A larger pack is practical if you’re sharing stroopwafels, while individual snack packs make it easier to plan a lunchbox treat. Neither type of packaging tells you anything about the fat content. So, before choosing an option that fits your own eating plan, compare the fat and saturated fat per 100 g and per portion.
If the amount of fat in your diet matters to you, the nutrition table is a better guide than the number of wafers in a pack. Compare the same quantity, preferably per 100 g, then check the portion you plan to eat.
You want to be able to plan a snack in advance. A pack with individual portions can be useful, as long as you also check how many pieces and how many grams each pack contains.
A larger pack can be practical for a household or when you have guests. The number of portions can help you share them out, but it doesn’t determine how much fat you actually eat at a time.
First, compare the nutritional values for the exact stroopwafel you’re considering. Then choose a pack that suits how you plan to share or take the wafers with you.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Fat and saturated fat | Compare both values per 100 g, then work them out for the portion you plan to eat. | If I’m watching my fat intake, I want to know how a regular stroopwafel fits into my eating plan. This is the main priority for around 50% of consumers. |
| Portions to take with you | Check the number of pieces in each pack and the weight of a portion; a multipack isn’t always divided into individual portions. | For my lunchbox, I want to be able to plan one snack without taking the whole pack with me. Around 30% of consumers prioritise portioning in this way. |
| Sharing and storage | Check the net weight, the number of portions and the storage instructions after opening. | If I’m buying for several people, I want to be able to share the wafers and store the rest properly. Sharing is the top priority for around 20% of consumers. |
More pieces or smaller individual packs don’t change the fat content per 100 g. The Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Kanjers stroopwafels reviewed list around 20.8 to 24.3 g of fat per 100 g.
First compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then consider how much you want to eat at each snack time.
According to Albert Heijn’s product information, both AH Stroopwafels and AH Terra Plantaardig stroopwafels contain 21 g of fat and 10 g of saturated fat per 100 g.
Don’t use the plant-based label as a substitute for comparing the nutrition tables of the exact variants.
The butter stroopwafels listed by Jumbo contain 21.0 g of fat, of which 14.0 g is saturated fat, per 100 g. So, if you’re also watching your saturated fat intake, the total fat figure alone isn’t enough.
Check the fat and ‘of which saturates’ figures on both packs, using the same 100 g basis each time.
Ingredients can vary between variants. If you need to avoid an allergen, the packaging of a product you bought before is no substitute for checking the current label.
When you buy, check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant.
The range includes regular stroopwafels and AH Terra Plantaardig stroopwafels.
Jumbo has its own butter stroopwafels in a 468 g pack with twelve listed portions.
Albert Heijn lists Daelmans stroopwafels in packs of two and four, among other options.
Jumbo lists Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels in a 4 × 2 pieces, 320 g pack.
These Kanjers packs are worth considering if you want to buy several stroopwafels for lunchboxes or to share. The number of pieces is shown in the product name; check the nutritional information on the packaging of your chosen variant to assess its fat content.

A pack of ten pieces for sharing stroopwafels across several snack times. If you’re packing them in a lunchbox, check whether the wafers are individually wrapped. To help manage your fat intake, compare the current values per 100 g and per portion you plan to eat.

A pack of eight pieces for planning portions or sharing stroopwafels. If it matters for your lunchbox, check whether the pieces are packed in pairs. To compare fat and saturated fat, use the nutritional information for this exact pack, not for another Kanjers variant.
The regular multipacks reviewed aren’t a low-fat choice based on their listed fat content. For the nutrition claim ‘low fat’ in solid foods, EUR-Lex lists a limit of no more than 3 g of fat per 100 g under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006; the stroopwafels reviewed list around 20.8 to 24.3 g per 100 g. Always check the nutrition table for a different variant.
Not necessarily. Albert Heijn lists 21 g of fat and 10 g of saturated fat per 100 g for both the AH Terra Plantaardig stroopwafels reviewed and the regular AH Stroopwafels. For other variants, compare the values on their own labels.
Individual packs are useful if you want to take a set number of stroopwafels with you. The Kanjers Originele pack listed by Jumbo contains 4 × 2 pieces; also check the weight of each individual pack and compare the nutritional values with the portion you plan to eat.
Yes. If you need to avoid an allergen, check the current label for the exact variant. Ingredients can vary between products, even when you know the brand; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the importance of allergen information on food labels.
