Who are these options for?

Parents who want something to take with them without any preparation

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.

Parents who want to measure out their own portion of unsalted peanuts

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.

Parents who pick up peanuts with their groceries

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 should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to look for Who is this important for?
Ready to take with you Check how many individual snack packs are in the outer pack and how many grams each one contains. If you want to grab a snack without weighing it out first, a pack of individual snack packs may suit your needs. Around 25% of consumers prioritise convenience.
Unsalted ingredients Check the ingredients and nutrition information for the exact variety; compare salt levels per 100 g. If you’re looking for unsalted peanuts to take with you regularly, check the variety rather than relying on the brand name alone. 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.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a small snack pack is automatically one eating portion

    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.

  • Confusing the stated number of servings with individual snack packs

    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.

  • Putting an adult snack in the baby bag without keeping it separate

    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.

  • Assuming different varieties from the same brand have the same ingredients

    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.

Relevant brands to compare

Duyvis

According to Duyvis, the product range reviewed includes a 60 g salted snack pack and a 235 g pack of unsalted peanuts.

  • The individual snack pack is a practical option if you want something to take with you without weighing it out first.
  • A 60 g snack pack isn’t automatically one suitable eating portion; you’ll need to portion the larger pack yourself.

Albert Heijn

The AH Unsalted Peanuts reviewed come in a 300 g pack, for anyone who wants to measure out their own portions.

  • The product page lists a serving size of 25 g and 12 servings.
  • Those figures don’t prove that the pack contains 12 individual snack packs.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists 250 g of unsalted peanuts, a size that’s suitable for portioning yourself.

  • The official product information lists 99.5% peanuts and sunflower oil.
  • The product isn’t described as containing individual portion packs; follow the storage and sealing instructions on the exact pack.

PLUS

PLUS lists unsalted peanuts in a 300 g stand-up pouch and a separate 250 g variety.

  • The product information reviewed for the 300 g pack includes ingredients, allergens and nutritional values.
  • A stand-up pouch isn’t automatically resealable and doesn’t automatically contain individual portions; check the exact packaging.

Lidl

The Dutch Lidl product listing is for 285 g of unsalted peanuts.

  • The stated weight can help you assess a pack for portioning yourself.
  • The product listing doesn’t describe individual snack packs or stock at a specific store.

ALDI

The Dutch product listing reviewed is for 250 g of Trader Joe’s roasted, unsalted peanuts at ALDI.

  • The listing clearly states the brand, weight and unsalted variety.
  • Trader Joe’s is the product brand; the listing doesn’t say that the peanuts are packed in individual portions.

Frequently asked questions

Is a stated serving the same as an individual snack pack?

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.

What serving size should I use if I’m breastfeeding?

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.

Are these peanut snacks intended for my baby?

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.

How should I store peanuts if I’m taking a portion with me?

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.

Does the recall warning apply to all AH peanuts?

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.
