Who is this choice relevant to?

Commuters with coeliac disease

When you’re having coffee on the go, you’ll want a stroopwafel that fits a strict gluten-free diet. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre describes this diet as a lifelong necessity for people with coeliac disease.

People who also check for other allergens

As well as gluten, you may need to look out for egg, lupin or other allergens. Compare the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack you’re buying, even when choosing between gluten-free stroopwafels.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a regular stroopwafel is gluten-free

    A stroopwafel without an explicit gluten-free label isn’t a suitable alternative if you have coeliac disease.

    Check the current packaging for a gluten-free label before choosing or eating the product.

  • Assuming gluten-free means free from other allergens

    The gluten-free products described from AH, Jumbo, Leev and Consenza list egg and lupin. Warnings about other allergens can also vary between products.

    If you have another allergy, read the full ingredients list and the ‘may contain’ statement for the exact product.

  • Relying on outdated product information

    Ingredient information can change, and a pack listed previously may not be available when you go shopping.

    Check availability before buying and read the information on the packaging before eating the product.
