Choose an individual bag if you want to leave without having to weigh anything. Weigh out your own portion from a larger bag if you want to choose the amount or opt for an unsalted variety. A 60 g bag isn’t automatically one portion: Duyvis lists 60 g per bag, while Albert Heijn gives 25 g as the portion size on the label. Also check the allergen label and the organiser’s entry rules for the specific festival edition.
You want an individually wrapped bag that you can take with you straight away. Duyvis lists salted 60 g bags; Foods & Goods and FOOX describe a box containing 20 bags. Decide in advance whether you need one bag or the whole box.
You want to decide how much to take with you and might be considering unsalted peanuts. Albert Heijn and PLUS offer 250 g bags; Albert Heijn lists ten 25 g portions. This option means weighing out your own portion and sealing the bag properly.
You’re preparing portions for several snack breaks or for a group. Jumbo lists a 500 g bag of salted peanuts, while ALDI offers a 250 g pack of salted peanuts. Store the remainder in a dry place in a tightly sealed container or bag.
First decide whether you want to grab an individual bag or weigh out your own portion. Then check the variety and the total amount.
A good fit if: you want to take an individual bag with you without any preparation. Duyvis lists salted 60 g bags; Foods & Goods and FOOX describe the sales unit as a box containing 20 bags.
Bear in mind: the amount in each bag is fixed, and you could end up ordering a box when you only expect to need one bag.
A good fit if: you want to choose the amount yourself and are looking for an unsalted variety. For its 250 g bag, Albert Heijn lists ten 25 g portions; PLUS also offers a 250 g bag.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to weigh out your portion in advance and seal the opened bag properly. Also check the information about the possible presence of other nuts.
A good fit if: you’re preparing several portions for different occasions or people. Jumbo lists a 500 g bag of salted peanuts, while ALDI offers a 250 g pack of salted peanuts.
Bear in mind: these aren’t individual small snack bags. You’ll need to portion them yourself and store the remainder as directed on the label.

Albert Heijn’s warning of 20 May 2026 applies only to AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 4 November 2026. The warning does not automatically apply to other AH peanuts.
Check the exact product name, packaging and best-before date. Don’t eat a product that matches the warning, and follow Albert Heijn’s instructions for returning it.
Duyvis lists 60 g bags, while Albert Heijn gives 25 g as the portion size on the label for its unsalted peanuts. So the amount in a bag and the portion size on the label are not the same thing.
Check the total contents and portion information separately. Weigh out a portion in advance if you want to take a smaller amount with you.
The Duyvis portion pack listed by Foods & Goods and FOOX contains 20 bags of 60 g. That’s a different sales unit from a single bag.
Check the number of bags and the total contents before ordering.
A box could leave you with more than you need for a single festival day.
For the unsalted peanuts mentioned, Albert Heijn and PLUS product information warns of the possible presence of other nuts. The flavour variety alone doesn’t tell you what allergen information applies.
Check the ingredients and warnings on the packaging for the exact product. Keep this information handy if you’re sharing the peanuts.

No. The amount in a bag and the portion size on the label are different things: Duyvis lists 60 g bags, while Albert Heijn gives 25 g as the portion size for its unsalted peanuts. Use the portion information for your product as a guide, then decide how much you want to take with you.
Keep the remainder dry and well sealed, and follow the instructions on the pack. Albert Heijn advises storing its unsalted peanuts in a cool, dark and dry place and sealing the bag properly after use. Voedingscentrum also advises storing nuts in a dry, sealed container.
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), information about regulated allergens, including peanuts, must be available. For prepacked products, this information is on the label; for unpackaged products, it must be made available in another permitted way.
This warning indicates the possible unintended presence of an allergen, for example through cross-contamination; it’s different from listing it as an ingredient. Since 1 January 2026, Dutch rules on precautionary allergen labelling have been in force, and the NVWA oversees compliance. If you have an allergy, read both the ingredients and the warnings.
Albert Heijn’s warning of 20 May 2026 applies only to AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 4 November 2026. Don’t eat this product. Albert Heijn says you can return it to a shop for a full refund; other products and best-before dates are not automatically covered by this warning.
