Which pack is right for you?

Anyone handing them out at a group break

If you want everyone to pick up their own sealed stroopwafel, look for an explicit mention of individual wrappers. Daelmans lists packs in these sizes; a bag containing several waffles doesn’t confirm that they’re individually wrapped.

Small breaks for two

If two waffles per pack is enough, a 2-pack could be a good fit for your coffee break. Check the inner packaging if everyone needs their own sealed waffle.

Shoppers checking allergens

If you’re buying for someone with dietary requirements or allergies, compare the ingredients and warnings on the current label. Ingredients and allergens vary by product.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether everyone needs their own wrapper. Then compare the quantities and check the label before buying for guests with dietary requirements or allergies.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
An individual wrapper for everyone Look for an explicit statement that each waffle is individually wrapped, and compare the number of wrappers with the number of people. If I want to give everyone a sealed waffle, a shared pack isn’t enough. An estimated 42% of consumers prioritise individually wrapped portions for handing out.
Dietary requirements and allergens Check the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings about possible cross-contamination on the current pack. When I’m buying for someone with an allergy or dietary requirement, I want to know first whether the specific product is suitable. For around 33% of consumers, this is their first priority.
Quantity for the break Compare the number of waffles and the type of pack with the group size and the number of coffee breaks planned. For a small break, I don’t want to buy a larger pack than I need, provided it has the wrappers I’m looking for. Around 25% of consumers put choosing the right quantity first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a 2-pack means two individually wrapped waffles

    Two waffles in a pack doesn’t mean they’re both individually sealed. This matters if every guest needs their own wrapper.

    Check whether the pack explicitly says that the waffles are individually wrapped. Don’t assume a 2-pack or duo contains two individually wrapped portions.

  • Assuming every brand has the same allergens

    The Kanjers variety described by Jumbo contains, among other things, cereals containing gluten, milk, soya and egg. Jumbo also says the product may contain nuts. This doesn’t tell you anything about the ingredients of another variety.

    Check the label every time you buy, including any warnings about possible cross-contamination.

  • Choosing a large pack without counting the people

    Daelmans lists individually wrapped packs ranging from 24 to 200 waffles. A larger quantity isn’t automatically right for a small coffee break.

    Count the people and consider any upcoming coffee breaks before choosing a size that meets your requirements for individually wrapped waffles.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

A good option if you’re specifically looking for stroopwafels that are individually wrapped.

  • Daelmans lists individually wrapped packs of 24, 36, 150 and 200 waffles.
  • Check which pack sizes are available and read the label for the variety you choose.

AH

Worth considering if you’re comparing 2-packs in the Albert Heijn range.

  • Albert Heijn lists a butter caramel 2-pack and a product called AH Gluten-Free Organic Stroopwafels 2-pack.
  • The term 2-pack doesn’t confirm that each waffle has its own wrapper. Check the pack for other allergens too.

Kanjers

Worth considering if packs containing several portions of two waffles suit your break.

  • Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels in a pack of 4 × 2 waffles.
  • This pack size doesn’t confirm that the waffles are individually wrapped. Jumbo also lists several allergens for this variety and warns that it may contain nuts.

Biscotto

Worth considering if you’re looking at mini stroopwafels in a bag and individual wrappers aren’t essential.

  • ALDI Netherlands lists Biscotto Mini stroopwafels in a 300 g pack.
  • Check the pack itself if you need individual wrappers; the listed bag size doesn’t confirm that they’re included.

Frequently asked questions

Are two stroopwafels in a 2-pack individually wrapped?

The term 2-pack doesn’t tell you that. If you need individual wrappers for your coffee break, look for an explicit statement on the pack that each waffle has its own wrapper.

Which allergens should I check in stroopwafels?

This varies by product. For Kanjers Original Stroopwafels, Jumbo lists cereals containing gluten, milk, soya and egg, among other things, as well as possible traces of nuts. So check the ingredients and warnings on the current pack of the variety you’re buying.

Is online ingredient information enough if someone has an allergy?

Use online information to compare products, but check the label on the pack you’ve bought before serving. Ingredients and allergen information can vary between products and recipes.

What does ‘may contain nuts’ mean on a pack?

This warning indicates the possible presence of nuts due to cross-contamination, rather than nuts being added as an ingredient. If you’re buying for someone with a nut allergy, take the warning on the current pack into account when choosing.
