If you want a stroopwafel with a specific sugar reduction for festival camping, AH Roomboter minder suiker stroopwafels is one product worth comparing: Albert Heijn states that it contains 32% less sugar than its regular butter stroopwafels, with 23 g of sugars per 100 g. Céréal’s stated reduction of 65% uses a different comparison, and Albert Heijn’s listing was marked ‘discontinued’. So check availability, the current label and storage instructions before making your choice.
You want to take stroopwafels with you and look at the amount of sugars per 100 g or per portion, as well as any claim about reduced sugar. That way, you can compare Albert Heijn’s claim with the nutritional information on another pack.
First, you check whether the ingredients and allergen information suit your dietary needs. A claim about reduced sugar says nothing about whether the product contains ingredients such as wheat, milk or soya.
You want to know how many wafers or portions to bring and how to store the pack once opened. The number of pieces, packaging and storage instructions are all useful to check before you set off.
First, check whether allergens or other essential dietary requirements rule out a product. For suitable stroopwafels, compare the sugars per 100 g and consider how you’ll store the pack at the campsite.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Especially relevant for |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar comparison | Check what a reduction claim is compared with and look at the sugars per 100 g. Albert Heijn states that its lower-sugar version contains 23 g per 100 g. | If I want to choose a lower-sugar option, I want to compare the actual amount as well as the claim. For around 50% of consumers, this sugar comparison comes first. |
| Allergens and dietary requirements | Read the current allergen information. Check any gluten-free claim separately from the sugar content. | If I have an allergy, I first want to know whether I can eat the stroopwafel, even if the pack says it contains less sugar. For around 30% of consumers, dietary suitability comes first. |
| Sharing and storage | Check the number of pieces or portion size, and follow the storage instructions, including after opening. | For a group, I want to be able to share the wafers and store the opened pack somewhere dry. For around 20% of consumers, practical camping supplies are the top priority. |
