Which pack is right for you?

Stocking up the biscuit tin

Want to get several morning breaks’ worth from one pack at home or at work? Check the net weight and number of waffles to see whether the pack suits how you’ll use it.

Sharing smaller waffles

If several people will be dipping into the same bag, mini stroopwafels can be a practical choice. Waffles wrapped in pairs offer another convenient way to take portions with you.

Checking the label

If you have dietary restrictions or are comparing nutritional values, the ingredients, allergens and nutrition information on the pack are what matter. Check the full label, even on products with a specific claim.

What should you look for?

Before choosing stroopwafels for your morning breaks, decide whether you’re mainly looking to stock up, share smaller portions or find a pack that suits your dietary requirements. Then compare the details on the packaging. The points below are for anyone considering a pack of stroopwafels for several snack occasions.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the number of pieces tells you the net weight

    The piece count alone won’t tell you how many grams you’re getting in a pack of ten large waffles or a bag of minis. That difference matters if you want the pack to last for several snack occasions.

    Check both the number of waffles and the net weight, and think about how often you’ll be reaching into the pack.

  • Assuming minis have different nutritional values

    A smaller waffle can make it easier to take a smaller portion, but its size doesn’t tell you how much sugar or fat the product contains per 100 g.

    Compare the nutrition information per 100 g and, if available, per portion.

  • Guessing allergens from the product name

    The regular Jumbo and Daelmans products reviewed list ingredients including wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk and soya. The name or image on the front won’t give you all the information you need.

    If you have dietary restrictions, read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging, even when choosing a product with a specific claim.

  • Assuming a listed product is in stock

    A pack shown as an option may not be available when you order or at your local shop.

    Check availability and delivery options before counting on a particular pack.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare a family pack with a bag of mini stroopwafels?

Compare the net weight, number of waffles and nutrition information per 100 g and per portion. A higher piece count doesn’t automatically mean more product; minis are simply another way to share out the waffles.

Do mini stroopwafels offer a different nutritional choice because of their size?

Size alone doesn’t tell you the nutritional values per 100 g. Read the table on the packaging if you want to compare sugar, fat or other nutritional values across products.

Which allergens should I check in stroopwafels?

Check the allergen information for the specific pack: the regular products reviewed list ingredients including wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk and soya. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products.

How should I store an opened pack of stroopwafels?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging and reseal an opened pack securely. The product information for the Jumbo and Daelmans products reviewed says to store them in a cool, dry place.

Are stroopwafels suitable for every morning break?

A stroopwafel is a sweet snack, not something to assume is an everyday choice just because it’s a snack-sized treat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that many snacks are high in sugar or saturated fat, so check the nutrition information when comparing stroopwafels with other options.
