When comparing coated peanuts, start by checking the fat content per 100 g, then assess organic certification separately on the packaging of the exact variant. According to the European Commission, the claim ‘low fat’ can only be used for solid foods containing no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g; a smaller serving or an organic label does not change this product requirement.
You compare coated peanuts by their fat content per 100 g, rather than relying on words such as ‘natural’ or looking at a small serving size. A smaller serving of a higher-fat product doesn’t make the product itself low in fat.
You check the organic labelling on the specific packet. You assess the fat content separately.
You want to enjoy the flavour and crunchy coating while knowing how much fat your portion contains. To work this out, you need the nutritional information for the exact variant and the weight of your portion.
Assess organic certification and fat content as two separate characteristics; the nutritional information for the exact variant tells you what you can compare.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Total fat | Compare the total fat per 100 g for the exact flavour variant. According to the European Commission, the ‘low fat’ claim for solid foods applies to products containing no more than 3 g per 100 g. | If I’m watching my total fat intake, I compare the exact variant per 100 g and keep an eye on saturated fat separately. Around 34% of consumers put total fat first. |
| Organic certification | Check the organic labelling on the product. The EU organic logo includes, among other things, a control body code and an indication of the agricultural origin. | When organic production is my main criterion, I check the certification mark on the packet and assess the fat content separately. Around 33% of consumers prioritise certification. |
| Serving size | Weigh your portion and multiply the nutritional value per 100 g by the portion weight, then divide by 100. Use the values on your packet. | If I want to measure how much I have each time I snack, I calculate it using the amount I actually eat. Around 20% of consumers prioritise portion control. |
| Shopping costs | Compare specific products on the same weight basis, and check the certification and nutritional information for each product again. | If I’m watching the cost, I want to make a fair comparison without choosing a product that doesn’t meet my other criteria. Around 13% of consumers prioritise the cost of suitable groceries. |
Duyvis uses this description for Provencale, but the claim does not mean the product is organically certified.
Check the organic labelling on the packet of the exact variant, rather than relying only on a claim about colourings.
A smaller portion contains fewer grams of product, but it doesn’t change the fat content per 100 g. For solid foods, the ‘low fat’ claim threshold applies per 100 g.
First compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then calculate how much fat is in your portion.
On 24 April 2026, Consumentenbond published a price survey of 166 organic products at 13 supermarkets. This comparison does not rank prices for organic coated peanuts.

Multiply the fat content per 100 g by the weight of your portion, then divide by 100. For the Duyvis Cocktail variant described by HANOS, a 25 g portion with 34 g of fat per 100 g works out to 8.5 g of fat. This is a calculation, not dietary advice.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant. The NVWA requires clear allergen information. For the Duyvis Cocktail variant described, HANOS lists peanuts, gluten and milk as present; mustard, nuts and soya may also be present. This information does not automatically apply to other flavours.
Follow the storage advice on the exact packaging. For the Duyvis Cocktail variant described, HANOS recommends storing it in a cool, dry place and using an airtight, lightproof container after opening.
Not necessarily: unsalted nuts are not automatically low in fat. The Voedingscentrum lists 14.9 g of fat, including 1.6 g of saturated fat, in a 25 g handful of unsalted nuts, and includes unsalted nuts in the Dutch Wheel of Five. These are different assessments.
