If you want to pack or hand out one biscuit per child, individually wrapped mini syrup waffles are a practical choice. A sharing bag works better if you’re happy to divide it into portions yourself. The small size doesn’t, in itself, tell you anything about the nutritional value: decide how many to pack and check the ingredients and allergens on the label of the product you buy.
A pre-set portion is handy if a child is taking something in themselves or each child is getting one biscuit. Jumbo lists a variety of individually wrapped mini syrup waffles weighing 8 g each. Also check the school’s rules and any allergies.
A bag of mini syrup waffles can be shared across several occasions. Set out the amount you want in advance: the number of biscuits in the bag doesn’t determine how many are eaten at a time.
If you have an allergy, intolerance or specific dietary requirements, the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values of the exact variety matter. So read the information on the packaging you buy, even if you’ve had the product before.
First, decide whether the syrup waffles need to be individually wrapped or whether you can divide them into portions at home. Then check the amount per portion and the label on the pack you choose.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|

| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the allergen information for the exact variety and compare the nutritional values per portion and per 100 g. | If I have an allergy or specific dietary requirements, I want to know what’s in the product I’m buying; around 25% of consumers prioritise this check. |
| Quantity to share | Check the net weight and, if listed, the number of biscuits. | If I’m sharing them on several occasions, I want to know how many mini waffles are in the pack; this matters most to around 19% of consumers. |
Small biscuits make it possible to choose a small amount, but their size doesn’t determine how many someone eats. Nor does it, in itself, tell you anything about their nutritional value.
Decide in advance how many mini syrup waffles to pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists vegetables and fruit as snack options for children, so don’t judge a sweet biscuit by its size alone.
A bag or multipack with lots of mini syrup waffles is different from a pack in which each biscuit is wrapped separately. If you want to give one biscuit to each child, you’ll need to divide them up yourself.
Choose an individually wrapped variety if that makes handing them out easier, or prepare portions from a sharing bag in advance.
You may need separate tubs or bags for individual portions from a multipack.
The allergens listed vary between specific varieties. For the mini syrup waffles they describe, Jumbo and PLUS list ingredients including wheat or gluten, milk and soya; information about another product is no substitute.
