Who is this choice relevant to?

Budget-conscious shopper with coeliac disease

You’re looking for a mix clearly labelled gluten-free and want to know what else you’ll need before you do your shopping.

Careful label reader

You don’t rely on ‘wheat-free’ alone. You check the gluten-free label, ingredients and allergens on the packaging, as this information can change.

Home baker with specific preparation needs

You want to know whether the recipe works with the milk or plant-based drink and eggs or egg substitute you plan to use. The properties of a dry mix don’t automatically apply to the pancakes once prepared.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start by checking the gluten-free label on the packaging. Then see what you’ll need for the batter and whether you can buy your chosen mix in the way that suits you.

What to consider What to check Especially relevant for
Gluten-free label Look for ‘gluten-free’ or the Crossed Grain symbol on the packaging, and read the ingredients and allergen information. When I’m baking for someone with coeliac disease, I don’t want to rely on an ingredient name; I want to be able to check the current label. Around 45% of consumers prioritise this check.
Complete shopping list Check the pack size, what else you need to add, and whether you can buy the mix in-store or online. When I’m baking on a budget, I want to know in advance what I need to buy in addition to the dry mix. Around 36% of consumers prioritise having a complete shopping list.
Preparation preferences Read the recipe and also check the labels of the drink, egg substitute and cooking fat you plan to use. If I want to use different additions, the whole recipe needs to suit my needs, not just the dry mix. This flexibility in preparation matters most to around 19% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘wheat-free’ means ‘gluten-free’

    ‘Wheat-free’ is not the same as ‘gluten-free’. According to the Voedingscentrum, you can identify gluten-free products by the words ‘gluten-free’ or the Crossed Grain symbol on the packaging.

    Check the label when you buy the product, and read the current ingredients and allergen information too.

  • Putting only the dry mix on your shopping list

    For AH Glutenvrij Pannenkoekenmix, Albert Heijn also lists milk or a plant-based drink and eggs or an egg substitute. Koopmans Pannenkoeken Glutenvrij also requires additional ingredients.

    Before you shop, read the preparation instructions for your chosen mix and check that the additional ingredients suit your needs.

  • Relying on an old product listing as a way to buy

    Jumbo no longer lists its Lekker Vrij van Gluten Pannenkoeken Mix in its online range. Albert Heijn marks Peak's Pannenkoekenmix as discontinued.

    Check with your shop or online retailer to see whether a product is available before counting on it.

Frequently asked questions
