the features of one apply to the other.
Duyvis
Worth considering if you’re mainly looking for an unsalted option for breakfast.
- Duyvis describes Unsalted Almonds as unsalted and suitable for breakfast.
- This is the manufacturer’s description, not confirmation of organic certification.

Frequently asked questions
Does every pack of organic almonds need to carry the European organic logo?
Check the requirements that apply to the product. The European Commission states that the EU organic logo is mandatory for pre-packed organic food produced in the EU. The control code and the declaration of agricultural origin are also important.
Does NL-BIO-01 mean that the almonds were grown in the Netherlands?
No. The control code refers to the control body; agricultural origin is listed separately. Jumbo’s organic unroasted almonds list non-EU agriculture alongside NL-BIO-01.
Why can I see an almond product online but not have it delivered?
A public product listing doesn’t mean the product is in stock for your delivery slot. Albert Heijn says you need to choose a delivery slot first to see the correct stock; the almond category page we viewed listed the 150 g organic unroasted option as available in-store only.
Can I have just one pack of almonds delivered by Albert Heijn?
According to Albert Heijn’s ordering information on 12 October 2026, the standard online ordering option had a minimum product spend of €45. Adding a pack to an existing grocery order may therefore be the best option; also check the charges and stock for your delivery slot.
Where can I check the allergen information for almonds?
Check the information for the exact product and read the packaging when it arrives. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed products. Check the details again if you choose a substitute.
