Who is this relevant to?

Anyone with coeliac disease who checks labels carefully

You want to choose a stroopwafel explicitly labelled gluten-free, and check the current packaging for allergens and any cross-contamination warnings too.

Anyone who wants to take an individually wrapped stroopwafel with them

For work, school or when you’re out and about, you’re looking for an individually wrapped portion. Check the packaging of the exact gluten-free variant; the name of a multipack doesn’t tell you how the waffles are wrapped inside.

Anyone who wants to shop at their usual supermarket

You’re comparing gluten-free stroopwafels from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS, and checking which variants and pack sizes are available before you shop.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check the gluten-free label and the packaging for the exact variant. Then see whether the waffles are individually wrapped and where you can buy them.

What to look for What should you check? Who is it important to?
Gluten-free label Read the current ‘gluten-free’ label and check for any cross-contamination warnings on the packaging. With coeliac disease, I don’t want to rely on the ingredients list alone. Around 46% of consumers make this their top priority.
Individually wrapped Check that each waffle has its own sealed wrapper; don’t assume this from terms such as ‘duo’, ‘snack pack’ or ‘2-pack’. When I’m out and about, I want to take a single portion without opening a whole pack. This is the top priority for around 36% of consumers.
Availability Check the exact variant and current availability at your supermarket shortly before buying. When I’m doing my usual food shop, I want to know whether I can pick up the gluten-free stroopwafel I’ve chosen. This matters most to around 18% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a duo or 2-pack means the waffles are individually wrapped

    A name like this may describe the number of items or the size of the outer pack. For example, Albert Heijn says its gluten-free 2-pack is supplied as separate items.

    Check the packaging or ask the manufacturer whether each waffle in the exact variant has its own wrapper.

  • Assuming a compact pack of stroopwafels is automatically gluten-free

    A snack pack or product photo doesn’t confirm that a product is labelled gluten-free. The Daelmans snack packs and duos shown by PLUS therefore can’t be considered suitable for coeliac disease based on their size alone.

    Check that the exact variant has a current gluten-free label before considering the packaging format.

  • Overlooking other allergens just because it says ‘gluten-free’

    A gluten-free label doesn’t tell you which other allergens a stroopwafel contains.

    Check the full allergen information for the variant you’re buying every time, especially if you also need to consider another food allergy.

Brands to consider

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists AH Glutenvrij Biologisch stroopwafels in a 240 g pack.

  • The product listing explicitly labels this variant gluten-free.
  • Check the current packaging to see whether the waffles are individually wrapped.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists Lekker Vrij van Gluten Stroop Wafels, 240 g, as gluten-free and displays the Crossed Grain mark.

  • The gluten-free label is shown alongside the exact product variant.
  • Check the inner packaging and other allergens on the current label.

PLUS

PLUS lists gluten-free stroopwafels in a 240 g bag.

  • The product listing explicitly describes these stroopwafels as gluten-free.
  • A 240 g bag doesn’t confirm that the waffles inside are individually wrapped.

Daelmans

PLUS’s range of stroopwafels includes Daelmans duos and snack packs.

  • These pack formats are a reason to check the inner packaging of the exact variant.
  • Don’t assume ‘duo’ or ‘snack pack’ means gluten-free; check the current packaging for a separate gluten-free label.

Lidl

Lidl describes an additional gluten-free range alongside its standard range.

  • Check whether a stroopwafel with an explicit gluten-free label is available when you shop.

ALDI

ALDI shows a pack of 12 regular stroopwafels weighing 378 g.

  • Don’t treat this listing as confirmation of a gluten-free variant; check the label on the product you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Is a stroopwafel suitable for someone with coeliac disease if wheat isn’t listed in the ingredients?

Don’t rely on the absence of wheat from the ingredients list alone. Choose a variant with a current, explicit gluten-free label and check for any cross-contamination warnings too; the Dutch Coeliac Society points out that such a warning is relevant when assessing the product.

Should I check for other allergens in gluten-free stroopwafels too?

Yes. Gluten-free doesn’t mean that a stroopwafel is free from other allergens. If you also need to consider another food allergy, read the full allergen information for the exact variant on the current packaging.
