Choose individual snack bags if you want to give each guest a sealed snack to take away, a smaller bag if you want to decide the portion size yourself, or a larger sharing bag for the communal table. Albert Heijn lists Duyvis Provencale as a pack of twenty 45 g bags; Jumbo describes Duyvis Cocktail as a 125 g bag. A smaller bag does not automatically equal one serving, so check the serving size, ingredients and storage advice on the packaging too.
Want to give each guest an individually sealed bag to take away, or offer a snack for the journey home? Check the number of individual packs and the weight of each bag. Albert Heijn lists the Duyvis Provencale 20-pack as containing twenty 45 g bags.
A 125 g bag is a smaller pack size than a large sharing bag or a box of individual snack bags. The weight of the bag alone does not tell you how many servings it contains.
Match the quantity, flavour and storage options to your get-together. Albert Heijn lists twelve 25 g label servings for its 300 g cocktail variety; Jumbo describes a 500 g cocktail sharing bag.
First decide whether you want to hand out sealed portions or serve them yourself. Then consider how much you need, the flavour and the ingredients for your guests.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions or a sharing bag | Check the number of individual packs and the weight of each bag; distinguish the bag’s weight from the serving size shown on the label. | If I want to give every guest a sealed bag, I check how many bags are inside and how many grams each one contains. For around 36% of consumers, individual portions to hand out or take away are the top priority. |
| How much you need for the get-together | Compare the total weight with the amount you need for the snack table. | If I want to serve enough without buying more than suits the occasion, I start with the number of guests and the bag weight. The right quantity comes first for around 22% of consumers. |
| Flavour | Check the exact flavour and ingredients; a flavour description is not an independent taste test. | When choosing a flavour for a group, I check the variety and take different preferences into account. For around 21% of consumers, flavour is the top priority. |
| Ingredients for your guests | Read the ingredients and distinguish allergens present in the product from warnings about possible cross-contamination. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I check the information on the packaging of that exact variety. Around 21% of consumers prioritise ingredients and suitability for their guests. |
The weight of the retail pack and the serving size on the label are two different things. For example, Albert Heijn lists twelve 25 g servings in a 300 g sharing bag, not twelve individual bags.
Check the weight of each individual pack and the number of label servings separately.
A variety may contain other allergens as well as peanuts. The product information reviewed, for example, lists wheat, milk or celery; the details vary by product.

Twenty guests, if you give each one individual pack. Albert Heijn lists the Duyvis Provencale version as containing twenty 45 g bags.
Follow the instructions on the label for your chosen variety. For AH Cocktail, Albert Heijn advises storing it in a cool, dark and dry place and sealing the pack securely after use; PLUS gives the same cool, dry and dark storage advice for PLUS Mild. These recommendations do not specify a universal number of days the product will keep once opened.
Don’t assume peanut snack nuts are suitable for children. Albert Heijn and PLUS warn that young children may choke on peanuts.
‘Contains’ identifies an allergen present in the product; ‘may contain’ warns that it could be present unintentionally, for example through cross-contamination. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says new rules for these warnings apply from 1 January 2026, based on a risk assessment. The two statements therefore do not mean the same thing.
Prepacked foods must have mandatory product information available, including ingredients, allergens, net quantity and durability information. Business.gov.nl states that mandatory label information must be available in Dutch and online; according to the European Union, allergens present must be emphasised in the ingredients list.
