Families and people sharing
If several people are sharing a pack, the number of waffles and the total weight will determine how much you need to order. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS offer packs in different sizes and weights.
Who are the different pack sizes for?
Lunchbox and on-the-go shoppers
If you want to portion out waffles in advance for a break or lunchbox, check how they’re packed. PLUS specifically promotes the Daelmans Duopack for taking with you; a bag of mini waffles doesn’t necessarily contain individual portions.
Shoppers with ingredient or allergen requirements
Before ordering, check the information for the variant you’ve chosen and read the label when it arrives. The regular Daelmans variants we reviewed list wheat, milk and soya; a gluten-free Jumbo variant we reviewed lists different allergens.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to share the stroopwafels, take them with you or choose based on ingredients. Then compare the number of waffles, the weight and the information on the pack you actually plan to order.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How much there is to share | Check both the number of waffles and the total weight; the same number of waffles doesn’t always mean the same weight. | If several people at home are sharing a pack, I want to know whether it’ll be enough for the occasions we have in mind. For around 40% of consumers, having enough to share or stock up on is the top priority. |
| Portions to take with you | Check whether the description mentions a duo portion or individual packaging; the number of waffles alone doesn’t tell you how they’re packed. | For a lunchbox, I want to be able to take a small portion without opening a whole bag. Having pre-portioned snacks to take with you is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Size and nutritional information | Compare the weight and number of waffles separately. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing nutritional values per 100 g. | When packs come in different weights, I want to be able to compare their nutritional information on the same basis. Comparability is the top priority for an estimated 20% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the information for the exact variant and check the label when it arrives; gluten-free doesn’t mean free from other allergens. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, I need to know what’s in the stroopwafels I’ve chosen. For around 10% of consumers, checking this is the top priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Comparing only the number of waffles
A pack with more waffles isn’t necessarily heavier: the waffles themselves may also be smaller. For example, the Albert Heijn pack we reviewed contains eight waffles and weighs 310 g, while other packs we reviewed weigh around 468–480 g.
Check both the number of waffles and the total weight. Compare the nutritional values of different packs per 100 g, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
-
Assuming a multipack contains individual lunchbox portions
A pack of eight or twelve waffles doesn’t tell you whether they’re wrapped individually, in pairs or together in one bag. A bag of mini stroopwafels isn’t automatically made up of separate portions to take with you, either.
Check how the pack is arranged in the product description if you want to portion out the waffles into lunchboxes in advance.
-
Confusing gluten-free with allergen-free
According to the product information, the Jumbo Lekker Vrij van Gluten Syrup Wafers we reviewed contain egg and lupin, and may contain nuts and sesame. So the gluten-free label says nothing about these other ingredients.
Read the allergen information for the exact variant before buying, and check the latest label when it arrives.
-
Assuming a store listing means you can get it delivered
Lidl lists the Sondey Butter Stroopwafels we reviewed as available in store only. The ALDI product page we reviewed also directs shoppers to visit a store.
When shopping online, check whether you can add the product you want to your order and whether delivery or collection is available.

Frequently asked questions
Which stroopwafel multipack is suitable for a lunchbox?
Choose a pack whose description clearly explains how the portions are divided. PLUS presents the Daelmans Duopack of 8 as suitable for lunch breaks and travel, among other occasions; a bag of mini stroopwafels isn’t necessarily individually wrapped.
How do I compare a pack of eight waffles with a larger bag?
Check the total weight as well as the number of waffles, and compare nutritional values per 100 g. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends using this consistent measure when comparing labels; the number of waffles then helps you decide which pack size suits your needs.
How should I store stroopwafels after delivery?
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you receive. The product information we reviewed from Albert Heijn, PLUS and Daelmans says to store them in a cool, dry, dark place; Albert Heijn also advises closing the pack securely after use.
Are standard stroopwafels gluten-free?
Don’t assume they are: the regular variants we reviewed list wheat or gluten. Jumbo lists a clearly labelled gluten-free option, but it contains egg and lupin and may contain nuts and sesame. Always check the label for the exact product.
Where can I find allergen information for pre-packed stroopwafels?
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label. Use the product information when ordering and check the label on the pack you receive.
