Compare the total fat per 100 grams and decide in advance how much to put in your snack bowl. Don’t choose based only on terms such as oven-roasted or unsalted. Duyvis describes Oven Baked Peanuts Original as roasted without added fat, but that doesn’t tell you how much total fat the peanuts contain. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says unsalted nuts are a suitable choice as part of the Wheel of Five; unsalted doesn’t automatically mean lower in fat.
You’re looking for whole snack peanuts with less fat and want to distinguish a nutrition claim from a preparation method that uses no added fat. Duyvis describes Oven Baked Peanuts Original as made without added oil or fat; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre provides nutritional values for peanuts as a category, not for every individual product.
You want to decide how many peanuts to serve, regardless of the size of the bag. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 11.8 grams of fat per 25-gram serving for dry-roasted peanuts; use the nutritional information on the pack to work out your own portion.
You prefer unsalted peanuts and don’t want to confuse that choice with low-fat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts, including peanuts, in the Wheel of Five; check the fat content separately.
First compare the total fat on the same basis, then decide on your portion and consider salt, flavour and pack size as separate choices.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Verified lower total fat | Compare the total fat per 100 grams and check which product is used as the basis for the claim. | If I want to eat less fat, I want to compare the labels rather than rely on a product name; around 31% of consumers rank a verified fat reduction as their top buying priority. |
| Amount in your bowl | Weigh your portion and use the nutritional values for that exact variant. | For my TV snack bowl, I want to decide the amount myself, regardless of the pack size; around 25% of consumers give portion control top priority. |
| Choosing unsalted | Check that the specific variant is labelled unsalted; assess the fat content separately. | If salt is my main consideration, I look for an unsalted variant without assuming that means less fat; around 19% of consumers put unsalted first. |
| Flavour and preparation | Check whether the peanuts are plain, roasted or coated, and read the ingredients. | For my snack, I mainly want a flavour and preparation method I enjoy, while considering nutritional values separately; around 13% of consumers prioritise flavour and preparation. |
| Pack size | Compare the pack contents with the amount you plan to use. | I want to buy an amount that suits me, rather than simply choosing a larger bag; around 12% of consumers rank pack value as their top buying priority. |
A preparation method that uses no added fat doesn’t tell you how much total fat the peanuts themselves contain. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 11.8 grams of fat per 25-gram serving for the general category of dry-roasted peanuts; this isn’t a product-specific value.
Check the total fat on the pack and compare products per 100 grams. Treat oven-roasting as a separate preparation feature.
The claim that Duyvis Japanese Party Mix had 40% less fat referred to regular peanuts in a crunchy coating. Albert Heijn says this mix is no longer in its range; the claim says nothing about plain peanuts.
Check the exact product, the comparison cited and the information on the pack before relying on a fat-reduction claim.
The amount in a pack isn’t the same as the amount for one snack break. Jumbo lists unsalted peanuts in 250- and 500-gram packs.
Decide separately how much you want to serve and compare packs on the same weight basis.
Albert Heijn has issued a warning about AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026 due to possible metal fragments. The warning doesn’t automatically apply to all AH peanuts.
Compare the variant, packaging and best-before date with the warning. Don’t eat the product with the date specified.
The product ranges mentioned can help you compare preparation methods, salt content and packaging. These features don’t, on their own, prove that a product has a lower fat content.

No. Duyvis describes Oven Baked Peanuts Original as roasted without added fat, but that doesn’t tell you how much total fat the peanuts contain. For the general category of dry-roasted peanuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 11.8 grams of fat per 25-gram serving; this isn’t an exact nutritional value for this Duyvis product.
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, the low-fat claim for solid foods means no more than 3 grams of fat per 100 grams. Don’t treat a comparative claim such as reduced fat as a synonym: check the product packaging to see which product and feature are being used for comparison.
Use the nutritional values on your pack: grams of fat per 100 grams × the weight of your portion ÷ 100. Compare different products on the same basis; for its example of dry-roasted peanuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses a 25-gram serving.
Check the allergen information on the label of pre-packed peanuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says this information must appear on the label; since 2026, the NVWA has also been checking the new rules for warnings about unintended cross-contamination.
No. Albert Heijn’s warning concerns 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 the product with that date; the warning doesn’t automatically apply to other AH peanuts or products with different best-before dates.
