If you’re looking for a low-fat chocolate stroopwafel, the small difference between the three milk chocolate varieties compared here won’t help much: according to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, they contain between 21 and 22.5 g of fat per 100 g. If you’d like one now and then, compare the fat and saturated fat per 100 g, consider how much you’ll actually eat and check the allergens on the current packaging.
You’re looking for a chocolate stroopwafel with a low fat content as a firm requirement. According to Albert Heijn and Jumbo, each of the products compared contains more than 20 g of fat per 100 g, so the difference between them won’t resolve your choice.
You want to compare chocolate stroopwafels without mistaking a relatively lower fat figure for a low-fat product. The nutritional values per 100 g give you a consistent basis for comparison; after that, the weight of the waffle or portion matters.
Before choosing, you check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging of the product you’re actually buying. For the products compared, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list milk, wheat and soya, among other ingredients; the Daelmans variety also carries a warning that it may contain nuts.
First decide whether a low fat content is essential or whether you want to weigh out a portion of chocolate stroopwafel. Check for allergens regardless of which nutritional values you compare.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Low fat content as a requirement | Check the total fat per 100 g and compare it with your own criteria. A lower figure than that of another stroopwafel doesn’t, by itself, mean the product is low in fat. | If I’m only looking for a low-fat stroopwafel, the least fatty of three varieties won’t automatically be suitable. A low fat content would be the main requirement for around 46% of consumers. |
| Comparison and portion size | Compare the fat and saturated fat per 100 g, then check the weight of the waffle or portion. | I want to have a waffle now and then and be able to estimate what my chosen portion contains. For around 36% of consumers, choosing a portion would be the main consideration. |
| Allergens and recipe | Read the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging, including any warnings about possible traces. | If I need to avoid an allergen, I want to check the information on that exact packaging before choosing. For around 18% of consumers, this would be the deciding step. |
According to Albert Heijn, the Daelmans variety compared contains 21 g of fat per 100 g. That’s less than the other two varieties compared, but the difference between them doesn’t make this product category a low-fat choice.
Look at the figure per 100 g and consider whether it suits what you’re looking for, rather than simply choosing the lowest figure.
Albert Heijn lists a 36 g portion for its AH variety, while Jumbo gives 36.5 g; Daelmans lists one stroopwafel as a portion. The portion sizes aren’t directly comparable.
First compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then consider how many grams you want to have.
The products compared list milk, wheat and soya. According to Albert Heijn, the Daelmans variety also carries a warning that it may contain nuts.
Read the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging, even if you’ve bought the product before.
The nutritional table or ingredients list on a retailer’s website may not match the packaging you eventually buy.
When buying, check which variety is on offer and read the nutritional information and allergens on the packaging again.
The Milk Chocolate Stroopwafels 4-pack is a milk chocolate variety for anyone who wants to compare the nutritional values of a specific product.
According to Albert Heijn, the AH Milk Chocolate Stroopwafel has a stated serving size of 36 g.
Jumbo Milk Chocolate Stroopwafels 219 g gives you another point of comparison, with a stated serving size of 36.5 g.
No. The lowest figure in a small comparison doesn’t, by itself, prove that a product is low in fat. According to Albert Heijn, the Daelmans variety compared contains 21 g of fat per 100 g; the AH variety described contains 22 g, while Jumbo’s variety contains 22.5 g per 100 g.
First use the nutritional values per 100 g as your basis for comparison, then consider the weight you’ll actually have. This prevents different stated portion sizes from skewing the comparison.
For the varieties discussed, Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product information lists milk, wheat and soya. Albert Heijn also says that the Daelmans variety may contain nuts; if you have an allergy or intolerance, always check the current packaging.
Follow the storage advice on your product’s packaging. The product pages described by Albert Heijn and Jumbo recommend storing them in a cool, dry place; the AH and Daelmans varieties are also recommended to be stored away from light.
