Which pack works best for you?

For stocking the biscuit tin

For your household, visitors or a sharing platter, the net weight and number of large waffles matter more than the size of the bag alone. Jumbo, Albert Heijn and Lidl, for example, list packs of 12 or packs by portion.

For handing out at a festival

If people will be taking something at different times, mini stroopwafels or individually portioned pairs may suit your serving plan better. PLUS lists a stand-up pouch of 25 Daelmans minis; Jumbo also describes a Kanjers pack containing four packs of two waffles.

For checking allergens

If you’re buying for someone with an allergy, check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack. Product information from Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS, among others, lists wheat or cereals containing gluten, milk and sometimes soya for certain varieties. The information differs by product.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether the stroopwafels are for a shared tin or to hand out individually. Then compare the pack size and packaging, and check the label on the variety you’ve chosen.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Quantity for your group Compare the net weight and the number of waffles or portions; large waffles and minis aren’t the same size. If I’m filling the biscuit tin for visitors, I want to know how many large waffles I can put out. Having enough in the pack would be the top concern for around 42% of consumers.
Easy to hand out Check whether the pack contains minis, individually portioned pairs or waffles in one bag, and count the total number of pieces. At a festival, I want to be able to hand out waffles at different times without having to use a large bag as the only option. Easy sharing would come first for around 33% of consumers.
Allergens and storage Read the ingredients, allergen information, any ‘may contain’ warning and storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. If I’m buying for someone who needs to avoid allergens, I want to check the exact variety and know how to store it. Checking the label would be the main concern for around 25% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large bag contains individually wrapped portions

    A bag of 12 large waffles can be handy for a biscuit tin, but that doesn’t mean they’re individually wrapped. This matters if you want to hand them out while you’re out and about.

    Before comparing weights, decide whether you need whole waffles, minis or individually portioned pairs.

  • Assuming all stroopwafels have the same allergens

    Listed allergens and possible traces differ between varieties. For example, Jumbo warns that a Kanjers multipack may contain nuts, while other packs have different warnings.

    Read the ingredients and any ‘may contain’ warning for the exact flavour and pack size you’re buying.

  • Relying only on an online product description

    A description can help you compare different types of packaging, but the label on the pack is what matters for the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions for the waffles you’re handing out.

    Check the label when you buy, and again before putting the stroopwafels out for others.

Frequently asked questions

Should I check allergens when buying stroopwafels for a group?

Yes. Check the pack for every variety you choose. According to Your Europe, allergen information is required on prepacked foods in the EU. Product information from Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS, among others, shows that allergen details can vary between stroopwafels.

How should I store an opened family pack of stroopwafels?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen and reseal it after use. For the stroopwafels they list, Jumbo and PLUS advise storing in a cool, dry place; Albert Heijn also recommends a dark place.

What does ‘may contain nuts’ mean on stroopwafels?

The warning indicates that nuts may be present due to cross-contamination; it doesn’t confirm that the product is suitable for someone with a nut allergy. Jumbo warns of possible traces of nuts in the Kanjers pack of four packs of two waffles. Always check the label on the exact variety you plan to hand out.

Is an online product page enough to check the ingredients?

Use a product page to compare packs in advance, but check the label on the pack you buy for its ingredients, allergens and storage instructions. That way, you can check the variety you’ll actually be serving to the group.
