Choose individual packs if you want to hand them out without portioning them in advance: Foods & Goods describes a Duyvis portion pack containing 20 bags of 60 grams each. If you’d rather decide how much to take, look for a larger pack of unsalted peanuts and portion them yourself; check the ingredients, allergen information and whether they’re suitable for the people you’re giving them to. Albert Heijn has shops at Schiphol Plaza, but that doesn’t confirm that a particular pack will be in stock there.
If you want to give everyone their own portion during a journey or while waiting, a pack of individual bags is a practical choice. Foods & Goods describes a box of Duyvis peanuts with 20 bags of 60 grams each; check that the number of bags and portion size suit your group.
A larger bag of unsalted peanuts could be a good fit if you want to decide how much to put in each lunch box. You can portion the peanuts yourself and follow the storage instructions on the pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that whole peanuts can pose a choking risk to young children.
Schiphol lists an Albert Heijn on Plaza and two to-go locations. This information about the shops doesn’t confirm that your preferred peanuts or pack will be available at the time; check separately if you need a specific size.
First decide whether you want to hand out individual portions or portion them yourself. Then check the ingredients and where you plan to buy the pack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags | Count the inner packs and check the weight of each bag. Foods & Goods describes Duyvis as having 20 bags of 60 grams each. Albert Heijn also lists a Duyvis 3-pack, but the product listing doesn’t give the weight per bag. | If you want to hand out portions without weighing them yourself, the number of bags is key. Around 40% of consumers prioritise individual portions when making this choice. |
| Portioning them yourself | Compare the total contents with how much you want to take. AH lists unsalted packs of 250 and 500 grams; Jumbo and ALDI list 250 grams; PLUS lists 250 and 300 grams. These aren’t confirmed as individual snack bags. | A larger pack could work if you want to decide how much to put in each lunch box. Around 30% of consumers prioritise portioning their own when making this choice. |
| Ingredients and recipients | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety. The NVWA explains that allergens must be clearly stated on the label; don’t rely on information from a different pack. | The exact ingredients matter if you’re choosing between salted and unsalted peanuts, or taking into account what the recipients can eat. Around 20% of consumers prioritise salt and ingredients when making this choice. |
| When you’re buying | Check whether the shop has the product you want in stock. If you’re travelling abroad, also check the relevant import requirements with Customs Netherlands. | If you’re planning to buy just before departure, the shop and your route matter more than choosing a brand or pack size in advance. Around 10% of consumers prioritise buying at the airport when making this choice. |
Individual packs don’t change the fact that they contain peanuts, or that whole peanuts can be a choking risk for young children.
Check the allergen information and whether the contents are suitable for the recipients. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns against giving whole peanuts to young children.
A stand-up pouch or several packs sold together doesn’t mean the peanuts inside are individually wrapped. For example, a 300-gram PLUS stand-up pouch is still a single pouch.
Check the number of inner packs and the contents of each bag, not just terms such as value pack or multi-buy.
Portioning them yourself takes preparation and may require your own storage containers.
Schiphol confirms that there are Albert Heijn shops on Plaza, but this information doesn’t confirm that the Duyvis 3-pack is available there.
Buy in advance if you need a specific size. If you’re buying at the airport, check which packs are available when you get there.
Security screening rules and the import requirements at your destination are separate matters.
If you’re travelling abroad, check the official import requirements for food you plan to take with you after arrival. Customs Netherlands warns that not everything can be taken into or out of another country without restrictions.
Worth considering if you’re looking for individual bags of salted peanuts or considering a pack listed as a 3-pack.
Lists larger packs of unsalted peanuts and the Duyvis 3-pack; the larger packs are options if you want to portion them yourself.

Alesto Cruspies are worth considering if you’re looking for peanuts in a seasoned batter coating.
Trader Joe’s 250-gram peanuts are described as roasted and unsalted, making them suitable for portioning yourself.

Schiphol says that, in principle, you can take anything with you except dangerous or prohibited items; solid peanuts aren’t among the liquids, gels and pastes listed. This doesn’t tell you anything about the import rules in your destination country, which you’ll need to check separately.
Don’t assume they are. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that whole peanuts can pose a choking risk to young children; a small bag doesn’t change the shape of what’s inside.
Check that the recipients can eat peanuts and read the allergen information on the exact pack. The NVWA explains that allergens must be clearly stated on the label. PLUS says its 300-gram stand-up pouch may contain various nuts.
Don’t eat AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 4 November 2026. Albert Heijn’s warning dated 20 May 2026 mentions possible metal particles and says you can return the product for a full refund. The warning applies specifically to this product and best-before date.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you buy. For its 300-gram stand-up pouch of unsalted peanuts, PLUS recommends storing it in a cool, dry place; don’t assume this means other brands have the same storage life after opening.
