Choose peanuts based on the fat content of the exact product and how much you eat; oven-baked and unsalted do not automatically mean lower in fat. According to Albert Heijn, the Duyvis coated variety reviewed contains 30% less fat than specific savoury and tiger nuts, but Albert Heijn also states that this product has been discontinued. Duyvis describes Oven Baked Original as made without added oil or fat, while Jumbo lists 50 g of fat per 100 g for this variety.
You’re looking for a peanut snack to take to a festival and want to know what a ‘less fat’ claim is compared with. Check the exact product and its fat content per 100 g; ‘oven-baked’ doesn’t tell you this. Duyvis, Jumbo and Albert Heijn provide product information on preparation methods, nutritional values and the basis for claims.
You want to decide how much to take with you or eat, and you’re keeping an eye on energy and added salt as well as fat. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g with the portion you actually choose. Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS list nutritional values for the varieties reviewed.
You’re taking peanuts with you for the journey or to the campsite, and are considering pack size, storage and resealing. If you’re sharing, keep the allergen information handy too. Lidl and Jumbo provide packaging and storage advice; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority offers information about allergens in prepacked products.
First compare the claim and nutritional values for the exact variety, then decide which portion and pack best suit your festival plans.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Fat reduction and comparison basis | Read what the claim is compared with and check the fat content in g per 100 g for the exact variety. | If reducing fat is my top priority, I want to know exactly what the claim is comparing and how much fat the finished product contains. Around 33% of consumers prioritise fat reduction. |
| Amount eaten | Compare values per 100 g with the stated portion, and check energy separately too. | If I want to tailor my snack to a chosen portion, I focus on how much I actually eat, not just the pack size. Around 27% of consumers prioritise portion size and energy. |
| Taking them with you and storage | Check the pack weight in grams and follow the storage and resealing instructions on the packaging. | If I’m taking peanuts on a journey or to the campsite, I want to know whether I can reseal the pack properly after opening it. Around 20% of consumers prioritise portability and storage. |
| Salt and allergens | Check the nutritional information, ingredients and allergens for the exact flavour variety. | If salt or a specific allergen requirement affects my choice, I check the label of the product I’m taking with me. Around 20% of consumers prioritise ingredients and allergens. |
The preparation method doesn’t tell you how much fat the finished product contains. Jumbo lists 50 g of fat per 100 g for Duyvis Oven Baked Original.
Read the label for the exact variety and compare nutritional values per 100 g; don’t treat the preparation name as a nutritional claim.
The 30% less fat claim on the Duyvis product reviewed refers to specific savoury and tiger nuts, not all peanuts.
Read the comparison basis alongside the claim and check energy, salt and the proportion of peanuts too.
The unsalted varieties reviewed from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list 51, 48 and 50 g of fat per 100 g respectively.
Choose unsalted peanuts to suit your salt preference, not as proof of fat reduction.
On 20 May 2026, Albert Heijn published a warning about AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026, due to possible metal fragments.
Do not eat this specific product. Check the product name, packaging and best-before date, and follow Albert Heijn’s returns instructions.
The product lines reviewed include Oven Baked Original and coated peanuts; the preparation method and nutritional claim are two different things.
AH Unsalted Peanuts are worth considering if you want to check added salt and sugar, not as a reduced-fat option.
The products reviewed provide nutritional information for regular or unsalted peanuts.
The product reviewed is described as 200 g of roasted, unsalted peanuts for cooking or snacking.
The store listing reviewed describes Trader Joe’s 250 g of roasted, unsalted peanuts.

A good fit if you prefer an unsalted peanut snack; being unsalted says nothing by itself about fat reduction.
The product information lists peanuts and possible cashew nuts. Check the label if you have allergies.

The product name specifies 210 g of roasted peanuts. Choose this type only if it suits your snacking occasion; roasted does not prove that it contains less fat.
Bear in mind that peanuts are an allergen and check the packaging for full information.

This variety is for anyone looking for peanuts in their shells; you’ll need to shell them yourself, so think about where you plan to eat them.
The product information also mentions nuts. Check the allergen information on the packaging.
No, not automatically: the claim compares a product with the named reference products. For solid foods, the European Commission sets the threshold for a ‘low fat’ claim at no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g; the Duyvis coated variety reviewed lists 26 g per 100 g.
Follow the instructions for the exact variety you have. For the unsalted peanuts reviewed, Jumbo recommends storing them in a cool, dry place; for the Duyvis honey variety reviewed, the advice is to seal the pack securely after opening or use an airtight container.
Always check the label for the exact variety. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products, and peanuts are an allergen that must be declared. Flavoured varieties may contain other ingredients too; for example, the Duyvis tomato and herb variety reviewed contains wheat and cereals containing gluten.
Do not eat it if it is the product in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. On 20 May 2026, Albert Heijn issued a warning because of possible metal fragments; follow Albert Heijn’s returns instructions. The warning applies to that specific product and date.
