Who are the different types of packaging for?

For anyone wanting to take or share organic waffles

If you want to take waffles with you or share them individually, look for both a verifiable organic claim and the explicit wording ‘individually wrapped’. Bol.com describes the Daelmans Bio Honing pack as organic and individually wrapped, but lists it as unavailable.

For anyone looking for a shared pack to enjoy at home

When you’re having coffee or tea at home, individual wrappers may not be necessary. Albert Heijn lists AH Biologisch Honing stroopwafels in 29 g portions and recommends sealing the pack carefully after use. A portion size doesn’t mean the waffles are individually wrapped.

For anyone also looking for a gluten-free option

Check the dietary claim as well as the full allergen list for your chosen product. Albert Heijn labels AH Glutenvrij Biologisch stroopwafels as gluten-free and lactose-free; according to the product information, they do contain egg and lupin.

What should you look for when choosing?

For organic syrup waffles, first check the label, then choose the type of packaging and ingredients to suit how you’ll use them. Individual wrapping alone says nothing about whether the waffles are organic or what allergens they contain.

What to look for What to check when buying Who it matters most to
Verifiable organic claim Check the EU organic logo, the control body’s code number and the origin statement on the label. If I’m buying organic syrup waffles specifically, I want to be able to check the claim on the packaging. Around 50% of consumers say this is their top priority.
Individually wrapped Look for the explicit wording ‘individually wrapped’; a portion count isn’t enough. For taking them with me or sharing them, I want to be able to take each waffle without opening a shared pack. This is the main priority for around 20% of consumers.
Dietary requirements and allergens Check for the required dietary claim and read the allergen declaration for that exact product. If I have a specific dietary requirement as well as wanting an organic product, my choice needs to meet it, and I want to know which allergens it contains. Around 30% of consumers say this is their top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a natural look for an organic claim

    Green packaging or the word ‘natural’ is no substitute for checking the organic labelling. According to Skal Biocontrole, the EU organic logo is compulsory for prepacked foods produced in the EU and sold as organic.

    Also check the control body’s code number and the origin statement on the label.

  • Mistaking portions for individually wrapped waffles

    A pack containing several portions may still be a shared pack. This matters if you want to take the waffles with you or share them individually.

    Check that it explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’.

  • Assuming organic or gluten-free means allergen-free

    According to Albert Heijn, AH Biologisch Honing stroopwafels contain milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and wheat, among other ingredients. The organic gluten-free AH option contains egg and lupin.

    Read the allergen declaration for the exact product, and check it again on the packaging if the product changes.

  • Assuming an old product listing is a current buying option

    Bol.com lists Daelmans Bio Honing 20 x 1 as unavailable. A documented type of packaging doesn’t mean you can still order it.

    Check availability shortly before buying, and compare the full product name and packaging details if you’re considering an alternative.

Brands to consider

AH Biologisch

Albert Heijn describes organic honey syrup waffles and a separate organic gluten-free option.

  • Albert Heijn’s product information lists the EU organic logo and NL-BIO-01 for the honey variety.
  • A portion listing doesn’t confirm that each waffle is individually wrapped. Ingredients and allergens also vary between products.

Daelmans

The Daelmans Bio Honing 20 x 1 listing combines an organic claim with individually wrapped waffles.

  • Bol.com describes this specific pack as containing 20 individually wrapped syrup waffles, each weighing 29 g.
  • Bol.com lists this pack as unavailable. If you find it elsewhere, check the exact product and allergens again.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists an organic syrup waffle product and a separate listing for regular syrup waffles in an 8 x 29 g pack.

  • The organic product listing mentions the EU organic logo and NL-BIO-01.
  • Jumbo lists both of these products as no longer available in its online range. The ‘8 x 29 g’ description of the regular product doesn’t mean it’s organic or individually wrapped.

Smaakt

The Smaakt Bio honey syrup waffles described by Jumbo carry an organic claim.

  • Jumbo lists organic ingredients, NL-BIO-01 and wheat as an allergen for this product.
  • Jumbo lists the product as no longer available in its online range. The listing doesn’t confirm that the waffles are individually wrapped.

Frequently asked questions

How can I recognise an organic syrup waffle?

Check the organic claim on the packaging, including the EU organic logo, the control body’s code number and the origin statement. According to Skal Biocontrole, the EU organic logo is compulsory for prepacked foods produced in the EU and sold as organic; the Dutch government describes ‘organic’ as a protected term.

Does ‘10 portions’ mean the syrup waffles are individually wrapped?

No. A portion listing doesn’t tell you how the waffles are wrapped. Look for the explicit wording ‘individually wrapped’, as in the Daelmans Bio Honing pack described by bol.com.

How should I store an opened pack of organic syrup waffles?

Follow the storage instructions on your chosen pack. For AH Biologisch Honing stroopwafels, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a cool, dark, dry place and sealing the pack carefully after use.

Are organic syrup waffles also gluten-free or allergen-free?

No. An organic claim doesn’t tell you whether a product is gluten-free or free from allergens. According to Albert Heijn, AH Biologisch Honing stroopwafels contain milk, cereals containing gluten, soya and wheat, among other ingredients. The AH Glutenvrij Biologisch option is labelled gluten-free and lactose-free, but contains egg and lupin. So always read the allergen declaration for the exact product.
