Choose a large pack if you’re serving stroopwafels at several gatherings and can store an opened pack according to the label. If you’d rather open only a few at a time, look for smaller multipacks; mini stroopwafels are a good choice when you want to serve smaller bites. Check the current label for ingredients and allergens on every variety.
If you’re sharing stroopwafels across several gatherings, check the net weight and number of servings on the pack. Albert Heijn lists 390 g and 10 servings for the pack reviewed; Jumbo lists 468 g and 12 servings for its butter stroopwafels.
If you only want to open a few at a time for each table or serving occasion, it’s worth looking at multipacks. For example, Jumbo lists a Kanjers pack with four individually wrapped packs of two stroopwafels.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on your chosen pack for the guests you’re serving. Even if a stroopwafel is labelled gluten-free, its other ingredients and allergens still matter.
First, decide how many stroopwafels you want to serve at a time. Then think about how you’ll store the rest, and check the label before buying if any guests have dietary requirements or allergies.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack contents and servings | Compare the net weight with the number and size of servings shown on the pack. | If I’m stocking the biscuit tin for several gatherings, I want to know how many I can serve at a time. For around 43% of consumers, getting enough in the pack comes first. |
| Packaging and storage | Check whether you can open just part of the pack, and follow the storage advice for your chosen variety. | For a small gathering, I don’t want to open the whole pack straight away; around 29% of consumers prioritise a serving size that suits their needs. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label, even if the variety is labelled gluten-free. | If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I first need to know what’s in these stroopwafels. This is the most important consideration for around 28% of consumers. |
A large pack is less practical if it doesn’t suit the number of gatherings you’re planning to serve stroopwafels at.
Compare the stated servings with your plans, and follow the storage advice on the pack once it’s open.
The gluten-free label doesn’t tell you which other allergens a stroopwafel may contain.
For the guest in question, read the full ingredients and allergen information on the current pack.
Individually wrapped stroopwafels can still contain allergens. For its Kanjers pack of four two-piece portions, Jumbo lists egg, milk, soya and wheat, among other ingredients.
Choose the pack size based on how you want to serve them, but check allergens separately using the label.
Albert Heijn lists a standard 390 g pack of stroopwafels with 10 servings of 39 g, as well as a separate variety labelled gluten-free.
Jumbo lists butter stroopwafels in a 468 g pack with 12 servings of 39 g.
Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Stroopwafels as four packs of two, weighing 320 g in total.
This pack of ten Kanjers stroopwafels is an option for sharing with a group. Check how the wafers are packed on the product packaging before deciding how many to open at once.

For a gathering where you want to share stroopwafels with a group. Check the current packaging for allergen information, storage advice and whether the wafers are split into smaller packs.
Choose a pack size to suit how many stroopwafels you’ll serve at a time and how often you plan to use the pack. Albert Heijn lists 390 g with 10 servings of 39 g for the pack reviewed; Jumbo lists 468 g with 12 servings of 39 g for its butter stroopwafels.
Don’t assume they are: check whether the specific pack is labelled gluten-free and read the full, current label. This also lets you check for any other ingredients or allergens the guest needs to avoid.
Check the label on the pack you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must be provided on the label of prepacked foods.
Follow the storage advice on the pack and reseal it as instructed. For the variety reviewed, Albert Heijn recommends storing it in a cool, dark, dry place and closing the pack securely after use; Jumbo advises storing its butter stroopwafels in a cool, dry place.
