An organic designation doesn’t mean there are no other ingredients. The roasted varieties reviewed from Albert Heijn and BIO+ also contain sunflower oil.
Read the ingredients list alongside the organic designation. If you don’t want added oil, choose a variety whose ingredients list only cashew nuts.
Lidl describes Fairtrade-related supply chain measures for its separate Way To Go range. This does not prove that a cashew variety is organically certified.
Check the organic designation on the packaging of the exact product you want to take with you, and assess different certification marks separately.
Nuts need to be stored somewhere cool, dark and dry. A general storage period for a kitchen cupboard won’t automatically apply to a warm or damp tent.
Choose a pack size that suits how much you’ll use on your trip, and seal the pack securely after use, or use an airtight container.
These designations don’t change the fact that the product contains cashew nuts or any other allergens that may be present. Product pages may also include warnings about young children.
