If you want a crunchy savoury snack with an explicit reduced-fat claim, always check which product it is being compared with. Albert Heijn says Duyvis Oven Baked Sundried Tomato and Herbs has 30% less fat than certain regular coated Duyvis products, but the variant contains 26 g of fat per 100 g and is not low in fat. If your main aim is to snack less at the festival, match the amount you take with you to your portion size. Unsalted peanuts and peanuts roasted without added oil are not automatically reduced-fat products.
You want to keep enjoying peanuts with a crunchy coating and are looking for a clear comparison behind the reduced-fat claim. Albert Heijn specifies which coated Duyvis products are used as the reference for Duyvis Oven Baked Sundried Tomato and Herbs.
You’re bringing your own snack and mainly want to keep track of how much you eat. So check the nutrition information per 100 g as well as the amount you actually pack.
You’re paying attention to pack size, allergens and how to store the product once opened. If you sell unpackaged portions, allergen information must be available before purchase, according to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority.
First decide whether you’re mainly looking for a substantiated fat comparison, want to limit your portion, plan to share snacks or need a suitable pack size. These are different buying priorities. A preparation method or an ‘unsalted’ label alone does not prove that a product contains less fat.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| The reduced-fat claim | Check which product is used as the comparison and review the nutrition information for the exact variant. | I want to choose a crunchy savoury snack based on a clear comparison, not just a claim about how it’s made. Around 33% of consumers prioritise a substantiated fat comparison. |
| Nutrition information and portion size | Compare fat, energy and salt per 100 g, then work out the figures for the amount you actually eat. | If I’m deciding on my own festival portion, I want to know what the amount I actually eat contains. Around 27% of consumers prioritise portion size and knowing the energy content. |
| Allergens and storage | Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant, and follow the storage instructions on the pack. | When I share snacks, I want to be able to pass on allergen information and know how to store an opened bag. This is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
| Pack size | Choose a net weight that suits the number of portions you want to take or share. A small pack doesn’t automatically determine how much you eat. | If I’m buying for several people, I want to choose a pack size that suits the number of portions. Around 20% of consumers prioritise having the right amount in the pack. |
A comparison with a particular product doesn’t mean the snack meets the separate threshold for a low-fat claim. The Duyvis variant reviewed contains 26 g of fat per 100 g. According to the European Commission, solid foods can contain no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g to be labelled low fat.
Check which product is used as the reference and compare the nutrition information per 100 g. Don’t assume that a lower fat value automatically means a corresponding reduction in energy.
As well as peanuts, Duyvis Oven Baked Sundried Tomato and Herbs lists wheat and cereals containing gluten; the product may contain other nuts.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. Keep this information to hand if you’re handing out portions.
Albert Heijn has issued a warning about AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 4 November 2026 because it may contain metal fragments. The warning applies to that specific product format and date.
Do not eat products from that specific batch. Check the product format and best-before date; don’t automatically apply the warning to other AH peanuts.
The amount in a pack and the amount you eat at the festival aren’t the same thing.
Decide in advance how much you want to eat or share, and use that amount when working out the nutrition information.
The Duyvis products mentioned show why a description of how a product is made and a comparative claim should be assessed separately.
The products mentioned provide a reference point for unsalted peanuts and for Duyvis’s product-specific claim.
Jumbo Pinda’s Dry Roasted is an example of dry-roasted snack peanuts.
The Lidl products mentioned are roasted salted peanuts and peanuts with a spiced dough coating.
The Trader Joe’s variant mentioned provides a specific example of roasted, unsalted peanuts.
The PLUS unsalted stand-up pouch is an example of regular peanuts with nutrition information provided.
The products below offer different snack styles and pack sizes. They are not presented here as peanuts with a substantiated reduced-fat claim.

An option if you’re looking for unsalted peanuts and want to measure out your own portion; unsalted doesn’t automatically mean lower in fat.
The product information lists 250 g, 99% peanuts and sunflower oil. The product contains peanuts and may contain cashews.

This variant may suit you if you’re looking for oven-roasted peanuts with honey and a lightly salted flavour, but not if you want to assume it’s lower in fat based on the name alone.
The product information lists 5–6 servings and recommends resealing the pack after opening or storing it in an airtight container. The product contains peanuts and wheat and may contain other nuts.

An option to consider if you’re looking for peanuts in their shells; the pack size doesn’t automatically determine how much you eat.
The product name lists 500 g. According to the product information, it contains peanuts and may contain traces of nuts.
Image unavailable
An option if you’re looking for roasted peanuts in a 210 g pack; the preparation method alone doesn’t prove fat reduction.
The product information lists 100% peanuts.
No. A reduced-fat claim compares a product with a stated reference product; a low-fat claim has a separate threshold. According to the European Commission, solid foods must contain no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g. The Duyvis Sundried Tomato and Herbs variant reviewed contains 26 g of fat per 100 g, so it is not low in fat.
Not by itself. Duyvis describes Oven Baked Peanuts Original as roasted without added oil or fat; this description of how it’s made is not a measure of fat reduction. To check, compare the nutrition information and any claim with the stated reference product.
Multiply each value per 100 g by the weight of your portion in grams, then divide by 100. Use the same portion weight when comparing products. Nutrition information gives average values and is not a measurement of your individual portion.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. The Duyvis Sundried Tomato and Herbs variant reviewed lists peanuts and wheat, and may contain other nuts. Don’t assume a coated snack contains only peanuts.
Make sure customers can get allergen information before they buy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says this can be provided in writing, for example on a card, or verbally, with a visible notice telling customers they can ask for it. This applies to the sale of unpackaged portions, not to every visitor bringing their own snack.
