For sharing at home, a large bag often works better for the number of occasions you have in mind. For lunchboxes, pre-portioned duo packs or smaller syrup waffles are more practical. Compare the number of waffles and the weight per pack, and check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the label of the variant you choose.
If several family members help themselves from the same stock, the total weight and number of waffles are useful points of comparison. Jumbo lists its butter syrup waffles as 468 g and 12 portions; ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket as 12 pieces and 480 g.
Pre-portioned duo packs mean less repacking. Mini waffles are smaller, but check whether you’ll need to portion them yourself before packing them to take along.
If you need to check ingredients or allergens, choose based on the exact variant, not just the brand or pack size. Read the label on the pack you’re buying.
First decide whether the syrup waffles will mainly be shared at home or packed individually to take along. Then compare the size and portions. If ingredients or allergens are a deciding factor, start with the label on the exact variant.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Stock to share | Compare the total weight and number of waffles; a stated portion isn’t always the same as one waffle. | If everyone at home takes waffles from the same bag, I want to know in advance how many it contains. For around 36% of consumers, shared stock is the top priority. |
| Packing lunchboxes | Check whether there are individual wrappers and how many waffles are in each; don’t assume minis are individually wrapped. | For school or days out, I want to pack portions without first splitting up a large bag. That’s the main need for around 29% of consumers. |
| Portions and nutrition | Read the portion size and compare the nutritional information per portion and per 100 g. | If I want to plan smaller snacks, a clear portion weight is more useful than the name ‘mini’. Around 21% of consumers prioritise portion planning. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack. | If a family member needs to avoid certain ingredients, I can’t rely on the size or brand name. For around 14% of consumers, checking the label is the first priority. |
Packs can contain a similar number of waffles but still differ in total weight and portion size. This matters when you’re planning a family stock or individual portions.
Check both the number of pieces and the weight, and see how the waffles are divided in duo packs.
A smaller waffle doesn’t, by itself, tell you anything about its nutritional value per 100 g. For example, Jumbo lists a 24 g portion for its Mini Syrup Waffles. That portion weight is a different comparison from the composition per 100 g.
Use the size to plan portions, and also read the nutritional information for the variant you choose.
Ingredients and allergens vary between product variants. Albert Heijn lists wheat, milk and soya among the ingredients in Daelmans Syrup Waffles; other packs need to be checked individually.
For every variant you choose, read the ingredients list and allergen information on the physical pack.

No, the right size depends on how you’ll share the syrup waffles. A large bag is handy for sharing at home; if you want to pack them individually, you could also consider duo packs or minis and check how they’re packaged.
No, check the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack. For example, the Daelmans Syrup Waffles listed by Albert Heijn contain wheat, milk and soya; information for one variant doesn’t automatically apply to another.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. For its syrup waffles, Albert Heijn advises resealing the pack securely after use, among other guidance. Check the instructions for your variant.
Use online nutritional information to compare variants, but read the label on the pack before use too. Ingredients, allergens and nutritional values can vary between variants or change.
