Who are these options for?

Shopper following a strict gluten-free diet

You’re looking for a syrup waffle to take with you and, because of coeliac disease or another strict gluten-free requirement, don’t want to rely on the product name alone.

Shopper who buys everything from one supermarket

You want to order or pick up your syrup waffles with the rest of your shopping, without placing a separate order through another webshop.

Shopper with other ingredient requirements

As well as a gluten-free claim, you want clear information about ingredients such as lactose, egg or lupin before choosing a product.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, check that the syrup waffle is explicitly labelled gluten-free, then read the information about other allergens. After that, the shopping option, packaging and nutritional information can help you decide what’s right for a quick bite.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Gluten-free claim and allergens Check the gluten-free claim, ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging. If I need to choose a strictly gluten-free product, I don’t want to assume that an ordinary syrup waffle is suitable. If I have other allergies, I also read the full allergen information. For around 50% of shoppers, this check is the top priority.
Availability with your usual shopping Check whether the product is available to order or collect from your store; a product listing doesn’t guarantee local availability. I want to pick up the syrup waffles with the rest of my shopping, rather than rely on an old product listing. Around 30% of shoppers prioritise this convenient way to shop.
Packaging and nutritional information Check the pack size and compare the nutritional values per 100 g or, if shown, per serving. For a quick bite, I want to know how many waffles I’m buying and how they fit into my breakfast. Around 20% of shoppers give this the highest priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming an ordinary syrup waffle is gluten-free

    The name ‘syrup waffle’ doesn’t, by itself, mean that a product is labelled gluten-free. The ALDI syrup waffles described here aren’t labelled gluten-free.

    If you need a strictly gluten-free option, first look for an explicit claim in the current product information, then check it again on the packaging.

  • Overlooking other allergens

    Gluten-free doesn’t mean free from all allergens. Jumbo and PLUS list egg and lupin in their gluten-free syrup waffles; Jumbo also states that they may contain nuts and sesame.

    If you need to avoid ingredients other than gluten, read the full allergen information on the packaging.

  • Taking an old product listing as confirmation of stock

    Albert Heijn shows the gluten-free syrup waffles mentioned here as no longer part of its range. Jumbo says the Consenza version described is no longer available online.

    Check whether the product can be ordered from your store before relying on a particular pack, and have another way of shopping in mind if needed.

  • Thinking of a syrup waffle as a complete breakfast

    A gluten-free claim tells you about the presence of gluten, not the product’s overall nutritional value or the make-up of your breakfast.

    Check the nutritional information and serving size on the packaging, then decide separately what else you want to eat for breakfast.

Frequently asked questions

If I have coeliac disease, can I choose any syrup waffle that doesn’t contain wheat?

No. Don’t rely solely on the absence of wheat in the ingredients list. Check that the current packaging explicitly labels the syrup waffle gluten-free, and read the other ingredients and allergen information too.

Does gluten-free also mean lactose-free or free from other allergens?

No, these qualities don’t automatically go together. Daelmans says its specific gluten-free syrup waffle range is also lactose-free; Jumbo and PLUS, on the other hand, list egg and lupin in their gluten-free versions mentioned here. Always check the packaging of the product you choose.

Is a gluten-free syrup waffle a complete breakfast on its own?

A gluten-free claim doesn’t tell you how complete your breakfast is. Use the nutritional information and serving size on the packaging to decide how the syrup waffle fits into your meal.

Why should I check the packaging again when I buy it next time?

Ingredients and allergen information can change. PLUS points this out in its product information, so check the physical packaging again when you next buy the product, even if you’ve chosen the same product name before.
