If organic certification is your priority, check the labelling on the exact product. A brand name or natural-looking packaging is not proof of organic certification. The European Commission links the EU organic logo to certification by a recognised control authority or control body. If you can do without the crunchy coating, AH Biologisch Notenmix ongebrand is an alternative product to consider: its product information lists the EU organic logo and no added salt, but it is an uncoated nut mix and contains several nut allergens.
You want an organically certified snack and need to know which labels to look for. Check the exact product: the European Commission links the EU organic logo to recognised certification, not just a brand or supermarket name.
You’re looking for seasoned peanuts with a crunchy coating and don’t want to end up with plain, uncoated nuts by mistake. Duyvis describes coated peanuts in several flavours, although product details vary by flavour.
You want to decide how much you eat and keep an eye on added salt. AH Biologisch Notenmix ongebrand is a different type of product; check the portion guidance and allergen information for this mix too.
First decide whether organic certification or the traditional coating matters most: the examples below are different types of product, not like-for-like alternatives.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who might find this important? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Check the EU organic logo, control code and origin statement on the packaging. The European Commission links the logo to recognised organic certification. | If organic certification is essential to me, I check the exact product rather than just the brand name; around 28% of consumers put certification first. |
| Coated or uncoated | Choose between a seasoned, crunchy coating and unroasted nuts. AH Biologisch Notenmix ongebrand is an uncoated alternative, not coated peanuts. | If I’m looking for a snack that suits the way I game, I check the coating first; around 22% of consumers prioritise convenience. |
| Salt and ingredients | Duyvis Borrelnootjes provencale 275 g lists 1,3 g of salt per 100 g. AH Biologisch Notenmix ongebrand lists 0 g of added salt per 100 g; that doesn’t mean it contains no salt at all. Product information from Duyvis and Albert Heijn. | If I want to weigh up salt and ingredients, I compare the information per 100 g and the portion I’ll actually eat; around 22% of consumers prioritise ingredients. |
| Allergens in each variant | Read the ingredients and the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements on the current packaging. Duyvis provencale lists peanuts and wheat; the AH nut mix contains several types of nuts and may contain peanuts. | If allergens determine my first choice, I check the full information for the exact variant; around 17% of consumers prioritise allergen compatibility. |
| Portion and packaging | AH lists the nut mix as 350 g, with 14 portions of 25 g. Decide on your own portion, and follow the storage instructions for your chosen variant once the pack is open. | If I want to portion and store the snack in advance, I compare the pack size with the amount I plan to serve; around 11% of consumers prioritise portion size and packaging. |
A brand name or natural-looking packaging is no substitute for the organic labels on the exact product. The European Commission links the EU organic logo to recognised certification.
Check the labelling on the specific flavour and variant you want to buy.
A mix of unroasted nuts is a different type of product, with a different composition, from peanuts in a seasoned, crunchy coating.
First decide whether you want the coating. Choose an uncoated organic mix only if that different type of product suits what you’re looking for.
The coating and flavouring ingredients may also contain allergens. Duyvis provencale lists peanuts and wheat; PLUS Borrelnoten Mild lists flavourings containing celery and milk.
Read the full ingredients list and current cross-contamination warnings for the exact variant.
A saved product page doesn’t necessarily mean the product is currently available to order. A Jumbo page for organic unroasted nut mix stated that the product was no longer available.
Check the current order status before relying on a product page.
An out-of-date page can mean extra time spent searching.

Check the EU organic logo, control code and statement showing the origin of the agricultural ingredients. According to the European Commission, the EU organic logo may only be used for products certified as organic by a recognised control authority or control body. Pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic must display the logo; this requirement doesn’t necessarily apply to every imported pack.
No. AH Biologisch Notenmix ongebrand is an uncoated nut mix, whereas traditional coated peanuts may be peanuts with a coating. Choose the mix only if you don’t need the traditional coating; the products differ in form and ingredients.
No. Organic certification doesn’t mean a product is free from allergens. AH Biologisch Notenmix ongebrand contains several types of nuts and may contain peanuts. Check the ingredients list and current allergen information for the exact product against your requirements.
No. No added salt isn’t the same as having no salt at all. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g for the exact variant, and bear in mind the portion you choose.
Follow the storage instructions for your chosen variant. For Duyvis provencale, the product information recommends storing it in a cool, dry place and keeping an opened pack in a light- and airtight container.
