Choose individually wrapped mini stroopwafels if you want to give each visitor one small, sealed portion: Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 x 8 g, as individually wrapped. If you want to hand out two waffles at a time, Kanjers Original is a better fit, with four twin packs; a share bag calls for a different way of portioning. Before placing an order, check the packaging, best-before date, ingredients and allergens on the label of the variant you have chosen.
If you’re handing them out at different locations, you’ll want to give each visitor a small waffle without having to open a multipack first. Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 x 8 g, as individually wrapped; check that the portion size suits your distribution plan.
If you plan to hand out two waffles at a time, Kanjers Original comes in a pack of eight waffles, split into four twin packs, according to the manufacturer. Don’t plan this as eight individually wrapped portions.
If you’re handing out stroopwafels, you need to have the information for the exact variant you’ve chosen to hand out. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked products is shown on the label. Make sure visitors can access it.
Choose these if: you want to hand each visitor one small, sealed waffle; Jumbo states that its Mini Stroopwafeltjes are individually wrapped.
Consider: each Jumbo mini weighs 8 g, and every individual wrapper will need to be disposed of after handing it out.
Choose these if: two waffles make up one portion; Kanjers states that Original contains eight waffles in four packs of two.
Consider: an unopened twin pack isn’t an individual pack for one waffle.
Choose this if: your team will portion them out, or visitors will help themselves from a shared supply. PLUS describes Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels as a share bag of 25; Jumbo lists a Rioba pack of 150 minis.
Consider: check the inner packaging if individually sealed waffles are essential; the number of waffles alone won’t tell you how they’re packed.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Most relevant to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check that the chosen variant is explicitly labelled as individually wrapped; a mini size doesn’t prove that it is. | I want to hand out one sealed waffle at different locations without opening a share bag; this is the main consideration for around 42% of consumers choosing stroopwafels for a festival. |
| Allergen information | Use the current label for the chosen variant to check its ingredients and allergens. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked products is shown on the label. | I need to show visitors which allergens are in the variant being handed out; this is the top priority for around 33% of these consumers. |
| Quantity and stock | Compare the number of waffles with the number of portions you’re planning and check the inner packaging and best-before date. | When there are lots of distribution points, I want to plan enough portions without mistakenly counting a bulk pack as individually wrapped portions; around 25% of consumers prioritise stock management. |
The size tells you nothing about the inner packaging. Jumbo says its Mini Stroopwafeltjes are individually wrapped, while PLUS describes Daelmans minis as a share bag.
Check the packaging or an explicit product description before planning to hand out a mini variant as one sealed portion.
According to the manufacturer, Kanjers Original contains four packs of two waffles. So eight waffles make up four unopened twin packs.
Plan how you’ll hand them out based on the packaged portion, not just the total number of waffles.
The ingredients and allergens must match the stroopwafels you’re actually handing out. A label for a different size or an earlier purchase isn’t a substitute.
Keep a record of the current label when ordering and make sure it’s linked to the variant and batch being handed out at the festival.
Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 x 8 g, as individually wrapped. This makes them a relevant choice when the planned portion is one small, sealed waffle.
Kanjers says that Original comes in a pack of eight stroopwafels, split into four packs of two, making it suitable for planned twin portions.
PLUS describes Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels as a share bag of 25. Albert Heijn also lists a Jumbo Duo pack of 18 x 2.
These Kanjers packs suit two different plans: ten waffles, for which you’ll need to check the inner packaging before ordering, and Kanjers Original if you specifically want to offer twin portions.

Consider this pack if you want to buy ten stroopwafels. Before planning to hand one sealed waffle to each visitor, check the packaging to see whether they’re individually wrapped.

Worth considering when two waffles make up one portion: Kanjers says that the Original variant contains eight waffles in four packs of two.
So an unopened pack doesn’t contain individual portions of one waffle. Before handing them out, check the best-before date, ingredients and allergens on the label for the batch you’ve bought.
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked products is shown on the label. Use the label for the variant you’re actually handing out and make sure visitors can access the information.
Kanjers lists wheat, milk and soya in the ingredients for Original, and says that traces of nuts may be present. Check the label on the batch you’ve bought; don’t apply this information to another Kanjers variant.
Follow the storage advice and best-before date on the label of the pack you’ve chosen. The product information for Jumbo Mini Stroopwafeltjes and Daelmans Mini Stroopwafels says to store them in a cool, dry place.
