If you want organic cocktail nuts, check the organic status of the specific pack: a natural look or a brand name isn’t proof. For pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic, the EU organic logo is mandatory. Uncoated organic nuts are a different choice from peanuts with a crunchy coating.
You want a morning coffee snack with an organic status you can verify, not just a natural look. Check the label and the relevant control information. The European Commission explains when the EU organic logo is used.

For pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic, the EU organic logo is mandatory. The control code and an indication of the agricultural origin must also be included. For imported and non-pre-packed organic products, the logo may be optional; its absence alone does not prove that a product isn’t organic. The European Commission explains these requirements.
