Who are these options for?

Ready to take with you

If you want to grab a bag on busy days without any preparation, check the weight of each bag and how many are in the pack. Duyvis lists bags including 60 g packs; Foods & Goods describes a multipack with 20 bags of that size.

Preparing your own portions

If you want to decide how much to take in advance, you can divide peanuts from a larger pack into your own portions. PLUS describes a 250 g bag of unsalted peanuts; check the variety and the label on the pack you choose.

Planning a supply of salted peanuts

If you specifically choose salted peanuts and want to spread the contents over several occasions, choose a pack size that suits your plans. Jumbo describes a 500 g bag of salted peanuts and recommends storing it in a cool, dry place.

What should you look for when buying?

First decide what matters most to you: convenience, choosing your own portion size, having enough for the week or opting for salted peanuts. Then check the quantity, variety and storage instructions on the pack.

What to consider What to look for Who might find this more important?
Ready to take with you Check whether the pack contains individual bags, then look at the weight of each bag and how many are in the box. Want to grab a bag on busy days without weighing it out? Around 33% of consumers say convenience when taking a snack with them is their top priority.
Weekly quantity and cost Choose a total quantity that suits your planned snack occasions and compare the price per kilo of the same type of peanuts. Want to avoid buying more than you need for the week? Around 27% of consumers prioritise a suitable weekly quantity and cost.
Unsalted portions Check the variety and distinguish between the amount in the pack and the portion you choose for yourself. Want to take unsalted peanuts with you and decide how much to eat? Around 27% of consumers prioritise having that choice each day.
Salted flavour Read the variety name and ingredients, then decide whether a small bag or a larger pack suits the way you’ll use it. Are you specifically looking for a salted snack rather than an unsalted option? Around 13% of consumers prioritise this flavour preference.

Common pitfalls

  • Assuming a 60 g bag is a suitable portion to eat

    The 60 g refers to the contents of the bag, not necessarily the amount that suits your eating occasion. The MDL Fund recommends 25 g of unsalted nuts per day for adults; this dietary advice is not a pack-size guideline.

    Decide how much you want separately from the pack size. Portioning the peanuts yourself gives you more control over what you take with you.

  • Buying a large box without checking the total quantity

    A multipack of 20 x 60 g bags contains 1,200 g in total. So individual bags don’t automatically make a large box a small weekly purchase.

    Compare the number of bags and the total quantity with your planned snack occasions, and check the price per kilo too.

  • Judging a recall by the brand name alone

    Albert Heijn’s warning concerns AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. The warning applies to that specific pack and date, not automatically to all peanuts from the same brand or retailer.

    Check the product name, packaging and best-before date against the official warning. Do not eat the affected product.

Brands and retailers to consider

Duyvis

Worth considering if you’re looking for salted peanuts in individual bags or larger packs.

  • Duyvis lists several pack sizes; Foods & Goods describes a box of 20 x 60 g bags.
  • A 60 g pack is not evidence of a recommended portion to eat.

Albert Heijn

A supermarket retailer with a product page for Duyvis Salted Peanuts, 3-pack.

  • The product page identifies a Duyvis pack; Duyvis is the product brand.
  • The safety warning applies only to AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026.

Jumbo

A retailer’s own-brand option if you want to portion out a larger amount of salted peanuts yourself.

  • Jumbo describes a 500 g pack of salted peanuts and recommends storing it in a cool, dry place.
  • You’ll need to portion the peanuts yourself to make individual snacks to take with you; the term ‘value pack’ doesn’t prove it’s the cheapest option.

Lidl

A supermarket retailer with information on a 285 g pack of unsalted peanuts.

  • The product page describes an unsalted pack that you can portion out yourself.
  • The page says it is sold in store; this doesn’t confirm stock at a specific branch.

Aldi

A supermarket retailer offering a 250 g unsalted Trader Joe’s variety.

  • The product information names Trader Joe’s as the product brand and specifies the unsalted variety and pack size.
  • The product information does not describe a box of individual bags to take with you.

PLUS

A retailer’s own-brand option if you want to make your own portions from a bag of unsalted peanuts.

  • The product page describes a 250 g bag of unsalted peanuts.
  • Check the pack for the latest product information; details for a separate 300 g variety don’t automatically apply to the 250 g bag.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 60 g bag automatically one recommended portion?

No. The 60 g is the amount in the bag, not necessarily a suitable quantity for every eating occasion. The MDL Fund recommends 25 g of unsalted nuts per day for adults; this advice is not a pack-size guideline.

How should you store a larger bag of peanuts?

Follow the instructions on the specific pack. For its 500 g salted variety, Jumbo recommends storing it in a cool, dry place; PLUS gives the same advice for its separate 300 g unsalted stand-up pouch.

Are whole peanuts suitable as a snack for young children?

Whole peanuts are not an obvious snack to take along for children under four. The MDL Fund warns of the choking risk posed by whole nuts; also follow the instructions on the specific pack.

What allergen information should you check on a Dutch pack?

Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that any allergens present must be clearly listed; according to official EU guidance, allergens must be emphasised in the ingredients list. An unsalted variety is not necessarily allergen-free.

What should you do with the recalled AH tub of peanuts?

Albert Heijn’s warning of 20 May 2026 concerns AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. Do not eat this specific product. Return it to an Albert Heijn store, as advised, for a full refund. The warning does not automatically apply to products with other best-before dates.
