Check the ingredients and vegan labelling of the specific product first, then decide how much preparation you want to do. You can portion out a vegan-labelled unsalted mix from a larger bag yourself. Individual packs are easier to take with you, but check the weight of each pack and whether the ingredients suit your preferences.
You’re looking for a snack that’s easy to take with you, and you check the ingredients and vegan labelling of the specific product. The product pages for Albert Heijn and PLUS state that their respective mixes are labelled vegan.
You want to prepare your own portions and don’t mind dividing up a larger bag. Albert Heijn lists a 25-gram portion for its unsalted mix; a portion size on the label doesn’t mean the bag contains individual portions.
Your choice depends on the types of nuts, added salt and allergen information. Vegan labelling doesn’t replace checking the ingredients and any warnings about cross-contamination.
First, check the recipe and allergen information. Then decide whether you want individual packs or prefer to portion the nuts yourself, and compare the quantity, salt content and mix.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Vegan recipe | Check the vegan labelling and ingredients of the specific product. The Dutch Vegetarian Association emphasises that a vegan certification mark is not an allergen declaration. | If I want to eat vegan, I need to know exactly what’s in the mix I choose, and I keep an eye on allergens separately. Around 31% of consumers prioritise a suitable recipe. |
| Individual packs | Check the number of individual packs and the weight of each one. Albert Heijn lists twenty 25-gram portions in one larger bag; bol lists twenty 60-gram sachets in the Duyvis multipack. | If I want to take something with me without weighing it out in advance, sealed individual packs are handy. Around 31% of consumers give convenience on the go top priority. |
| Portion size and salt | Check whether the product is unsalted and look at the stated portion size. Albert Heijn’s portion information applies to that specific product. | If I want to prepare a suitable portion myself, I look at both the portion size and salt content. Around 25% of consumers prioritise managing portions of unsalted nuts. |
| Nut mix and stock | Compare the types of nuts listed and check whether the mix contains peanuts. PLUS lists walnuts, blanched hazelnuts, almonds and cashews; Jumbo also lists peanuts. | I check which mix suits my preferences and whether I’ll use a larger bag in time. Around 13% of consumers prioritise the ingredients and a practical pack size. |
Vegan labelling doesn’t mean a product is free from peanuts, tree nuts or the risk of cross-contamination. The Dutch Vegetarian Association distinguishes between vegan certification and allergen information.
If you have a food allergy, assess the ingredients and warnings separately. Don’t choose a product based on a vegan label alone.
The Duyvis multipack described by bol contains 60-gram sachets. So an individual sachet won’t necessarily be the amount you want to eat or take with you.
Check the weight of each sachet and decide in advance whether you want to use the whole contents.
Duyvis describes Almonds Original as roasted without added oil or fat. The ingredients list for the specific Oven roasted almonds product at Albert Heijn includes a savoury seasoning mix with salt.
Read the ingredients and salt information for the product you choose. If you prefer unsalted nuts, choose a product explicitly labelled as such.
A 500-gram bag isn’t a collection of individual snack packs. Portioning it yourself takes preparation, and you’ll need a suitable way to store the opened bag.
Choose an amount that suits how you’ll use it, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
The details below apply to the products or product ranges mentioned, not automatically to the entire brand or range.
Worth considering for individual packs of salted peanuts and the specific Almonds Original range.
The 500-gram AH Unsalted Nut Mix is a larger bag for anyone who wants to prepare their own portions.
The 200-gram unsalted Nut Mix is a smaller bag containing peanuts and tree nuts.
The Lidl nut mix described is a 200-gram product sold in store and described as unroasted and unsalted.
The 500-gram Trader Joe’s Nut Medley mentioned is an unsalted mix of various tree nuts in a larger bag.
The 500-gram unroasted, unsalted Nut Mix is a larger bag that you can portion out yourself.
These Joybuy product options include different pack types and nut mixes for on the go. Check the ingredients and any vegan labelling for each product; the product category alone doesn’t confirm that it’s suitable for a vegan diet.

No. Vegan labelling isn’t an allergen declaration.

The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that new Dutch rules for warnings about possible cross-contamination will apply from 1 January 2026.
No. Albert Heijn lists twenty 25-gram portions in one 500-gram bag of AH Unsalted Nut Mix. The Duyvis multipack described by bol, on the other hand, contains twenty individual 60-gram sachets.
Check the vegan labelling and ingredients list for the specific product. A brand name or the word ‘nuts’ doesn’t tell you for certain; if you have an allergy, take the allergen information and warnings into account too.
Store nuts in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed container, and follow the instructions on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a cool place; PLUS recommends storing the mix mentioned in a dry, dark place. Always follow the instructions for your product.
Check the actual packaging and ask the retailer or manufacturer for clarification before using the product. Albert Heijn warns that ingredients and allergen information can change. If you have an allergy, don’t rely on conflicting online shop information as proof that a product is safe.
