Parents packing one treat

If you want to pack one syrup waffle for after school, check whether both waffles in a duo come in the same wrapper. With a multipack, you can set aside one waffle in advance.

Anyone taking a snack for after school or sport

A sealed wrapper is easy to pop into a bag. Just check how many waffles it contains: according to PLUS, the Daelmans Duo wrapper contains two.

Shoppers who need to check for allergens

Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant you choose. Don’t rely on the label of another syrup waffle, even if it’s from the same brand.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to pack one waffle or deliberately choose two. Then check how many waffles come in each wrapper, read the label and consider whether you’d rather portion out a pack at home.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Portion and snack time Compare the number of waffles per wrapper and the nutrition information per portion. If I want to pack one treat, I need to know whether the wrapper contains two waffles. For around 46% of consumers, having a clearly defined portion comes first.
Taking it with you Check whether the waffles are wrapped individually or in pairs. For a snack on the go, I want a sealed pack that matches how much I plan to eat. Around 27% of consumers put convenience for taking food with them first.
Flavour and stocking up at home Compare the description of the exact variant and the number of waffles in the pack. If I’m buying waffles for several snack times at home, I’d rather choose a pack I can portion out myself. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this combination of flavour and having a supply at home.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking a duo wrapper contains just one waffle

    According to PLUS, the Daelmans Duo wrapper contains two syrup waffles. So one wrapper doesn’t mean one waffle.

    Check both the number of waffles per wrapper and the weight before choosing a pack as a treat for one person.

  • Assuming a product listing means it’s currently available

    Jumbo marks its listing for Daelmans 36 individually wrapped syrup waffles, 39 g, as no longer part of its online range. The product information may be useful for comparing pack sizes, but it doesn’t confirm that you can order the item now.

    Check availability with the shop you plan to buy from.

  • Assuming all variants contain the same allergens

    Ingredients vary from product to product. A label you’ve read before is therefore no substitute for the information on the pack you choose.

    If you have allergies, always check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack.

  • Treating a syrup waffle as an everyday snack

    For children aged 4 to 12, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends fruit and vegetables as suitable snacks. That’s a different approach from packing a syrup waffle every day.

    Choose carefully when you want to give a syrup waffle as a treat, and decide in advance how many waffles you intend to pack.

Frequently asked questions

Is a syrup waffle suitable as an everyday after-school snack?

It’s best to think of a syrup waffle for a child as an occasional treat rather than the everyday choice. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends fruit and vegetables as suitable snacks for children aged 4 to 12.

How can I tell whether a wrapper contains one or two syrup waffles?

Check the number of pieces per wrapper, not just the weight or the name of the pack. According to PLUS, the Daelmans Duo wrapper contains two waffles; Joybuy also describes the Kanjers Original pack as containing wrappers of two.

What should I check if I have an allergy?

Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack before choosing a syrup waffle. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens must be listed on food labels; don’t rely on the ingredients of another variant.

Does food information for the Netherlands have to be in Dutch?

Yes. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, mandatory food information for products sold on the Dutch market must be provided in Dutch. Check the information on the pack of the variant you choose when you buy it.
