Do not treat plain or unsalted nuts as reduced-fat: Tesco Mixed Nuts list 13.4g fat per 25g serving, while Sainsbury's Unsalted Mixed Nuts list 14.9g per 25g serving. If lower total fat is the requirement, compare nutrition panels rather than relying on the product name. For a shared office tin, keep the current ingredients and allergen information beside it; individual packs offer a defined serving but still need their own label checked.
If colleagues will take nuts from one container, keep the current ingredients and allergen information where they can see it before eating. Peanuts and tree nuts are distinct allergens in UK Food Standards Agency guidance.
Plain or unsalted mixes may fit a salt-focused choice, but that does not establish a reduced-fat claim. Tesco Mixed Nuts and Sainsbury's Unsalted Mixed Nuts each list less than 0.01g salt per 25g serving; their stated fat figures are 13.4g and 14.9g respectively.
A separate pack provides a stated amount without refilling an open tin. Tesco Groceries lists one 30g serving per pack for KP Salted Peanuts Snack Packs, alongside 15g fat and 0.36g salt per pack. Portion size and nutrition still need separate checks.
Decide whether the office needs a refillable tin or separate servings, then compare total fat, salt and allergen information on the products themselves.
Consider it when: Colleagues want one shared snack and a plain or unsalted mix fits the salt preference.
Bear in mind: Servings are not pre-set, and the current pack information must remain available beside the tin.
Consider them when: A stated serving and avoiding repeated hand contact with an open tin matter more.
Bear in mind: Separate packaging does not make the nuts reduced-fat or remove allergen warnings; check salt as well.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Total fat | Compare total fat per 100g on like-for-like products, then check the stated serving size. Tesco Groceries lists 13.4g per 25g for its Mixed Nuts; Sainsbury's lists 14.9g per 25g for its Unsalted Mixed Nuts. | I'm looking to reduce total fat, not simply avoid added salt. I need the nutrition panel to support that choice. |
| Salt | Read salt per 100g and per serving. Tesco and Sainsbury's list less than 0.01g per 25g for the mixes above; Tesco Groceries lists 0.36g per 30g pack for KP Salted Peanuts Snack Packs. | For a snack that stays available through the workday, I would rather compare salt figures than assume every nut pack is alike. |
| Serving format | Check how much is in each pack or stated serving. The KP multipack lists one 30g serving per pack; a refillable tin needs an agreed way to serve it. | A defined pack amount suits me better than taking repeated handfuls from a desk-side tin. |
| Allergen information | Read the current ingredients and any precautionary warnings. Keep that information beside a decanted tin and check it again when refilling. | Everyone using the tin should be able to identify peanuts, tree nuts and any other declared allergens before taking a snack. |
Salt and total fat are different figures. Tesco Mixed Nuts list 13.4g fat per 25g serving, and Sainsbury's Unsalted Mixed Nuts list 14.9g per 25g serving.
Compare total fat per 100g and the serving size. If a particular fat figure is essential, choose only after checking the candidate's own label.
Colleagues may then be unable to check the ingredients or warnings before eating. UK Food Standards Agency guidance lists peanuts and tree nuts as separate allergens.
Keep the current packet with the tin, or display its current ingredient and allergen information beside it. Do not describe a nut mix as suitable for everyone.
A fixed serving tells you how much is in the pack, not its nutritional profile. Tesco Groceries lists 15g fat and 0.36g salt in each 30g KP Salted Peanuts Snack Pack.
Choose the format for how the office will use it, then compare the nutrition panels separately.
A notice copied from an earlier packet may not describe the product currently in the tin, particularly if the flavour, pack or supplier changes.
Check the physical packet's ingredients, nutrition and allergen wording each time you refill the tin.
Tesco Mixed Nuts 200G are an example of a plain mix to assess for a refillable tin.
Sainsbury's Unsalted Mixed Nuts 200g provide another salt-focused mixed-nut reference.
KP Salted Peanuts Snack Packs offer separate servings rather than nuts for refilling a communal tin.
Marks & Spencer describes mixed-nut ranges that include pocket-sized portions and sharing packs.
These options include chestnut snacks and portioned nut mixes. Chestnuts offer a different format from a tin of mixed roasted nuts; check each pack's nutrition and allergen information against the office's requirements.

The split-shell chestnut format is an alternative to refilling a tin with mixed nuts. The 270g product contains three packs; check the pack's fat figures, ingredients and allergens before choosing it for the office.

Whole chestnuts are a different snack format from a crunchy mixed-nut tin. Compare the 180g pack's nutrition panel and check its ingredient and allergen wording before sharing.

This 50g chestnut-kernel pack provides a stated pack amount instead of a communal mixed-nut tin. If total fat is the deciding factor, check its nutrition panel; retain the ingredient and allergen information for office users.

Consider this nut-and-seed mix if the office prefers mixed ingredients over chestnuts. Check the pack format and serving size, then read its fat, salt, ingredient and allergen information; a mixed-nut name does not establish a reduced-fat claim.

Thirty sachets provide separate packs of this nut-and-dried-fruit mix for office distribution. The 750g pack format sets out the division, but does not establish a reduced-fat claim; check the nutrition panel and ingredients, including allergens.
Not necessarily: ‘unsalted’ describes salt, not total fat. Tesco Groceries lists 13.4g fat per 25g serving for Tesco Mixed Nuts, and Sainsbury's lists 14.9g per 25g for its Unsalted Mixed Nuts. Compare total fat per 100g and per serving on the product you intend to buy.
Keep the current packet with the tin, or put its ingredient and allergen information beside it so colleagues can check before eating. UK Food Standards Agency guidance identifies peanuts and tree nuts as separate allergens; individual products may carry further warnings.
Choose individual packs when a stated serving and avoiding repeated hand contact with an open tin are priorities; choose a refillable tin when a shared container suits the office better. Check nutrition and allergens either way: Tesco Groceries lists one 30g serving, 15g fat and 0.36g salt in each KP Salted Peanuts Snack Pack.
Use the page to compare products, then check the physical packet before filling the tin. Keep information from that current packet beside the nuts, and check again when you refill or change product.
