Who is this guide for?

If you want to compare the chocolate coating

When choosing a syrup waffle to enjoy with coffee or tea, it matters whether you prefer milk or white chocolate. Check the stated chocolate content too: Albert Heijn lists 29% milk chocolate for the four-pack of Daelmans waffles.

If you want a small pack delivered with your groceries

Check whether the syrup waffles can be added to an order for delivery to your address. Albert Heijn and Jumbo both have minimum spend requirements for home delivery.

If you check ingredients and portions

Compare the allergen and nutritional information for the exact option you’re considering. Check the number of waffles and the nutritional values per 100 g and per portion, then check the allergens again on the packaging you receive.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide which chocolate coating and ingredients suit your preferences. Then check that the exact pack can be ordered for your address and see how it fits into your grocery basket.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Chocolate coating Compare milk and white chocolate, and check the stated chocolate content for the exact option. If I’m choosing mainly for the chocolate flavour, I want to know what coating is on the waffle. Around 33% of consumers would put that choice first.
Online availability Once you’ve selected your delivery address, check whether the item can be added to your basket and what the home-delivery requirements are. A favourite option is no use to me if I can’t order it with my groceries. For around 25% of consumers, availability would therefore be the main consideration.
Allergens and ingredients Read the information for your chosen option, including any ‘may contain’ warnings, and check the packaging when it arrives. I want to be able to check that the ingredients and allergens meet my requirements before eating it. For around 25% of consumers, this would be their top priority.
Portion and nutritional information Compare the number of waffles, portion size and nutritional values per 100 g and per portion, including sugars and energy. If I plan to have one waffle as a portion, information per waffle is more useful than details for the whole pack alone. Around 17% of consumers would give the most weight to portion and nutritional information.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a product page means an item is available to order

    The Albert Heijn own-brand options and the Jumbo milk chocolate option covered here are listed on their product pages as discontinued. A page may still be visible even when the item is no longer available to order.

    Select your delivery address and check whether the exact option can be added to your basket. If you choose a replacement, check its label again.

  • Treating all chocolate syrup waffles as the same option

    Milk chocolate and white chocolate are different options. The stated chocolate content also applies to a specific pack, not to every product from a brand.

    Read the product description and ingredients for the option you want to order, rather than choosing based on the search term alone.

  • Overlooking an allergen warning

    For the Daelmans option covered here, Albert Heijn lists milk, wheat and soya, and warns that the product may contain nuts. Ingredients may differ in other options.

    Check the information for the exact item and read the label on the packaging you receive before eating it.

  • Judging home delivery by a single pack of syrup waffles

    An orderable pack doesn’t necessarily mean you can have it delivered on its own. Albert Heijn states a minimum spend for home delivery; Jumbo also has a minimum spend that depends on your postcode.

    Check the delivery requirements for your address and decide whether the pack fits into your usual grocery basket.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have a single pack of chocolate syrup waffles delivered?

A single pack won’t necessarily meet the requirements for home delivery. Albert Heijn states a minimum order value of € 45; Jumbo’s minimum is from € 50, depending on your postcode. Check the requirements for your address and see whether you can add the syrup waffles to your regular grocery order.

What should I check if I’m allergic to milk, wheat or soya?

Check the allergens for the exact option before buying, then check again on the packaging you receive. For the Daelmans option covered here, Albert Heijn lists milk, wheat and soya and warns that it may contain nuts; the Jumbo option covered here also lists egg.

Why should I read the label if the ingredients are listed online?

The label on the packaging you receive is the final check of the ingredients and allergens in the product you’re about to eat. Online product information can change; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be listed on the labels of prepacked foods.

How should I store chocolate-coated syrup waffles after delivery?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging you receive. For the Daelmans and Jumbo options covered here, the advice is to store them in a cool, dry, dark place. Check the instructions again for any other option.
