If you want to limit your fat intake, check the weight you actually eat and the nutritional information for that exact variety. Weighing out your own portion gives you more control than a fixed 60 g bag. Individual snack bags are handy to take with you or share, while larger bags and multipacks work well for splitting over several eating occasions. None of these pack formats makes peanuts low in fat. If you’re sharing, also check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings for the specific pack.
You want to work out and limit how much fat you eat at each sitting. To do this, check the portion weight and nutrition table, not just the name of a multipack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre provides general nutritional information about peanuts; the PLUS product page and Foods & Goods list values for specific products.
You’re looking for individual bags or want to prepare your own portions. A 60 g bag isn’t automatically a small portion. The PLUS product page also warns that young children can choke on peanuts, so consider whether whole peanuts are suitable for the person you’re packing them for.
You’re buying for several people or eating occasions and want to tell the difference between snack bags, multipacks of standard packs and large bags. If you’re sharing, check the ingredients and allergens on the label; the NVWA lists peanuts as an allergen that must be declared on prepacked foods.
Best when: you want to take peanuts with you or share them without portioning them yourself.
Bear in mind: the weight is fixed; a Duyvis bag from the Portiepack contains 60 g.
Best when: you want to choose the weight for each eating occasion.
Bear in mind: weighing and possibly repacking takes a little preparation.
Best when: several people each need a standard pack.
Bear in mind: according to Albert Heijn, its 6-pack is delivered as individual items, not as six small snack bags.
Best when: you regularly portion peanuts out for several people or eating occasions.
Bear in mind: the bag size doesn’t change the amount of fat per gram eaten; you’ll need to portion it yourself.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Fat per portion eaten | Compare the fat per 100 g on the label and weigh out the amount you want to eat. | If I want to limit my fat intake at each eating occasion, I check both the nutritional information and the weight. Around 36% of consumers prioritise keeping track of fat per portion. |
| Individual bags for on the go | Check how many individual bags there are and how many grams each one contains. | If I want to take peanuts with me or share them straight away, a genuinely individual bag is handy. Around 29% of consumers give convenience on the go their top priority. |
| Stock for several eating occasions | Match the total contents to the number of people and occasions you want to portion it for. | If I need stock for several people or occasions, I want to be able to portion it out and store it myself. Around 21% of consumers put this need first. |
| Ingredients and safe sharing | Read the ingredients and allergen information; check for warnings about young children and specific batches. | If I’m sharing peanuts with others, I want to know what’s in them and who they’re suitable for. Around 14% of consumers start their choice with label and safety information. |
For solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 3 g of fat per 100 g for a ‘low fat’ claim. A small pack or the description ‘unsalted’ doesn’t change that limit.
According to the nutritional information listed by Foods & Goods, a 60 g Duyvis bag contains 52 g of fat per 100 g. That means a whole bag contains 31.2 g of fat; the pack itself doesn’t determine how much you eat.
Check the weight per bag and calculate the nutritional values for the amount you’ll actually have.
‘Unsalted’ tells you about salt, not fat. The PLUS product page lists 50 g of fat per 100 g for its unsalted peanuts; a Nutri-Score on its own doesn’t prove that a product is low in fat.
Use the nutrition table for the exact variety and check how much you weigh out.
The Albert Heijn 6-pack is delivered as individual items. It doesn’t automatically give you separate small portions for lunchboxes.
Before buying, check the number of items, the weight per pack and how they’ll be delivered. Portioning them yourself may take extra preparation.
Peanuts are an allergen, and some products may also contain other nuts. Whole peanuts can be a choking hazard for young children. A warning may also apply only to a specific batch.
Read the label and, for the named tub of AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten with a best-before date of 04-11-2026, check Albert Heijn’s specific recall warning; do not use this product.

Not just because it’s small. According to the European Commission, the ‘low fat’ claim can only be used for solid foods containing no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g. The PLUS and Duyvis products reviewed list 50 g and 52 g of fat per 100 g respectively.
Multiply the grams of fat per 100 g shown on the label for your product by the weight of the portion you’ve weighed out, then divide by 100. Use the values for the exact variety; the pack size doesn’t determine what amount is suitable for a personally prescribed diet.
No, don’t assume they’re suitable. The PLUS product page warns that young children can choke on peanuts. Consider whether they’re suitable for the child and check the allergen information; a sealed bag doesn’t remove these considerations.
Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack for the exact variety. The NVWA lists peanuts as one of the allergens that must be declared; some products also say that they may contain other nuts.
For 60 g bags of Duyvis peanuts, HANOS recommends storing them in a cool, dry place and, once opened, using a light- and airtight container. Also follow the instructions on the packaging for your product.
Do not use the specific tub with that best-before date. Albert Heijn’s recall warning of 20 May 2026 concerns possible metal fragments and says you can return the product to an AH shop for a refund. According to Albert Heijn, the warning does not apply to other best-before dates.
