Which pack is right for you?

Lunch bags with no preparation

If you want individually wrapped peanuts ready to eat or share without weighing out portions first. FOOX lists a box of 20 Duyvis bags, each containing 60 grams; choose the bag size carefully.

Unsalted peanuts with lunch

If you want unsalted peanuts and prefer to decide how much to have, a bulk bag is an option. You’ll need to measure out and pack your own lunch portion.

A supply to share

If you’re sharing with housemates and mainly want to split a larger supply, a bigger bag could be a good fit. If you’re sharing, check that everyone can eat peanuts.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Individual bags Check the number of inner packs, the weight per bag and the total contents of the box. If I want bags ready to eat or share without weighing them out first, I look at the amount in each bag. An estimated 29% of consumers prioritise the convenience of individual bags.
Unsalted option Check that the variety is unsalted and read the ingredients for that exact pack. If I want peanuts with my lunch regularly and prefer to choose how much I have, unsalted is an important factor for me. An estimated 29% of consumers are mainly looking for an unsalted option.
A supply to divide up Check the total amount and whether the peanuts come in individual bags or one bulk bag. If I’m buying for several people or lunch occasions, I want to be able to split the supply easily. An estimated 21% of consumers prioritise sharing and having a supply on hand.
The right order size Check how much you’re ordering per pack and whether the sales channel has any conditions. If I’m looking for an amount that suits my lunches and the way I shop, I check the order size. An estimated 21% of consumers focus mainly on this.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming a portion bag is a personal serving recommendation

    The Duyvis bag contains 60 grams of salted peanuts. That’s pack information, not a recommendation for how much to have with your lunch. FOOX lists the bag contents, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre provides general information about nuts.

    Choose the weight per bag carefully and decide for yourself how much you want to have. Also check that the salted variety suits your needs.

  • Comparing only the number of bags

    A box of 20 bags, each weighing 60 grams, contains 1,200 grams in total. Looking only at the number of inner packs doesn’t tell you how much you’re getting altogether.

    Compare the number of bags, the weight per bag and the total contents. FOOX lists this pack as 20 × 60 grams.

  • Confusing a bulk bag with a lunch multipack

    The 250-gram unsalted Jumbo and PLUS bags reviewed here are bulk bags, not sets of individually sealed lunch bags.

    Choose one of these bags if you want to measure and pack your own portions. If you want bags to take with you without any preparation, look for individual inner packs.

  • Ignoring or overgeneralising a specific safety warning

    Albert Heijn has issued a warning about AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026 due to possible metal fragments. The warning applies to the specified product and date; it does not automatically apply to all AH peanuts.

    Check the full product name and best-before date. Do not eat the product named in the recall.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 60-gram bag automatically a suitable lunch portion?

No. The 60 grams is the weight of the Duyvis bag, not personal dietary advice. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s general advice is to have a handful of unsalted nuts each day and to eat a varied diet. Decide for yourself how much you want to have with lunch.

How long can I keep an opened bag of unsalted peanuts?

The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says opened unsalted peanuts can be kept for 6 months in a kitchen cupboard, 9 months in the fridge and 1 year in the freezer. This is general storage advice, not a guarantee for every pack; also follow the instructions on your product.

What allergen information should I check when buying online?

Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains allergen labelling, while Business.gov.nl says food information in the Netherlands must be available in Dutch, including online. A multipack on its own doesn’t tell you whether a product is suitable for someone with an allergy.

If there’s no ‘may contain peanuts’ warning, does that mean a product is suitable for someone with a peanut allergy?

No. If peanuts are an ingredient, the product is not peanut-free. Check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack; don’t rely solely on the absence of a precautionary warning.

Which AH peanuts does the safety warning apply to?

Albert Heijn has issued a warning about AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026 due to possible metal fragments, and asks customers not to eat the product. The warning applies only to the specified product and best-before date.

Is a wholesale box automatically convenient for a small home order?

Not necessarily. Check the order size, any customer registration requirements and the terms and conditions before deciding whether the sales channel suits your purchase. Bidfood says customers can register for its wholesale channel and lists ordering conditions; these don’t automatically apply to other suppliers.
