Choose an individual snack pack if you want something you can take with you without any preparation. Choose a larger pack of unsalted peanuts if you’d rather portion them yourself. Duyvis lists a 60 g salted snack pack, while the current breastfeeding guide from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends 30 g of unsalted nuts for the meal patterns shown. So the pack size doesn’t automatically make it a suitable portion, and this guide is about snacks for parents, not babies.
You’re looking for a snack pack you can grab and go. Duyvis lists a 60 g salted snack pack; this is a pack size, not necessarily one suitable eating portion. A Dutch supplier lists a box containing 20 individual snack packs.
You’d rather decide how much to take with you and choose unsalted peanuts. Duyvis, Albert Heijn and Jumbo have larger packs that have been reviewed. For those who are breastfeeding, the current nutrition guide from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends 30 g of unsalted nuts for the meal patterns shown.
You compare supermarket packs by weight, ingredients and storage advice. PLUS, Lidl and ALDI list relevant unsalted products; a larger pack doesn’t mean it contains individual portion packs.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|

Around 25% of consumers say an unsalted product is their first choice. |
| Portioning them yourself | Check the net weight and distinguish between a stated serving size and the number of individual snack packs. | If you want to decide how much to take with you, a larger pack may suit you if you have time to weigh out a portion beforehand. Around 25% of consumers prioritise portion control. |
| Storage and pack size | Check the storage instructions after opening and whether the pack contains individual snack packs. | If you take a snack with you at different times, the number of packs and the storage instructions after opening are relevant. Around 25% of consumers focus mainly on storage and pack size. |
A 60 g Duyvis snack pack is a pack quantity. The current breastfeeding guide from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends 30 g of unsalted nuts for the meal patterns shown.
Decide on your eating portion separately from the pack size. Use the amount in the breastfeeding guide only if it applies to you.
A pack with a stated number of servings, for example, isn’t automatically a multipack with the same number of individual snack packs.
Check whether the product information explicitly mentions individual snack packs and the weight of each one. If it doesn’t, expect to portion the product yourself.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole peanuts or nuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking.
Keep your snack separate from your baby’s food and don’t leave whole peanuts within reach.
Salted and unsalted varieties may have different ingredients. The Duyvis varieties reviewed also mention possible traces of other nuts.
Read the label of the exact variety. An unsalted version is not an alternative if you have a peanut allergy.
According to Duyvis, the product range reviewed includes a 60 g salted snack pack and a 235 g pack of unsalted peanuts.

The product information lists roasted peanuts and a net weight of 210 g.
The description states that the product contains 100% peanuts; it’s not suitable for anyone with a peanut allergy.
No, a nutritional or calculated serving isn’t automatically an individual snack pack. For its 300 g pack, Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 25 g and 12 servings; if you want individual packs, check whether the multipack details explicitly say that it contains them.
The current breastfeeding guide from the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends 30 g of unsalted nuts for both meal patterns shown. This is nutritional information for people who are breastfeeding, not a buying requirement for every new parent.
No, this guide is about snacks for adult parents. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole peanuts or nuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking; suitable baby food is a different choice from whole peanut snacks.
Store peanuts in a tightly sealed container in a dry place, and follow the instructions on the exact pack. Duyvis recommends storing an opened snack pack in a light- and airtight tin; Albert Heijn says to store its product in a cool, dark, dry place and seal it tightly after use.
No, Albert Heijn’s warning dated 20 May 2026 applies only to AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026, due to possible metal fragments. Don’t eat this specific pack; return it to the store. Albert Heijn says you’ll receive a full refund.
