Who are these options for?

If you’re looking for a simple breakfast staple

You want organic cashews with few ingredients, to eat on their own or add to a breakfast you take with you. Unroasted cashews with no added cooking fat may be important product features for you.

If you take cashews with you every day

You want to portion some out at home and store the rest properly. So, check the pack size, whether you can reseal the pack after opening, and the storage instructions on the label.

If you prefer roasted nuts

You’re looking for an organic roasted snack and are happy for it to contain added oil. It’s still important to distinguish between unsalted and salted varieties.

What should you look for when buying?

What to consider What to look for Who is this important to?

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming natural or unroasted means organic

    The way a product is prepared or its natural appearance does not, on its own, prove that it has organic certification.

    Check the organic product designation and corresponding certification details on the packaging.

  • Assuming unsalted means it contains only cashews

    An unsalted product may still contain oil. For example, the checked 200 g AH unsalted variety lists cashews and sunflower oil.

    Read the ingredients list if you want to avoid added cooking fat.

  • Buying a larger pack without a storage routine

    A larger pack may mean you need to prepare portions at home and store the remainder carefully.

    Choose a pack size that suits how much you use, and seal the pack properly after portioning. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container.

  • Assuming a product page means it’s currently available

    The Jumbo listing for Organic Unroasted Cashews says that the product is no longer part of its online range. So, an existing product page doesn’t confirm that you can order it.

    Check the current order status or ask your shop before adding the product to your shopping plans.

    Planning a shop visit or order around a product that turns out to be unavailable can cost you extra time.

Frequently asked questions

What information should appear with the EU organic logo?

According to the European Commission, the EU organic logo should be accompanied by a control code and an indication of EU, non-EU or EU/non-EU agriculture. The logo is compulsory for pre-packed organic food produced in the EU; its use is optional for imported products that comply with EU rules.

Can I eat cashews if I’m allergic to them?

No. Organic certification doesn’t change the fact that the product contains cashews. Cashews are one of the tree nut allergens that must be listed on labels. Also check the allergen information and warnings on the packaging.

How should I store the rest after preparing a portion to take with me?

Store nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container, and follow the instructions on your pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing them somewhere cool, for example at 10–15 °C.

Does unsalted mean that the pack contains only cashews?

No. Unsalted doesn’t mean a product contains only cashews. For example, the checked 200 g AH unsalted variety also lists sunflower oil, so check the ingredients list on the specific pack.

Which cashews are covered by the NVWA warning about metal fragments?

The NVWA warning dated 20 May 2026 concerns Trader Joe’s 170 g unsalted cashews with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026. The warning applies to that specific product, not to all ALDI cashews.
