If you want to hand out sealed packets without any preparation, a multipack of individually wrapped portions could be a good fit; one example listed by Duyvis contains 20 packets of 60 grams each. If you want to choose how much to take with you, or you’re looking for unsalted peanuts, portioning them from a larger bag is another option. Just make sure you seal the remaining peanuts well and store them in a dry place.
You want to give your fellow travellers sealed packets without having to portion peanuts into containers at home. Foods & Goods lists the Duyvis portion pack as containing 20 packets of 60 grams each. This size could be handy to take along and share; that’s an inference based on the packaging, not the result of a train trial.
You prepare your own portions in advance and want to decide how much to take. Jumbo lists unsalted peanuts in a 500-gram value pack, while PLUS and ALDI offer 250-gram bags of unsalted peanuts. These are larger bags, not multipacks of individually wrapped portions. Store the remainder in a well-sealed pack in a dry place, as advised by Voedingscentrum.
Your main priority is the variety, rather than a particular type of sharing pack. Voedingscentrum includes unsalted nuts and peanuts in the Wheel of Five. Check the description on the exact pack: the Duyvis portion pack listed is salted, while PLUS and ALDI, among others, offer unsalted bags.
A good fit if: you want to take sealed packets with you or prepare for several journeys from one box. Foods & Goods lists the Duyvis portion pack as containing 20 packets of 60 grams each.
Bear in mind: each packet has a fixed amount, and the variety is salted; 60 grams is a pack size, not a recommended personal portion.
A good fit if: you want to decide how much to take or are looking for unsalted peanuts. Jumbo, PLUS and ALDI list larger packs of unsalted peanuts.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to portion them at home, then seal the remaining peanuts well and store them in a dry place.
A good fit if: you only need a few sealed packs. Duyvis also lists individual pack sizes, including 60 grams.
Bear in mind: individual bags aren’t the same as a box of sharing packets; check the pack you’re actually choosing.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual packets | Check the number of inner packets and the amount in each one; the total weight alone won’t tell you whether it’s a multipack. | If I want to hand out sealed packets, I make sure each one is individually wrapped. Around 36% of consumers prioritise being able to share sealed packets. |
| Choosing the amount yourself | Check whether you can portion the contents of a larger bag and store the remainder well sealed in a dry place. | If I want to choose how much goes in my lunchbox, a larger bag suits my meal prep at home better. Around 28% of consumers prioritise choosing their own portion size. |
| Unsalted variety | Check the exact pack to see whether the peanuts are salted or unsalted, and review the ingredients and allergen information. | If I want unsalted peanuts, I choose the variety shown on the label rather than going by the type of packaging alone. Around 18% of consumers prioritise an unsalted product. |
| Stock and storage | Compare the total amount with how much you expect to use, and follow the best-before date and storage advice on the pack. | If I buy peanuts to enjoy on several occasions, I want to be able to store them without overlooking the instructions. Around 18% of consumers prioritise buying a suitable amount and storing it properly. |
A larger total weight doesn’t give you the same packaging format as several sealed packets. The Duyvis portion pack is listed as containing 20 individual packets; larger bags are a different type of packaging.
Check both the number of inner packets and the amount in each one before you choose.
Portioning them yourself takes preparation, and you’ll need to wash your own containers after use.
The listed 60 grams is the amount in a specific Duyvis packet, not personalised nutritional advice.
Decide how much you want to take with you. If a fixed packet size doesn’t suit you, you can portion peanuts from a larger bag yourself.
A box of 20 packets of 60 grams each contains 1200 grams in total. That’s a bulk pack, not necessarily the amount you need for one journey.
Choose an amount that suits how much you expect to use, and follow the storage advice on the specific pack.
Salted and unsalted products are different varieties. A recall notice may also apply to one specific product and doesn’t automatically say anything about other peanuts from the same brand.
Check the product name, variety, allergen information and best-before date on the pack. Albert Heijn’s notice concerned AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026.

Yes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority lists peanuts among the allergens consumers must be informed about. For pre-packed products, the allergen information is on the label; check it even if you’re going to transfer the peanuts into containers later.
Keep the remaining peanuts well sealed and store them in a dry place. Voedingscentrum recommends storing nuts in a cool place; also follow the best-before date and storage advice on the specific pack.
No. If you want to hand out individual portions, the number of separate inner packets is what matters. The Duyvis portion pack listed by Foods & Goods contains 20 packets of 60 grams each; the 500-gram bags listed by Jumbo and Lidl are larger packs, not boxes of sharing packets.
On 20 May 2026, Albert Heijn published a recall notice for AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026, due to possible metal fragments. Check whether the product name and date on your pack match; the notice doesn’t automatically apply to all AH peanuts or the unsalted variety.
Keep the original packaging or make a legible copy of the ingredients, allergen and best-before information. That way, you can keep the details with the peanuts after portioning them.
