Choose stroopwafels that are clearly labelled as individually wrapped if you want to take a single snack with you. A twin pack is handy if you want to eat or share two waffles at once. For several breaks, you could also look for a pack containing multiple twin packs. Check how many waffles each inner pack contains, and read the current label for ingredients, allergens and best-before information.
For a small snack on the go or during a break, a product clearly labelled as individually wrapped is a handy choice. Jumbo describes its mini stroopwafels as individually wrapped; this doesn’t tell you how other mini versions are packaged.
A twin pack is ideal for a break with someone else or a snack of two waffles. For example, PLUS lists a 78 g Daelmans twin pack.
If you’re stocking up on stroopwafels for home or the office, a pack containing individual twin packs could suit you. Jumbo sells Kanjers Original Stroopwafels in a 4 x 2 pack, so expect two waffles per portion rather than eight individually wrapped waffles.
First decide whether you want one waffle, two waffles or several individually packed snacks. Then check the inner packaging and the label, rather than just the number of waffles shown on the outer pack.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| One individual portion | Look for the words ‘individually wrapped’ and check the weight of each waffle. | I want to take one waffle with me without opening the rest of the pack; this individual portion would be the priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Sharing and stocking up | Check how many waffles are in each wrapper and how many wrappers are in the pack. | For a shared break or several snack moments, I want to know whether each wrapper contains two waffles. This pack format would be the main consideration for around 33% of consumers. |
| Product information | Check the current label for ingredients, allergens, best-before date and storage instructions. | If I need to check ingredients or allergens, I need up-to-date information before choosing a pack; this check would be the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
The total number of waffles doesn’t tell you how many are together in each inner pack. For example, Jumbo lists its mini stroopwafels as individually wrapped, while Kanjers Original Stroopwafels are sold in a 4 x 2 pack.
If you want to take one waffle at a time, look for clear information about the inner packaging.
A twin pack contains two waffles in one wrapper. That’s different from a stroopwafel wrapped on its own.
Choose the number of waffles per wrapper to suit your break or the number of people you want to share with.
Ingredients and product information can change. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label.
Read the packaging of the product you’re actually buying, especially if ingredients or allergens are important to your choice.
A product listing doesn’t guarantee that the same pack is available from your chosen retailer. Jumbo notes that its Stroopwafel 8 x 29 g is no longer available.
Check the retailer’s latest information before planning around a particular pack format.

Look for a clear statement such as ‘individually wrapped’. The number of waffles in the outer pack isn’t enough: Jumbo describes its mini stroopwafels as individually wrapped, while Kanjers Original Stroopwafels are sold in a 4 x 2 pack.
A twin pack contains two waffles in one wrapper, so it’s not the best choice if you’re looking for one individually wrapped waffle. For example, PLUS lists a 78 g Daelmans twin pack. If you choose an alternative, always check how many waffles are in each wrapper.
Check the current label on the stroopwafels you choose for allergen information. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says this information must appear on the label of prepacked products. The ingredients in one variant won’t necessarily be the same as those in another.
Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack you buy. Jumbo recommends keeping its mini stroopwafels in a cool, dry place; check the label for any other variant.
