Choose individually wrapped chocolate-coated syrup waffles if you want to set out one portion for each attendee in advance. Mini waffles in a sharing bag are a better fit for an informal coffee break. Whichever you choose, check the label on the specific pack before serving: the varieties described contain wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients, while warnings about other allergens vary.
If you want to set out a waffle for each attendee, individual wrapping matters. Albert Heijn describes Kanjers Chocowafels as individually wrapped. The Daelmans pack of four regular waffles contains four pieces, but that doesn’t necessarily mean each waffle is individually wrapped.
If attendees will help themselves from a plate, mini waffles in a sharing bag are an alternative to serving one regular waffle per person. For Daelmans Mini’s, Albert Heijn gives a serving size of three mini syrup waffles. Bear the opened bag in mind when setting them out.
If attendees need to avoid certain ingredients, the label on the exact variety matters more than the brand name. The Daelmans and Kanjers varieties described contain wheat, milk and soya; other allergen warnings vary by product.
First decide whether you want to set out waffles for each person or let everyone share. Then check the allergen information and whether the pack you’ve chosen will be available when you shop.

The Daelmans and Kanjers varieties described contain wheat, milk and soya, but their other warnings differ. A label you read previously for the same brand is no substitute for the information on the pack you’ve chosen.

Check the ingredients and allergen information on the current label of the chocolate-coated syrup waffles you’ve chosen.

According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, any allergens that must be declared have to be clearly listed in the ingredients list.
The Daelmans and Kanjers varieties described contain wheat and milk, so they’re not gluten-free or vegan. Don’t assume this applies to other varieties: check the current packaging for the specific product.
Follow the storage instructions and date on the pack you actually buy. The Daelmans, Kanjers and Jumbo product pages described recommend storing the waffles in a cool, dry place; the Daelmans page also says to keep them away from light.
