A nut multipack can give you a defined portion to plan or share, but an individual sachet should not be mistaken for a low-fat snack. Tesco lists 13.8g fat in a 25g Whitworths sachet and 14g in a 30g KP Dry Roasted sachet; Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust defines a low-fat serving as no more than 3g fat in its guidance for a very-low-fat diet. Check the fat and salt per individual pack against your eating plan, and seek advice from your care team if you have a prescribed fat restriction.
A sealed sachet gives you an amount to count rather than an open sharing bag to eat from. It does not change the fat content: Tesco lists 13.8g fat per 25g Whitworths sachet and 14g per 30g KP Dry Roasted sachet.
Do not treat a small nut pack as a low-fat serving. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust uses a threshold of no more than 3g fat per normal serving in its very-low-fat-diet guidance, well below the amounts declared for these sachets. Discuss suitable snacks with the clinician or dietitian managing your diet.
The exact flavour and pack matter. Tesco lists less than 0.01g salt per 25g Whitworths sachet and 0.48g per 30g KP Dry Roasted sachet. Read the ingredient and allergen statements on the pack you intend to buy, especially before offering it to someone else.
Start with the amount in one sealed portion, then check whether the pack format and ingredients suit how it will be eaten or shared.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat per portion | Read total fat for one sachet, not just per 100g. Check its weight and compare the whole portion with any fat allowance you follow. | I need to know what one unopened snack represents in my plan. If I have a prescribed very-low-fat diet, I need advice specific to that restriction rather than assuming a nut sachet qualifies. |
| Pack format | Check the number and size of the inner packs. A five-pack provides several defined portions, but the outer pack is not one serving. | Individually wrapped portions would make it easier for me to put snacks aside or divide them among people without opening a larger bag. |
| Salt | Compare salt per inner pack for the exact varieties. Tesco lists less than 0.01g per 25g Whitworths 1-Ders sachet and 0.48g per 30g KP Dry Roasted sachet; the portions are different sizes. | When I choose a regular snack, I want its declared salt amount to fit what I am looking for, rather than judging it by whether the nuts are roasted. |
| Ingredients and sharing | Read the named nuts or peanuts, other ingredients and any ‘may contain’ statement on the exact pack. Check its warnings before sharing it with children. | I need to know what is in each portion and whether it is appropriate for the person I am sharing it with. |
The amount still matters. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust defines a low-fat serving as no more than 3g fat in its very-low-fat-diet guidance, while Tesco lists 13.8g fat in a Whitworths sachet and 14g in a KP Dry Roasted sachet.
If a clinician has prescribed a fat restriction, ask your care team which snacks and portions fit it instead of using these multipacks as a default choice.
One snack may be a 25g or 30g inner pack. The amount eaten at once is easier to judge from its per-pack figures than from a per-100g figure alone.
Find the nutrition values for one sealed portion, then compare that portion with your plan before choosing the outer multipack.
Salt and ingredients differ between varieties. Peanuts and tree nuts are distinct allergen categories, as the Food Standards Agency explains.
Check the exact pack’s ingredient list, allergen statement and any child-safety warnings before buying or sharing it.
These specific packs provide useful label comparisons; a brand name alone does not establish the nutrition or format of another product.
The 1-Ders Nut Mix is a 5 x 25g multipack for buyers seeking separate mixed-nut portions.
KP offers 5 x 30g peanut snack-pack formats, including Dry Roasted and Original Salted.
Tesco’s 25g Mixed Nuts & Pecans pack offers a single-portion label comparison.
M&S describes both pocket-sized portions and sharing packs in its mixed-nut range.
These options include nut-containing bars as well as a multipack of peanuts. If you want individual packs of nuts rather than bars with other ingredients, check the product format before comparing portions.

This nut-containing bar multipack offers separate snacks, but it is not a pack of plain nuts. Check that the nutrition panel’s stated serving size matches the 35g bar before using its figures to plan a portion.

The 4 x 30g format provides separate cereal bars rather than individual packs of peanuts. Check the fat and salt for one bar, along with its full ingredient and allergen statements, if you are choosing snacks to share.
No image available
These 30g portions are nut-containing cereal bars, not plain nut sachets. Check one bar’s nutrition and ingredients for this dark-chocolate variety rather than assuming they match the roasted-peanut version.

This is the option here that consists of peanut snack packs rather than bars. Tesco lists 14g fat per 30g pack for KP Dry Roasted Peanuts; check the salt figure on the exact pack you buy if it affects your choice.

This three-pack contains almond and apricot bars with a yoghurt coating, rather than plain nuts for sharing. Check the nutrition for the amount in one bar, particularly if the label presents values per 100g.
The Whitworths and KP packs described here should not be treated as low-fat servings under Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust’s very-low-fat-diet guidance, which defines one as containing no more than 3g fat. Tesco lists 13.8g fat per Whitworths sachet and 14g per KP Dry Roasted sachet; KP Nuts’ per-100g figure for Original Salted works out to 15.3g per 30g pack. If your diet is medically prescribed, ask your care team about suitable portions and alternatives.
No. Individual wrapping makes the amount you open at one time clearer; it does not change the nuts’ composition. Compare fat for the whole sachet with your plan, rather than relying on the pack’s small appearance or its per-100g figure alone.
Read salt per individual pack for the exact varieties you are considering. Tesco lists less than 0.01g salt per 25g Whitworths 1-Ders sachet and 0.48g per 30g KP Dry Roasted sachet; check the current pack label before buying, as the portions and products differ.
No. The Food Standards Agency distinguishes peanuts, which are legumes, from tree nuts. Before buying or sharing a pack, check its specific ingredients and any ‘may contain’ statement for the person who will eat it.
