Travellers who want to take one waffle
According to Albert Heijn, Kanjers Chocowafels are individually wrapped. That’s handy if you don’t want to open a sharing bag while you’re on the go.
Who are these packs handy for?
Travellers who want to share
The 157 g bag of Daelmans Mini Chocolate Caramel Waffles contains several small waffles to share. Think ahead about how you’ll store the opened bag.
Travellers who need to check allergens
The chocolate varieties mentioned contain wheat, milk and soya. Some packs also warn that they may contain nuts, so check the latest packaging for the product you choose.
What should you look for when buying?
First, decide whether you want one waffle per person or a pack to share. Then compare the ingredients, portion size and nutritional information for the variety in question.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Eating individually | Check whether the waffles are individually wrapped and where you can put the empty wrapper. | If you want to grab one waffle while you’re travelling, you may prefer not to have an opened sharing bag in your bag. For around 36% of consumers, being able to eat independently and neatly is a priority. |
| Sharing and portions | Compare the number of pieces and the weight, and check whether you can reseal the pack after opening. | If several travellers want a snack, small waffles from one bag or a fixed number of pieces may suit your plans better. Sharing or portion size matters most to around 29% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the latest packaging, including any warning that the product may contain nuts. | If you need to avoid certain ingredients, you’ll want to know exactly what’s in that particular variety before you buy. For around 21% of consumers, checking this is the top priority. |
| Nutritional information | Compare the nutritional values per 100 g and per portion, paying attention to the size of one waffle and the sugars listed. | If you’re choosing a sweet snack, it makes a difference whether a portion is one large waffle or several minis. Around 14% of consumers put nutritional value and portion size first. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming every variety has the same allergen profile
The chocolate varieties mentioned contain wheat, milk and soya, but other allergen information varies. Daelmans warns that they may contain nuts; the Jumbo varieties mentioned also list egg.
Check the latest packaging for the product you’re buying, including the ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ warning. Don’t rely on the name ‘chocolate caramel waffle’ for complete allergen information.
-
Assuming a product page means it’s currently available to order
Albert Heijn marks the own-brand varieties mentioned with milk and white chocolate as discontinued. Jumbo says the varieties mentioned are no longer available in its online range.
Before setting off, check current ordering options or store availability if you’re looking for a particular variety.
-
Choosing a sharing bag when you only want one waffle
Mini caramel waffles are ideal for offering to fellow travellers, but if you only want one on the go, you’ll need to take the opened bag with you. According to NS, rubbish should go in the bin.
Choose an individually wrapped waffle if you want to keep the rest sealed; take a sharing bag if you’re actually planning to share.
-
Comparing only the pack weight
A pack of four regular waffles and a bag of minis divide their total weight differently between the pieces. So the pack weight alone tells you little about the portion you’ll take with you or eat.
As well as the number of pieces, check the portion size and nutritional information per portion and per 100 g.
