Who is this relevant to?

Regular organic nut eaters

You regularly eat nuts as a snack or use them in dishes, and are looking for an organic option in a quantity that suits your cupboard. Albert Heijn and PLUS list organic nut mixes in different weights and combinations.

People buying smaller quantities

You don't want to open more than you can use and are looking for a smaller pack with clear ingredients and storage instructions. The organic PLUS nut mix is available in a 150 g tub.

People using nuts for breakfast and baking

You want a mix for yoghurt or recipes and would like to know whether it is mostly nuts, or also contains fruit and seeds. According to Albert Heijn, the AH Dadel & notenmix contains dates, figs and seeds, among other ingredients.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Organic labelling Check the label on the exact pack. For the EU organic logo, also look for the control code and the indication of where the agricultural ingredients were farmed. If I want to be sure that the option I choose is labelled organic, I check the packaging itself. For around 26% of consumers, verifiable organic origin is a priority.
Comparable contents Compare the net weight and ingredients of mixes that are sufficiently similar; a fruit-and-seed mix is not a plain nut mix. I only want to compare packs side by side when their contents match what I'm looking for. Around 26% of consumers prefer to compare products with similar quantities and ingredients.
Ingredients Check which ingredients are included and what proportion they make up. Look separately at added salt and added sugars if these matter to you. For breakfast, recipes or snacking, I want to choose a mix that suits how I'll use it, rather than relying on the name alone. This is the top priority for around 21% of consumers.
Quantity and storage Choose a pack size that matches how much you use. Follow the storage instructions on the packaging and seal opened nuts well. I want to avoid having an opened pack around for longer than I'd like. Around 16% of consumers focus mainly on a quantity that suits their consumption and storage space.
Allergens Read the ingredients and precautionary warnings on the exact product and current packaging. If someone in my household has an allergy, I first check whether the specific pack is suitable for their needs. For around 11% of consumers, allergen suitability is the most important purchase consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large bag is automatically better value

    A larger pack doesn't automatically mean the contents suit how you use them. Compare the ingredients and quantity, and choose an amount you can use and store.

    Base your purchase on how much you actually use, and store opened nuts in a tightly sealed container.

  • Comparing the price per kilo of a fruit-and-seed mix with that of plain nuts

    A mix with fruit and seeds is different from a pack containing only nuts. According to Albert Heijn, the AH Dadel & notenmix contains 15% almonds.

    Check the ingredient percentages before comparing mixes.

  • Assuming unroasted means organic

    How a product is prepared does not prove that it is organic. The European Commission sets out separate requirements for the EU organic logo and the accompanying labelling.

    Check the organic credentials of the exact product on the packaging.

  • Assuming organic means suitable for someone with an allergy

    An organic label does not tell you whether a mix is suitable for someone with an allergy. Nut mixes can contain several different types of nuts.

    If there is a relevant allergy, check the ingredients and precautionary warnings on the current packaging.

Brands to consider

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists an organic unroasted nut mix, as well as a separate mix containing dates, fruit, seeds and nuts.

  • The product information gives weights and ingredients; the plain mix and the fruit-and-seed mix can be assessed as different product types.
  • The name ‘nut mix’ does not mean that the date version contains only nuts.

PLUS

Biologisch PLUS offers an unroasted, unsalted nut mix in a 150 g tub.

  • The product information lists ingredient percentages and storage instructions.
  • Check the information on the pack you choose if you want to compare ingredients or storage advice.

Jumbo

Jumbo has published product information for a 150 g organic unroasted nut mix.

  • The product page lists five types of nuts.
  • The product page says this option is no longer part of the online range, so this information does not confirm that it is currently available to order.

Lidl

Lidl describes a range under the Alesto brand that includes nuts, dried fruit and party snacks.

  • The brand page provides context about the range.
  • The Alesto brand name alone does not indicate that a particular nut product is organic.

ALDI

Under Trader Joe’s, ALDI lists products including a 200 g nut-and-fruit mix or nut-and-raisin mix.

  • The product information gives the product type and weight.
  • Having a separate organic range does not prove that this Trader Joe’s product is organic.

Duyvis

Duyvis describes a range that includes peanuts, mixes and coated snacks to enjoy with drinks.

  • The product information distinguishes between preparation methods and directs customers to the packaging and product checker for allergen information.
  • The preparation method or brand name does not confirm that a particular product is organic.

Frequently asked questions

Does organic packaging always need to display the green EU leaf?

Not in every situation. According to the European Commission, the EU organic logo is compulsory for pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic; different rules apply to imported and unpackaged products. Also check the control code and the indication of where the agricultural ingredients were farmed.

How should I store an opened pack of nuts?

Store nuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark and dry place, and follow the specific instructions on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a container that seals well; its Storage Guide gives six months in a kitchen cupboard and one year in the freezer as general quality guidelines for mixed unsalted nuts. A mix containing fruit may have a different recommended time for use after opening.

What do warnings about possible allergens mean?

Since 1 January 2026, rules have applied in the Netherlands to precautionary warnings about possible cross-contamination. The NVWA specifies the wording ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’, based on a risk assessment. If you have a relevant allergy, always read the current packaging; an organic label does not replace this information.

Are no added sugars and no total sugars the same thing?

No. Albert Heijn lists an average of 0 g of added sugars in the AH Dadel & notenmix, but 25 g of total sugars per 100 g. Check both nutritional values separately if they matter to your choice.

Is a family-size pack of nuts automatically suitable for young children?

No. Albert Heijn warns that young children may choke on nuts in the fruit-and-nut mix reviewed. The size of the pack says nothing about whether the product is suitable to serve to a child.
