Who these options are for

Hosts and party organisers

If you want to hand out peanuts or fill a bowl, compare small individual bags with larger sharing bags. Bidfood lists both pack formats for Duyvis.

Lunchbox packers

Check the amount per bag, the variety and the allergens listed on the label. For children under four, Amsterdam UMC recommends nut butter instead of whole nuts because of the risk of choking.

Stock planners

Compare the number of individual bags and the total contents with how much you expect to use. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing opened salted peanuts according to the storage instructions provided.

What to consider when choosing

Use the table to choose based on what matters most to you: handing them out, taking them with you, storing supplies or finding your preferred variety.

What to consider What to look for Who is this most important for?
Bag size for sharing Check the number of individual bags and the weight of each one. Bidfood lists Duyvis boxes containing 20 × 60 g and 10 × 235 g. If I want to hand out individual bags at a get-together, I look at the number of bags and the amount in each one. Around 33% of consumers say this is their top purchasing priority.
Taking them in a lunchbox Check the contents per pack, whether the variety is salted or unsalted, and the allergen information. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority lists peanuts as an allergen that must be stated on the label; Amsterdam UMC recommends nut butter instead of whole nuts for children under four. If I want to take peanuts with me or pack them for someone else, I want to choose an amount that suits the occasion and take the child’s age into account. Around 27% of consumers prioritise lunchbox use.
Total quantity and leftovers Calculate the number of bags × grams per bag. A Duyvis box of 20 × 60 g contains 1,200 g; 10 × 235 g contains 2,350 g, according to Bidfood. A 500 g pack from Jumbo is not necessarily divided into individual bags. If I’m stocking up for several get-togethers, I want to know the total amount I’ll have and how to store any opened leftovers. Around 20% of consumers prioritise having enough stock and choosing an amount that suits their needs.
Salted or unsalted Read the exact variety, ingredients and nutritional information. Duyvis lists peanuts, sunflower oil and salt for its salted variety; check allergens separately, as unsalted does not mean allergen-free. If I want to use one stock of peanuts for get-togethers and other occasions, I pay particular attention to whether they’re salted and to the label. Around 20% of consumers prefer an unsalted base.

Avoiding common buying mistakes

  • Mistaking a larger pack for a multipack

    A large single bag doesn’t offer the same option to open individual packs as a box containing several bags.

    Before buying, check whether the pack explicitly states the number of individual bags and the weight of each one. “500 g value pack” on its own doesn’t mean it contains portion-sized bags.

  • Assuming the contents of a bag are a recommended portion

    A pack size, such as 60 g, isn’t automatically a suitable portion for every person or lunchbox.

    Choose the amount thoughtfully. For children under four, Amsterdam UMC recommends nut butter instead of whole nuts because of the risk of choking.

  • Looking only at the number of packs

    Ten sharing bags of 235 g and twenty bags of 60 g differ not only in number, but also significantly in total contents: 2,350 g and 1,200 g respectively, according to Bidfood.

    Compare the total net weight and think about how much you’ll actually need before opening the packs and storing any leftovers.

Brands and retailers to compare

Duyvis

Worth considering for small individual bags and larger boxes of sharing bags.

  • Bidfood lists salted peanuts in packs of 20 bags of 60 g and 10 bags of 235 g. Duyvis also lists an unsalted 235 g bag.
  • The total contents of a box are not automatically a suitable portion.

Albert Heijn

Offers, among other things, AH own-brand peanuts and also lists Duyvis Salted Peanuts 3 pack.

  • The product titles distinguish between the own-brand option, variety and the listed 3-pack.
  • Albert Heijn has issued a warning about AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026: do not eat this specific pack because it may contain metal fragments.

Jumbo

The range includes salted and unsalted peanuts, including a 500 g value pack of salted peanuts.

  • A larger single pack is an option if you don’t need individual bags.
  • “Value pack” alone doesn’t confirm that the pack contains several individual bags.

Lidl

The Alesto range includes, among other things, peanuts in a seasoned batter coating.

  • This variety offers something different from plain salted or unsalted peanuts.
  • Lidl describes the product as crunchy; this is not an independent comparison with other peanuts.

ALDI

The Dutch product page lists Trader Joe’s roasted, unsalted peanuts in a 250 g pack.

  • An unsalted single pack as an alternative to a multipack.
  • The stated 250 g does not mean that the pack contains several portion-sized bags.

PLUS

The range includes 250 g packs of salted peanuts and a 300 g stand-up pouch of unsalted peanuts.

  • For its unsalted stand-up pouch, the PLUS product page lists 0 g of salt per 100 g; this figure applies to this specific product.
  • These packs are not confirmed multipacks with separate inner bags.

Frequently asked questions

How many peanuts are in the Duyvis boxes listed?

The box of 20 bags of 60 g contains 1,200 g in total; the box of 10 bags of 235 g contains 2,350 g. Bidfood lists these pack formats. The total contents are not a recommended number of eating portions.

Are whole peanuts suitable for every child’s lunchbox?

No. Amsterdam UMC recommends nut butter instead of whole nuts for children under four because of the risk of choking. For an older child’s lunchbox, also consider whether whole peanuts are suitable and follow any warnings on the packaging.

How should you store an opened bag of salted peanuts?

Follow the instructions on the specific pack. As general advice for opened salted peanuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping them in a kitchen cupboard for six months or in the freezer for one year. Peanuts that are rancid, chewy or mouldy are signs of spoilage. Storage conditions and packaging still matter.

What allergen information must be shown on a pack?

Allergen information must be shown on the label of prepacked foods. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority lists peanuts as an allergen that must be declared; under EU rules, allergens must be highlighted in the ingredients list. Also check for any warnings about possible cross-contamination: unsalted does not mean allergen-free.

Can you still use the recalled AH pack?

Do not eat the specific pack of AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. Albert Heijn has issued a warning about possible metal fragments. The warning applies to this product name, pack format and date; it does not automatically apply to all AH peanuts or multipacks.
