Choose a small factory-sealed packet if you want to take one with you or hand them out individually: Duyvis lists a 60 g salted option. That’s the weight of the packet, not a recommended serving size. A larger bag is more suitable if you want to portion the peanuts out yourself. You can also choose between salted, unsalted or seasoned peanuts, and check the label and storage instructions.
Which pack is right for you?
Snacking on the go
Want to take an individual packet with you on your way to the neighbourhood get-together, rather than portioning some out from a larger pack beforehand? Duyvis lists a 60 g salted packet. The weight of the packet doesn’t automatically tell you how much you’ll want to eat.
Hosts serving guests
Would you like to give everyone their own packet, or would you rather fill a bowl yourself? Small Duyvis packets and 250 g salted or unsalted Jumbo bags give you different ways to serve them.
Flavour seekers who check the label
Want to choose between salted, unsalted or seasoned peanuts? Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product. Unsalted peanuts still contain peanuts.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want individual packets to take with you or a larger pack to serve yourself. Then choose the salt or flavour option, and check the information on the packaging.

Common pitfalls
-
Assuming unsalted means suitable for someone with a peanut allergy
Unsalted peanuts are still peanut products and contain the peanut allergen.
If you have a peanut allergy, don’t choose between these peanut varieties. If you’re looking for an alternative, check its own ingredients and allergen information.
-
Judging a safety warning by the brand name alone
Albert Heijn’s warning applies specifically to AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. On 20 May 2026, Albert Heijn reported that the product may contain metal particles.
Do not consume that specific pack. Compare the full product description and best-before date with Albert Heijn’s official warning; it doesn’t automatically apply to other AH peanuts.
-
Assuming a small pack is a recommended serving
The 60 g listed by Duyvis is the weight of the packet and doesn’t tell you how much you should eat.
Choose the pack size for convenience, and decide separately how much you want to eat.
-
Assuming a tub can be resealed
The fact that a product comes in a tub doesn’t mean it can be resealed.
Check the closure and storage instructions if you want to keep any peanuts left after the get-together.
You may need a separate, suitable way to store any leftovers.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 60 g packet automatically one serving?
No. Duyvis lists 60 g as the weight of the packet; that doesn’t determine how much you eat. Choose how much to eat separately from the packet size.
Can I serve unsalted peanuts to someone with a peanut allergy?
No. Unsalted peanuts still contain peanuts. If you’re looking for an alternative, check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack.
What should I check if there will be young children at the neighbourhood get-together?
Bear in mind the warning on Jumbo’s product page: young children can choke on peanuts. So don’t assume whole peanuts are a suitable snack for children.
How should I store any peanuts left after the get-together?
Follow the instructions on the exact pack. Jumbo advises storing its salted peanuts in a cool, dry place; this doesn’t tell you how many days they’ll keep after opening.
Which AH peanuts are covered by the recall warning?
Albert Heijn’s warning concerns AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026, because it may contain metal particles. Do not consume that specific pack and follow Albert Heijn’s instructions. The warning doesn’t automatically apply to other AH peanuts.
