Who are these packs for?

Ready to take with you

Want to grab an individual bag for your coffee break on the go, without weighing out peanuts at home? FOOX specifies that the Duyvis box contains twenty 60-gram bags.

Portioning your own unsalted peanuts

If you want unsalted peanuts and prefer to choose the amount yourself, you can portion them at home from a larger supermarket pack. This means weighing them out and storing what is left.

Sharing across several breaks

If you’re sharing with several people or over a number of breaks, the number of individual packs matters. The Duyvis box contains twenty bags; with a 4-pack, it’s worth checking the contents of each pack first.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to check before buying Who this matters to
Ready to take with you The number of individual bags and the weight of each one. If you want to grab a pack straight away for your commute, a ready-to-go bag is convenient and saves you weighing peanuts out at home. Around 36% of consumers prioritise being able to take a pack with them straight away.
Salt and quantity Whether the peanuts are salted or unsalted, and how many grams the pack contains. If you want unsalted peanuts and prefer to choose how much to put in your lunchbox, portioning them yourself suits your needs, although it takes some preparation. Around 29% of consumers prioritise choosing unsalted peanuts and deciding on the amount themselves.
Comparing packs Compare the price per kilogram and check the number of individual packs; compare current prices at the same time. If cost is your main concern, you’ll want to know what you get for a comparable amount and whether portioning the peanuts yourself involves extra work. Around 21% of consumers prioritise comparing costs on a like-for-like basis.
Sharing and storing Check how many individual packs there are and follow the storage instructions on the label. If you’re sharing with several people or over a number of breaks, the number of individual packs and what you’ll have left once opened both matter. Around 14% of consumers prioritise sharing and planning their supplies.

Common mistakes when choosing

  • Assuming a multipack, a large value bag and portion bags are all the same

    The Duyvis box contains twenty individual bags, while the PLUS pack is a single 500-gram bag. The term 4-pack doesn’t tell you how many grams are in each pack.

    First, check the number of individual packs and the weight of each one. Then choose based on whether you want to take them with you, share them or portion them yourself.

    Weighing and packing the peanuts yourself takes extra preparation and may require additional packaging.

  • Taking a portion pack as personal dietary advice

    The 60-gram Duyvis bag size is a packaging specification, not a recommendation about how much you personally should eat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s general advice on unsalted nuts doesn’t automatically make this salted variety a suitable choice.

    Consider the ingredients and the amount you want to take with you separately from the convenience of a ready-to-go bag.

  • Overlooking allergen information when sharing

    The Duyvis variety checked contains peanuts; Bidfood also notes that the product may contain other types of nuts. Peanuts are an allergen that consumers must be informed about.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack before choosing peanuts for others. Keep the label with your supplies.

  • Buying a large pack without considering what will be left over

    A larger bag may leave you with some peanuts after you’ve made up lunchbox portions. For mixed unsalted nuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancidity, a chewy texture and mould as signs of a loss of quality or spoilage; this isn’t a specific storage period for every peanut product.

    Choose an amount that suits how you’ll use the peanuts, and follow the storage instructions on your pack.

    Any peanuts left over that you don’t use in time may lose quality or end up being thrown away.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 4-pack the same as four small bags to take with you?

No, the term 4-pack doesn’t tell you how many grams are in each pack or whether they’re small snack bags. Check the contents of each pack. The Duyvis box is specifically listed as containing twenty 60-gram bags.

What allergen information should I check on a Dutch pack?

According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products; peanuts are an allergen. Read the ingredients and warnings on the specific pack, especially if you’re buying peanuts for someone else. The requirement to provide this information doesn’t guarantee that a product is suitable for someone with an allergy.

Is there an AH peanut warning I should check?

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 this product. Check whether your product matches the exact variety, packaging and date listed; don’t apply the warning to unsalted varieties or other packs without evidence.

How do I compare the cost of a portion pack with a larger bag?

Compare current prices for the same weight, and also check the number of individual packs. According to FOOX, the Duyvis box contains twenty 60-gram bags; Jumbo lists unsalted packs of 250 and 500 grams, among others, while PLUS lists a 500-gram bag. If you’re portioning the peanuts yourself, factor in the preparation involved too.

How should I store an opened bag of peanuts?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you bought. For mixed unsalted nuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancidity, a chewy texture and mould as signs of a loss of quality or spoilage; this information doesn’t give a set storage period for every peanut product.
