For your summer holiday, compare the price per kilo for the same flavour and pack size, then choose an amount that suits how much you expect to use. Own-brand is an option if price is your priority. If you have a favourite flavour or need to consider allergens, the exact product and its label matter more than the price per kilo alone.
If you’re buying savoury coated peanuts for several occasions or for a group, compare the pack size and price per kilo of the exact product rather than looking at the brand name alone. This approach is in line with the packaging information provided by Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS.
If you don’t eat many savoury coated peanuts or don’t want to be left with a large opened bag, pack size and storage instructions after opening matter as well as price. Jumbo, PLUS and the Netherlands Nutrition Centre provide helpful information on this.
If you’re looking for a particular flavour or need to take ingredients and allergens into account, check the full product name and the label for that variant. Duyvis describes the flavour of Provençale, while the NVWA provides information on allergen labelling.
First compare the exact flavour and price per kilo. Then check the cost of the whole bag and choose an amount that suits your needs and the product label.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Price per kilo | Compare the price per kilo for the same flavour and check the net weight. | If I’m buying for a group, I want to know how much is in the pack and what it costs per kilo. Around 36% of consumers focus mainly on the price per kilo. |
| Cost per bag | Check the price of the exact pack and how much you need. | If I only need one bag, I want to keep the cost down, even if a larger pack works out cheaper per kilo. Around 22% of consumers focus mainly on the cost of each purchase. |
| Quantity and storage | Choose a weight that suits how much you expect to use; follow the storage advice on the packaging. | I want to choose a bag that suits the occasions I’ll be snacking and the place where I can store it. Around 14% of consumers focus mainly on choosing the right amount and storing it. |
| Flavour variant | Check the full flavour name and the description of the seasoning. | If I’m looking for a particular flavour, I don’t want to rely on a similar-sounding name alone. Around 14% of consumers focus mainly on a specific flavour. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant. | If someone in my group needs to take ingredients or allergens into account, I check the label before choosing. Around 14% of consumers focus mainly on nutritional or allergen information. |
A smaller pack may cost less at the till, while having a higher price per kilo than a larger bag. PLUS Borrelnoten Mild and Jumbo Cocktail are different variants, so this is a price comparison, not a flavour comparison.
Compare both the price per kilo and the cost of the whole pack, then choose based on how much you need.
A larger bag may work out cheaper per kilo, but the printed best-before date does not automatically apply as a storage period once the pack has been opened. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says the best-before date applies as long as the packaging remains unopened.
Choose an amount that suits your planned snacking occasions and follow the packaging instructions after opening.
Products aren’t identical just because they have the same flavour name: the brand, recipe and net weight can all differ. For example, Albert Heijn lists several pack variants in its range.
Check the full product name, brand, net weight and ingredients before comparing prices or alternatives.

Divide the price of the pack by its weight in kilos. Then compare the total cost too, and check that you’re looking at the same flavour variant and the correct net weight.
Follow the storage advice on the packaging. The Jumbo Cocktail and PLUS Mild products reviewed state that they should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; they do not say that they must be kept in the freezer.
No. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, the best-before date applies as long as the packaging remains unopened. Follow the instructions on the packaging after opening.
Check the allergen information for the exact variant and the pack you receive. The NVWA says allergens must be clearly and correctly listed on the label; Business.gov.nl states that food label information must be available in Dutch and online.
According to the NVWA, new rules have applied since 1 January 2026 on how and when food businesses must warn about allergens that unintentionally get into food. This does not confirm that every individual pack complies with all the rules, so check the information for the product you’re buying.
