If you don’t want to weigh or repack anything before your night shift, choose an individually packed bag. If you want unsalted peanuts, you can buy a larger pack and prepare a portion at home. The contents of a pack aren’t automatically the same as one serving, and a stated number of servings doesn’t necessarily mean they’re individually packed.
You want to be able to pop a bag in your work bag before your night shift. Check the weight per bag and the number of bags in the pack. Duyvis lists a 60 g pack, for example, while HANOS describes a case containing 24 bags of 60 g each.
You want unsalted peanuts and don’t mind preparing a portion at home. Check the exact variety, and don’t assume the total contents of a shop pack are one serving. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre and VGZ include unsalted nuts in their general nutrition advice.
You’re buying snacks for several shifts and want to match the quantity to how much preparation is involved. Check the total contents and the number of packs, then decide how much you want to take with you. Price and convenience are also cited as general supermarket shopping considerations in Deloitte Netherlands’ 2025 consumer research.
First decide whether you want something you can take with you as it is, or would rather prepare a portion yourself. Then choose the variety you want and check the total pack size.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Check the weight per bag, the number of individual bags and whether any stated serving is actually packed separately. | If you don’t want to weigh or repack anything before your shift, an individual bag may suit your needs; around 36% of consumers prioritise being able to take something with them without preparation. |
| Unsalted variety | Read the exact variety name and check the ingredients and salt information on the pack. | If you specifically want unsalted peanuts, check the variety before choosing a multipack; around 29% of consumers prioritise an unsalted option. |
| Quantity for several shifts | Check the total contents and the number of bags. Bear in mind that you may need to portion a larger pack yourself. | If you’re stocking up for several shifts at once, you’ll want to know how much to prepare and take with you; around 21% of consumers prioritise having enough for several shifts. |
| Flavour and texture | Distinguish between plain peanuts and those with a seasoned coating. Check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety. | If you’re mainly looking for a particular flavour or texture, check the ingredients for that variety; around 14% of consumers prioritise flavour and texture. |
A 60 g pack tells you how much it contains. A stated number of servings doesn’t automatically mean they’re in individual bags.
Check the total weight, the stated serving size and the number of bags that are actually packed separately.
Ingredients vary between products. For example, the product information for Duyvis Provençal coated peanuts lists wheat and may mention other allergens.
Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour. Don’t assume the details for plain peanuts apply.
The HANOS listing for Duyvis Salted Peanuts 60 g describes a case containing 24 bags. The sales unit may therefore be larger than a single bag.
Before choosing, check how many bags are in the sales unit and how many you’ll need for your shifts.
A case takes up space if you’re not going to use all the remaining bags straight away.

Check the ingredients and allergens for the exact flavour. For example, the product information for Duyvis Provençal coated peanuts lists peanuts and wheat. Don’t assume those details apply to another variety without checking.
Don’t eat a pack covered by the warning, and follow the seller’s instructions. Albert Heijn’s warning concerns AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. Compare the product name, packaging and date; don’t automatically apply the warning to other products.
Follow the storage advice on the pack and seal it tightly once opened. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancidity, a chewy texture and mould as signs of quality loss or spoilage in salted peanuts.
Check the label on the exact pack. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label. Seasoned varieties may list allergens in addition to peanuts.
