For yoghurt, choose an unroasted organic nut mix with no added sugar or salt. If you prefer just one type of nut, organic unsalted cashews are another option. As well as checking the organic label, read the ingredients and allergen information: unsalted cashews may still be roasted and contain oil.
If verified organic production matters to you, look beyond words such as ‘pure’ or ‘natural’. The European Commission and the Dutch government explain that organic labelling is subject to inspection.
If you want to add nuts to yoghurt and decide for yourself what else goes in, an unroasted mix containing only nuts is one option. Albert Heijn describes a mix containing four types of nuts.
If you’d rather have cashews than a mix, compare how they’re prepared and check the ingredients too. Albert Heijn and PLUS product information describes cashew varieties containing sunflower oil.
Check the organic label before comparing the ingredients or packaging. The European Commission and the Dutch government describe organic products as being subject to inspection. For the EU organic logo, also check the inspection code and origin statement.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Check the EU organic logo, inspection code and origin statement. | If I’m looking for organically certified nuts, I want to be able to recognise the label on the packaging. Around 29% of consumers prioritise organic certification. |
| Ingredients for yoghurt | Read the ingredients list and check separately for oil, added sugar and salt. | For yoghurt, I want to know which nuts and other ingredients are in the topping, so I can decide for myself what to add. Around 23% of consumers give ingredients for breakfast the highest priority. |
| Allergens | Read both the ingredients list and any precautionary allergen warnings on the current packaging. | If an allergen is a concern for me, I also check for warnings about possible cross-contamination. Around 18% of consumers prioritise relevant allergen information. |
| Type of nut and preparation | Choose between a mix and a single type of nut; check separately whether the nuts are roasted or unroasted. | If I want one type or a mix, how the nuts are prepared also affects my choice. Around 18% of consumers focus mainly on the type of nut and how it’s prepared. |
| Quantity and storage | Choose a net quantity that suits how much you use and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. | I want to choose a quantity that suits how often I use nuts and make sure I can store the packaging properly. Around 12% of consumers prioritise quantity and packaging. |

For pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic, the EU organic logo should be accompanied by the inspection code and origin statement. The European Commission describes statements such as EU agriculture, non-EU agriculture or EU/non-EU agriculture. Don’t assume this requirement applies to every imported pack.
No. Unsalted doesn’t automatically mean unroasted. Albert Heijn describes the cashews reviewed as roasted, so check the preparation description and ingredients list separately.
Check both the ingredients list and any precautionary allergen warnings on the current packaging. For example, BIO+ cashews state that the product may contain peanuts. An organic label on its own doesn’t tell you whether a product is suitable for someone with an allergy.
Store nuts in a tightly sealed container in a dry place, preferably somewhere cool. This is the storage advice from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre; also follow the instructions on your pack.
New rules for precautionary allergen warnings on pre-packed foods have applied in the Netherlands since 1 January 2026. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, a risk assessment must determine whether a warning is needed. The permitted wording is ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’. Always check the current packaging.
