Frequently asked questions
Is 25 g of party nuts a recommended maximum if you want to lose weight?
No. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as a reference portion and lists 133 kcal for general party nuts. It isn’t a personal recommended maximum. Check the label for your variety and take account of how much you actually eat.
Should party nuts be kept in the freezer?
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging. For the Jumbo Cocktail and PLUS varieties mentioned, the advice is to store them in a cool, dry, dark place; it doesn’t say to freeze them. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a tightly sealed container in a dry place.
What information must appear on pre-packed party nuts?
European labelling rules require, among other things, an ingredients list, allergen information, net quantity, durability information and nutritional values. Allergens must be clearly highlighted in the ingredients list. This information helps you assess the product, but doesn’t automatically prove that a variety suits your diet.
Can you keep track of how much you eat without following a brand’s weight-loss claim?
Yes. With Mijn Eetmeter from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, you can log your food and drink each day and get an overview of energy, nutrients, and whether your food and drink are inside or outside the Wheel of Five guidelines. Log the amount you actually eat; the tool doesn’t prove that party nuts help you lose weight.
Who can you contact if the product information or quality isn’t right?
For questions or comments about AH Provencale party nuts, the product page directs you to Albert Heijn customer services. Keep the packaging and product details so you can discuss the exact variety. This isn’t a general refund guarantee for products from all retailers.
