Who is this for?

Organisers of busy coffee breaks

You want to be able to put one sealed stroopwafel out for each attendee, without using open platters or portioning them on site. So check how many individually wrapped biscuits are in each box.

Buyers looking for a smaller coffee-break treat

A mini stroopwafel can be a good fit for a short break or a goody bag. Daelmans and Jumbo describe mini versions that are individually wrapped; check that this applies to the specific version you order.

Caterers who need label information

You’ll want to check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the packaging supplied before serving. PLUS lists wheat, milk and soya among the ingredients in a Daelmans mini; check the details for your chosen product separately.

What should you look for?

First, decide what size portion is right for the break. Then check the individual packaging, the quantity you need and the label for your chosen version.

What to consider What to check when buying Who is this most important for?
Individually wrapped Check that each waffle has its own sealed wrapper; a sharing bag or a twin pack is not the same thing. I want to give every guest one sealed waffle without portioning them on site. For around 31% of consumers, being able to hand them out individually is the top priority.
Portion size and quantity Compare the size and the number of individually wrapped waffles per box with your guest list. For a short coffee break, I want a different portion from the one I’d choose if the biscuit needs to be a more substantial snack, and I want to have enough ready to hand out. Around 25% of consumers prioritise getting this right.
Label information Read the ingredients, allergens, best-before date and storage instructions on the packaging supplied. I need to be able to tell the catering team what’s in the stroopwafels being served. For around 25% of consumers, checking the current label is their main concern.
Delivery planning Confirm the box contents, availability and delivery date for when you plan to hand them out. I want to be able to rely on the agreed number of individually wrapped waffles arriving on time. Delivery planning is the top priority for around 19% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a sharing bag for individual wrappers

    A bag containing lots of waffles doesn’t mean each one is individually wrapped. If they aren’t, you’ll need to portion them on site or choose a different version.

    Look for an explicit statement on the current product packaging that each waffle is individually wrapped, and check how many sealed packs there are.

  • Counting twin packs as individually wrapped waffles

    Albert Heijn described a Daelmans counter display containing 18 packs of two waffles each: that’s 18 sealed packs, not 36 individually wrapped waffles.

    When ordering, count both the waffles and the individual packs. If you want to give each guest one sealed waffle, you’ll need single packs.

  • Relying on an old allergen list

    The ingredients in the version being served must match the information you give guests. A product page you looked at earlier is no substitute for checking the label on the product you receive.

    Check the packaging supplied and make sure the catering team can access the current allergen information.

  • Ordering based on an earlier listing

    A size you chose previously may not be available to order for the date of your conference. This could affect how many portions you plan to hand out.

    Before ordering, confirm the version, box contents and delivery date with the supplier.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

Daelmans describes mini, midi and regular stroopwafels that are available individually wrapped, including in multi-packs.

  • The range of sizes lets you choose a small coffee-break treat or a larger biscuit.
  • Check the number of individual packs and the current label for the box you choose. Daelmans itself suggests using them at events.

Jumbo

Jumbo described its own mini stroopwafels, 18 x 8 g, as individually wrapped.

  • The stated portion size and packaging make it easier to compare mini versions.
  • Check that this exact version is available to order if you want to use it at an event.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn described a Daelmans counter display containing 18 twin packs.

  • The contents make it clear how the number of waffles differs from the number of sealed packs.
  • A twin pack isn’t suitable if every guest needs exactly one individually wrapped waffle.

PLUS

PLUS lists a sharing bag containing 25 Daelmans mini stroopwafels, along with ingredient and allergen information.

  • The product information is useful for an initial check of ingredients and allergens.
  • Before choosing this version to hand out to guests, check whether each mini has its own wrapper.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use twin packs if I want to give each guest one wrapped waffle?

No. A twin pack contains two waffles in one sealed wrapper. For this way of serving, choose a version labelled as individually wrapped.

Which allergens should I check in stroopwafels for a conference?

Check all allergens on the packaging actually supplied. PLUS lists wheat, milk and soya for a Daelmans mini; don’t assume the same applies to other brands or versions.

How should I store the stroopwafels until the coffee break?

Follow the storage advice and best-before date on the packaging you receive. The product versions reviewed were described as needing to be stored in a cool, dry place; check whether this also applies to your order.

What label information should I check before serving?

At the very least, check the ingredients, allergens, best-before date and storage instructions on the packaging supplied. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority sets out labelling requirements for prepacked foods; consult its handbook if you need to establish which requirements apply to your catering business.
