For regular family sharing, start with a larger pack and compare its labelled protein per 100g with the amount in a serving. Tesco Mixed Nuts 500g lists 22.2g protein per 100g; KP Honey Roast Peanuts 390g lists 27g, alongside 14g sugars and 0.75g salt per 100g, while the M&S Protein Packed Nut and Seed Mix supplies 10g protein in an individual 30g pack. Check the current allergen information and any choking warning before choosing a pack for the household.
If several people will use the same pack, compare its weight, protein per 100g and ingredients. A larger pack may suit the cupboard better than several individual portions, provided its allergen information works for everyone who may eat it.
Look at both protein per serving and per 100g. A small pack can provide a clearly labelled individual portion without being the format you want for repeated family use.
Check the exact pack’s ingredients, allergen and precautionary statements, and any choking warning. Nut mixes and peanut products do not all have the same ingredients or warnings.
Decide whether the nuts are mainly for shared use or individual portions, then compare labels on the same per-100g basis. Pack size alone does not tell you the protein, sugars or salt in what you serve.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | Compare grams per 100g, then check grams in the serving you expect to use. Marks & Spencer lists 10g protein in its 30g Protein Packed Nut and Seed Mix pack; Tesco lists 22.2g per 100g for its Mixed Nuts 500g. | I want to know how much protein is in a portion, not just whether the front of the pack mentions protein. |
| Pack format | Check net weight and any storage instructions after opening. Tesco Mixed Nuts is a 500g pack, KP Honey Roast Peanuts a 390g share pack, and the M&S nut and seed mix a 30g individual pack. | Will several people use the pack over time, or do I need separate portions to take out? |
| Allergens and children | Read the current ingredients, emphasised allergens, precautionary statements and choking warnings for the exact product. Tesco’s Mixed Nuts listing says it may contain peanuts and other nuts; the KP listing warns that small children can choke on peanuts. | Everyone who might eat these nuts needs to be considered before I put a shared pack in the cupboard. |
| Sugars and salt | Compare both figures per 100g when choosing between plain and flavoured products. Tesco Groceries lists 14g sugars and 0.75g salt per 100g for KP Honey Roast Peanuts, while Tesco Mixed Nuts lists 0.02g salt per 100g. | If I choose a honey-roasted or salted snack for its flavour, I also want to see how its nutrition panel differs from a plain mix. |
Marks & Spencer’s Protein Packed Nut and Seed Mix supplies 10g protein, but each pack is 30g. That format serves a different purpose from a larger pack kept for sharing.
Choose the pack format first, then compare protein per serving and per 100g.
Flavouring can change the nutrition figures. Tesco Groceries lists 14g sugars and 0.75g salt per 100g for KP Honey Roast Peanuts.
Read the ingredients and per-100g panel when comparing plain, salted, honey-roasted and coated nuts.
The listed mixes contain different ingredients, and their precautionary statements differ. The M&S Protein Packed Nut and Seed Mix is stated to be unsuitable for people with nut, peanut or sesame allergy.
Check the current label of the exact pack each time, including any “may contain” statement.
The Tesco Groceries listing for Planters Protein Mix 155g showed it out of stock. A particular pack may therefore not be an option when you place the family order.
Check current availability and the label before relying on that product for the shop.
Planters Protein Mix is a peanut-led mixed-nut option in a 155g pack.
KP has peanut packs in several sizes; the Honey Roast Peanuts 390g product is presented as a share pack.
Tesco Mixed Nuts is a 500g pack containing hazelnuts, almonds, cashews and walnuts.
M&S Protein Packed Nut and Seed Mix is an individual 30g pack rather than a bulk sharing format.
These larger packs include assorted nuts, salted peanuts, pistachios and cashews for a family shop. Compare the current protein and allergen labels for each product rather than treating pack weight as a measure of either.

The 500g tin is a larger assorted-nut format for shared use. Check its current protein panel and the allergens in the mix before adding it to a household shop.
No image available
This 415g salted-peanut pack is a larger format for sharing. Compare its current salt and protein figures with other packs, and check the allergen statement.
No image available
The 500g pack suits a shop where the household wants pistachios rather than a mixed-nut selection. Check the current nutrition panel, allergen information and whether the nuts need shelling.
No image available
This is another 500g pistachio pack for shared household use. Compare its labelled protein and salt figures with the other pistachio option, and check the shell and allergen details.
No image available
The 500g pack offers cashews rather than a mixed-nut selection. Check its current protein and salt figures, ingredients and allergen statement before choosing it for sharing.
Compare the labelled grams per 100g first, then the grams in the portion you would serve. Marks & Spencer lists 10g protein in its individual 30g Protein Packed Nut and Seed Mix, while Tesco lists 22.2g per 100g for its 500g Mixed Nuts; the figures describe different pack and serving sizes.
It can cover individual portions, but a larger pack is a different choice for repeated sharing. The M&S nut and seed mix is 30g per pack, compared with the 500g Tesco Mixed Nuts pack and 390g KP Honey Roast Peanuts share pack; check their different ingredients and nutrition panels before choosing.
Check the current ingredients, emphasised allergens and any precautionary statement on the exact pack before buying it. The listed products differ: Tesco Mixed Nuts may contain peanuts and other nuts, while M&S states that its Protein Packed Nut and Seed Mix is unsuitable for people with nut, peanut or sesame allergy.
Do not leave whole nuts where small children can access them. Tesco’s Mixed Nuts and KP Honey Roast Peanuts listings carry warnings that small children can choke on nuts or peanuts; check the warning on the pack you buy.
