Families who regularly top up the biscuit tin
If several people in your household eat stroopwafels, check how many waffles and how many grams are in a pack. A large pack is best suited to households that will finish it after opening.
Which pack is practical for you?
Households that share or take waffles with them
If you eat or take waffles with you at different times, a pack in smaller portions may be more convenient than one large pack.
Shoppers who need to check ingredients
If you have an allergy or need to avoid certain ingredients, the label on the exact variety is what matters. The product listings reviewed mention wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients; recipes can vary from one product to another.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide how many waffles you want to keep and whether you’ll eat them together at home or take them with you individually. Then check the packaging, label and storage instructions.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and how quickly you’ll eat them | Compare the net weight and number of waffles with how much your household usually gets through. | If the biscuit tin is often empty, I want a pack that lasts long enough without leaving too much in stock. Around 25% of consumers prioritise finding the right pack size. |
| Portions and packaging | Check whether the waffles come in one pack, in pairs or individually wrapped. | If we eat them at different times, I want to be able to portion out or take waffles with me without opening the whole pack. For around 25% of consumers, being able to share them out is the main consideration. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warning about possible traces on the exact pack. | If someone needs to avoid certain ingredients, I don’t want to rely on the product name alone. Ingredients and allergens are a priority for around 25% of consumers. |
| Storage after opening | Check the storage advice and consider whether you can keep the remaining waffles in an airtight container. | If a pack will be in the cupboard for a while, I want to stop opened waffles from drying out. Around 25% of consumers give storing their food the highest priority. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘made with butter’ tells you everything about the ingredients
The name doesn’t tell you which other ingredients or allergens a stroopwafel contains. The butter varieties reviewed also list wheat and soya, as well as milk.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, even if you’ve bought a product from the same brand before.
-
Opening a large pack without a way to store the rest
A large pack is less practical if the waffles will be left open for a long time. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre highlights drying out and mould as things to watch out for when storing food.
Choose an amount that suits how quickly you’ll eat them, and seal the rest well after opening. Store stroopwafels in a cool, dry, dark place.
Waffles that dry out may end up going uneaten.
-
Relying on an old product description
Ingredients and product information can change. PLUS and Albert Heijn note that the current information for a product may differ from an earlier listing.
Check the latest product details when you buy, and read the label on the pack you receive before eating it.
