Compare party nuts on two separate points: the price per kilo of the exact pack and the nutritional values of the variety you want to eat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 133 kcal per 25 g as a reference for general party nuts. This is a reference, not a personal maximum or a measurement of every variety. A lower price per kilo, by itself, says nothing about nutritional values or weight management.
You want to keep eating party nuts and check how much energy your weighed portion provides. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 133 kcal for 25 g of general party nuts; for a specific variety, use the nutritional information on the pack.
You’re looking for a party snack within your budget and want to compare packs by price per kilo. A price comparison won’t tell you about nutritional values or whether a product suits your eating pattern.
You want to check the ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information for the exact variety. According to the European Union, allergens must be clearly highlighted in the ingredients list. If you have a food allergy, check the current packaging.
First, decide which factor matters most to you. Then compare the packaging and nutritional information for the variety you’re actually considering.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and energy | Weigh the amount you eat and calculate the energy using the nutritional value per 100 g for the exact variety. | If you want to match the amount you eat to your energy intake, calculate it using your own portion. Around 42% of consumers say portion and energy are their top priority. |
| Price per kilo | Compare the price per kilo for the flavour and pack you’ve chosen, and check that the net weight matches. | If you want to stay within your budget, comparing the price per kilo makes it easier to assess packs of different weights side by side. Around 33% of consumers say price is their top priority. |
| Nutritional information | Read the nutrition table and ingredients for the exact variety, and compare values for the same quantity. | If you want to assess how a snack fits into your overall diet, look beyond its energy content alone. Around 17% of consumers put nutritional quality first. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients list, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the current packaging. | If you have a food allergy, make sure the variety you choose is suitable for you before considering the price. Around 8% of consumers put allergen safety first. |
A lower price per kilo tells you about the price, not the nutritional values or the effect on your weight. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre emphasises that energy intake and your overall diet are relevant to weight management.
Assess price and nutritional information separately, and consider how much you actually eat.
The 133 kcal per 25 g listed by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre is a general category reference, not a measurement of every pack.
Use the nutrition table for the exact variety to calculate the energy in your weighed portion.
A manufacturer can describe a flavour and a supermarket can promote a product, but this wording doesn’t prove any benefit for weight management.
Separate flavour descriptions and marketing claims from verifiable information, such as the packaging, price per kilo and nutrition table.
The flavour name doesn’t tell you which allergens are in the ingredients. On 1 May 2025, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) published a warning about undeclared soya in AH Shanghai party nuts. This historical notice doesn’t automatically apply to other products or varieties.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging, and follow any warning that applies to your product.

This variety is a good fit if you’re looking for a mild curry flavour and want to calculate the energy content of a weighed portion.
The product information lists 539 kcal per 100 g; use the nutritional value on the pack to assess your own portion.
Contains peanuts, gluten (wheat and barley) and soya; may contain traces of milk, nuts and mustard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
