Who is this choice relevant to?

Hosting someone with coeliac disease

You want to choose syrup waffles with a current gluten-free label, check for other allergens and serve the gluten-free biscuits separately from ordinary snacks.

Planning to share syrup waffles

You’re looking for a pack to share on film night and want to know how many waffles it contains. Jumbo and PLUS both list a 240 g gluten-free pack; check the pack for the number of waffles.

Ordering your supermarket shopping

You want to be able to add a gluten-free option to your order and have a back-up plan in case it isn’t available from your shop or for your delivery slot.

What should you look for when choosing?

If the syrup waffles are for someone with coeliac disease, a current gluten-free label is essential. Then compare availability and pack size for your film night.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Gluten-free status and allergens Read the current gluten-free label and allergen information on the packaging. You can also look for the Crossed Grain symbol. If I’m putting out snacks for someone with coeliac disease, I want to be able to see that the syrup waffles are gluten-free and check whether they contain any other relevant allergens. Around 50% of consumers put this check first.
Availability Check whether you can add the gluten-free option to your delivery or collection order. Anyone ordering snacks with their regular shopping wants to be able to get the gluten-free syrup waffles in time. Being able to buy them easily is the top priority for around 30% of consumers.
Quantity and serving Check the pack weight and number of waffles; keep gluten-free and regular syrup waffles separate when serving. For a film night with several guests, I want to choose enough syrup waffles without mixing up the gluten-free biscuits with regular snacks. Around 20% of consumers prioritise this kind of planning.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a regular syrup waffle is gluten-free

    An ingredients list may include cereals containing gluten. For example, the Joybuy listing for G'woon Stroopwafels Boter Smaak includes wheat flour.

    For a guest with coeliac disease, choose a syrup waffle with a current gluten-free label and serve regular syrup waffles separately.

  • Relying on a previous order or product photo

    Albert Heijn and PLUS say that product ingredients and allergen information can change.

    Check the information again when ordering, and read the label on the pack you receive before serving.

  • Assuming ‘gluten-free’ means ‘free from all allergens’

    A gluten-free label alone doesn’t tell you whether the product contains other allergens that may be relevant to your guests.

    Read all the allergen information on the packaging, even if you’ve already chosen a gluten-free syrup waffle.

  • Assuming an old product listing guarantees you can order it

    For a Consenza syrup waffle, Jumbo says the product is no longer available. So a saved shopping list doesn’t confirm that you can order that pack.

    Check whether your chosen gluten-free product can be added to your current order. If it can’t, choose another clearly labelled gluten-free snack in good time.

    If you only discover this just before film night, you may need to make an extra trip to the shops or change your snack plans.

Frequently asked questions

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

Don’t rely on that alone: choose a syrup waffle with a current gluten-free label. Under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2014, this label may be used in the EU if the product contains no more than 20 mg/kg of gluten for the final consumer.

Do gluten-free syrup waffles need to carry the Crossed Grain symbol?

No. The symbol is an additional way to identify gluten-free products, alongside the legally regulated gluten-free label. The Dutch Coeliac Society describes Crossed Grain as an extra reassurance; Jumbo lists it on its Lekker Vrij van Gluten Stroop Wafels.

Should I read the label again if I’ve bought the same syrup waffles before?

Yes, read the label on the pack you receive. Albert Heijn and PLUS say that ingredients and allergen information can change. This also matters if a guest needs to avoid other allergens.

What if the gluten-free syrup waffles aren’t available for my order?

If you’re catering for someone with coeliac disease, don’t automatically substitute regular syrup waffles. Check whether you can order syrup waffles with a current gluten-free label from another shop, or choose another clearly labelled gluten-free snack for film night.
