Ready to take with you
If you don’t want to weigh anything out at home, check that the product really contains individual inner bags. Makro lists Duyvis Provençale in a pack of twenty 45 g bags; this information applies to this specific pack.
Who is this useful for?
Checking vegan information for each product
If you’re looking for a vegan snack, it’s best to match the labelling to the exact flavour and pack. Makro lists Duyvis Provençale 20 × 45 g as vegan, while PLUS lists Oriental Style 300 g as vegan. This doesn’t confirm that all products from those brands are vegan.
Portioning it yourself
A larger bag could be a good choice if you want to portion it out at home. PLUS lists Oriental Style in a 300 g bag and recommends storing it in a cool, dry, dark place; check the instructions on the pack too.
What should you look for when buying?
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags to take with you | Check the number of inner bags and the weight of each one; a stated portion isn’t necessarily individually wrapped. | If you want to take a snack with you without weighing it out at home, a sealed inner bag is what matters most. Around 29% of consumers prioritise snacks that are ready to take with them. |
| Vegan information for each variety | Look for vegan labelling for the exact flavour and read the current ingredients list. | If you want to avoid animal-derived ingredients, make sure the information applies to the exact pack you’re buying. Around 29% of consumers prioritise checking that a product is vegan. |
| Portioning it yourself | Compare the net weight with the amount you want to take with you, and consider whether you need resealable packaging. | If you’d rather prepare smaller portions yourself at home, one larger bag could suit your routine. Around 18% of consumers prioritise portioning snacks themselves. |
| Flavour | Read the full product name and check that the vegan labelling applies to that flavour. | If you’re looking for a particular flavour, you’ll want to avoid applying information about one variety to another. Around 12% of consumers put their flavour preference first. |
| Amount per snack occasion | Check the net weight per bag or pack; don’t treat it as dietary advice. | If you want to choose how much to take with you, consider the amount you’d like to eat. Around 12% of consumers prioritise the amount they want. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming vegetarian means vegan
A vegetarian label doesn’t confirm that a product is vegan. PLUS lists its Mild product as vegetarian, while its Oriental Style product is labelled vegan.
Check the exact flavour, the current ingredients and the vegan labelling on the product.
-
Confusing a portion size with individual bags
A pack can contain several eating portions without those portions being individually wrapped.
Check the net weight and whether the pack explicitly states how many inner bags it contains.
-
Assuming vegan means safe for allergy sufferers
Vegan labelling doesn’t rule out allergens in the product or possible cross-contamination. The Duyvis Provençale small pack reviewed contains peanuts and wheat.
If you have an allergy, check the ingredients and allergen warnings separately from the vegan information.

Frequently asked questions
How can you check whether a variety of coated peanuts is vegan?
Check the exact product name, look for vegan labelling and read the current ingredients list. The Dutch Association for Veganism lists milk, whey, egg, honey and gelatine among the ingredients to look out for, so don’t check only the allergens in bold.
Does ‘may contain milk’ mean that milk has been added as an ingredient?
No. This warning relates to possible cross-contamination and is different from milk being added as an ingredient. The warning is still relevant if you have a milk allergy; the Dutch Vegetarian Association stresses that a vegan certification label doesn’t replace an allergen declaration.
Is vegan labelling enough if you have a peanut or wheat allergy?
No. The Duyvis Provençale small pack reviewed contains peanuts and wheat. Check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack separately from the vegan information.
How should you store an opened bag of coated peanuts?
For Duyvis Provençale, HANOS recommends storing the product in a cool, dry place after opening, preferably in a lightproof, airtight container. For Oriental Style, PLUS recommends storing it in a cool, dry, dark place. Follow the storage advice on the packaging you have.
How can you tell whether a pack contains individual portions to take with you?
Check whether the pack states the number of individual inner bags and the weight of each one. A stated portion size, such as the portions mentioned in the product description for the 125 g Duyvis pack, doesn’t prove that those portions are individually wrapped.
