If you have coeliac disease, first check the gluten and allergen information on the exact pack, then look at the fat content per 100 g. Unsalted or oven-baked does not automatically mean low in fat or suitable for coeliac disease. Weighing out a smaller portion does not change the product’s composition, but it does change how much you eat.
You’re looking for peanuts for yourself or someone with coeliac disease, and want to check the gluten information and warnings about possible cross-contamination before considering flavour or nutrition claims. The Dutch Coeliac Society discusses such warnings as potential risks.
You want to eat less fat and understand the difference between a change in composition and a smaller portion. Unsalted or made without added fat does not automatically mean a product is low in fat.
You’re looking for a variety to enjoy as a snack or add to meals, and want to consider salt, how much you eat at a time and how to store them once opened. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a tightly sealed container in a dry place.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten information | Check the ingredients, allergens, warnings and any gluten-free statement on the exact pack. | If I have coeliac disease, I want to know first whether the pack is suitable for my diet. Consumers who prioritise gluten information are expected to make up around 34%. |
| Fat content | Compare the fat per 100 g and assess any claim on the exact variety; made without added fat does not mean the same as low in total fat. | If I’m looking for less fat in the same quantity, I check the nutritional information rather than just how the product is prepared. Consumers with this priority are expected to make up around 33%. |
| Portion and nutritional value | Compare per 100 g first, then decide how many grams you want to eat; check the salt separately. | I want to weigh my snack and keep an eye on salt, without treating portions from different packs as equivalent. Consumers who prioritise portion size and their everyday nutritional profile are expected to make up around 20%. |
| Packaging and storage | Check where it’s sold and how much is in the pack; seal it tightly after opening and store the peanuts in a dry place. | If I’m looking for a pack for my regular shop, I also consider where it’s available and how to store it. Consumers who prioritise practical buying and storage are expected to make up around 13%. |
Duyvis describes Oven Baked Peanuts Original as made without added fat, but also states that it may contain wheat. The preparation method does not remove that warning.
If you have coeliac disease, check the information on the exact pack first, then consider how the product is prepared.
Jumbo Pinda’s Ongezouten 250 g lists 48,0 g of fat per 100 g, while PLUS Pinda’s ongezouten 250 gram lists 50 g per 100 g. So a low salt content is no indication of a low fat content.
Read the fat and salt values separately.
Nutritional information per 25 g and per 30 g is based on different portion sizes, so it can be difficult to compare them directly.
Compare the values per 100 g first, then work them out for the same quantity.
On 20 May 2026, Albert Heijn announced a recall of AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026 because it may contain metal fragments. The notice applies to that specific pack, not all AH peanuts.
Check the product name, packaging type and best-before date together. Do not eat the pack mentioned; return it for a refund.

A roasted peanut snack. Roasting alone says nothing about the fat content or whether the product is suitable for a gluten-free diet, so check the exact product information.
No. Jumbo Pinda’s Ongezouten 250 g lists 48,0 g of fat per 100 g, while PLUS Pinda’s ongezouten 250 gram lists 50 g per 100 g. Assess salt and fat separately.
According to the European Commission, solid foods can be labelled low fat if they contain no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g. This is an absolute limit and is not the same as comparing a product with a higher-fat variety.
Regulation (EU) 828/2014 sets out the conditions for gluten-free claims. AOECS describes a separate licensing and monitoring system for the Crossed Grain symbol and explains the limit as no more than 20 ppm of gluten. A gluten-free claim and a certification symbol therefore provide different information.
No. Made without added fat describes how the product is prepared and does not determine the gluten risk. The Dutch Coeliac Society describes a cross-contamination warning as a potentially relevant risk; if you have coeliac disease, assess this information before considering the preparation claim.
First compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then decide how much you want to weigh out. Albert Heijn lists a 25 g portion for AH Pinda’s gezouten 400 g, while Jumbo Pinda’s Ongezouten 250 g also shows values per 30 g. These portions are not the same size.
