For a single snack on the go, an individual small pack is handy if you want to take some with you without repacking it: Duyvis lists a 40 g option. A multipack, such as the Duyvis pack of 20 x 45 g listed by Makro Netherlands, is more suited to repeated use; larger 125 g or 300 g bags need to be portioned yourself and are not portion recommendations. Check the exact variant, ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the packaging.
If you’re picking up a few extra groceries and want a snack for the journey, an individual pack can be handy when you don’t want to divide up a larger bag first. Duyvis lists the Lay's Patatje Joppie variant in 40 g and 200 g sizes.
If you want to have packs ready for different occasions, check the number of packs and the amount in each one. Makro Netherlands lists Duyvis Provencale in a 20 x 45 g pack; larger bags need to be portioned yourself.
If you’re looking for a particular flavour or need to check ingredients and allergens, compare the full flavour name and the label on the exact variant. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority provides general information about allergens on labels.
First decide whether you need one individual pack or enough for several occasions. Then check the flavour and the label on the exact variant.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking them with you | Check the amount in each pack and whether you’re buying one pack or a multipack. | Want to take one pack with you without dividing up a larger pack first? Around 42% of consumers put convenience for taking snacks on the go first. |
| Planning the quantity | Compare the total amount and the number of individual packs; a larger bag isn’t automatically one snack portion. | Want enough at home for planned snack breaks, without having more left over than you’ll use? Around 25% of consumers focus mainly on choosing the right amount. |
| Choosing a flavour | Read the full flavour name and check that the product variant is the one you’re looking for. | If a particular flavour is my priority, I’m willing to consider a different pack size too. Around 17% of consumers put flavour first. |
| Checking the label | Check the ingredients, allergens, any warnings and storage instructions on the pack you buy. | If the variant needs to meet my ingredient or allergen requirements, I check the label on that exact pack. Around 16% of consumers put label suitability first. |
A larger retail bag is a different sales format from an individual snack pack. You’ll need to decide how much to take with you and what to do with the rest.
Check the total amount and divide the bag up in advance if you want to take a smaller quantity on the go.
The Duyvis Provencale pack listed by Makro Netherlands contains twenty 45 g bags. It’s a supply of several individual packs, not one small pack to buy.
Choose a multipack if you want to use the bags on different occasions.
Otherwise, you may have packs left over to store.
Ingredients and allergen information relate to the exact product variant and can change. The label on a different flavour or pack doesn’t necessarily give you the same information.
Read the pack you buy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly shown on the label.

This bag suits several snack occasions if you want to portion it yourself; it isn’t an individual small pack for taking with you.
Amount: 275 g.
No. Treat the pack size as packaging information, not nutritional portion advice. Duyvis lists a small 40 g option; Makro Netherlands lists a sales unit of 20 x 45 g. It’s up to you how much to take with you.
Follow the instructions on the packaging for the exact variant. For Jumbo Cocktail savoury nuts 300 g and PLUS Mild savoury nuts 300 g, the stated storage advice is to keep them in a cool, dry, dark place.
Yes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly and correctly shown on the label. General EU labelling rules require any allergens to stand out in the ingredients list. This doesn’t tell you whether a specific variant is suitable for your allergy, so check the exact pack.
Check the current packaging, especially if you need to avoid allergens. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that, since 1 January 2026, inspections have checked whether labels on prepacked products give the correct warnings about cross-contamination with allergens.
It depends on the type of date. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre explains that a ‘best before’ date relates to quality: look, smell and taste the product. A ‘use by’ date relates to safety, so don’t use the product after that date. Also follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
