Choose a standard sharing bag if several people will be taking syrup waffles from the same place, minis if bite-sized snacks are more convenient, or waffles packed in pairs if you want to take pre-portioned servings with you. When choosing, bear in mind the difference between the bag’s weight and individually wrapped portions. Treat a syrup waffle at breakfast as a sweet extra, rather than as breakfast in itself.
If everyone at home or work takes a syrup waffle from the same bag, check the net weight and number of waffles. Jumbo lists a 468 g bag, Albert Heijn a 390 g bag and PLUS a 400 g bag. The weight doesn’t tell you whether the waffles are individually wrapped.
For a bag or lunchbox, a pack with smaller, sealed individual portions may be more practical than an opened sharing bag. Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Syrup Waffles as 4 × 2 pieces; check how the waffles are divided inside other varieties.
If you’re taking other breakfast foods with you too, you could choose a syrup waffle as a sweet addition. According to the Voedingscentrum, an average extra-large syrup waffle weighing 40 g contains 14,7 g of sugars and 0,6 g of fibre. The values for a particular waffle or a mini may differ, so check the nutritional information on the pack.
First decide whether the waffles will be shared in one place or need to be taken individually. Then consider the size and, if ingredients or nutritional values matter to you, check the label for the variety you’re buying.
When to choose: Choose a standard sharing bag if you want to hand out whole waffles from one pack; choose minis if bite-sized snacks are better suited to the occasion.
What to consider: Minis aren’t necessarily individually wrapped. With either option, you decide how many each person takes.
When to choose: Choose this option if people want to take pre-portioned waffles with them.
What to consider: Each individual pack contains two waffles, not one. Check that this suits the number you want to give each person.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Taking and sharing | Check whether there are individual packs and how many waffles each contains. | If I want to quickly put a portion in a bag in the morning, I don’t want to have to take it from an opened sharing bag. For around 36% of consumers, convenience on the go comes first. |
| Stock for several people | Compare the net weight and number of waffles; a bigger bag doesn’t automatically mean more individual portions. | When several people are eating from one bag in the same place, I want to know whether there’s enough for us to share. Around 29% of consumers prioritise having enough in stock. |
| Size for sharing | Check whether you’re choosing mini syrup waffles or standard-sized ones. | For a shared breakfast, I’d rather serve bite-sized snacks than hand out whole waffles. This bite-sized format comes first for around 21% of consumers. |
| Label and nutritional information | Read the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g for the variety you’ve chosen. | If ingredients or nutritional values determine my choice, I want to be able to read the details for that exact pack. For around 14% of consumers, checking the label is the main priority. |
The net weight doesn’t tell you how the waffles are divided inside the bag. A pack of 4 × 2 pieces, as Jumbo lists for Kanjers Original, does make this clear.
Check how many individual packs there are before buying waffles for different bags or lunchboxes.
The Voedingscentrum lists 14,7 g of sugars and 0,6 g of fibre for an average extra-large syrup waffle weighing 40 g. This average isn’t a nutritional profile for every variety.
If you want to eat other breakfast foods as well as a syrup waffle, pack them separately and check the nutritional information on the pack for the waffles you’ve chosen.
Ingredients and allergen information can vary or change between flavours and packs. Albert Heijn notes that product information may change.
Read the label on the pack you’re actually buying, including any warnings about cross-contamination.

A pack of ten syrup waffles to share at breakfast. Check how they’re wrapped if everyone needs to be able to take a sealed portion with them, and check the net weight if the total quantity matters to your choice.
It’s better to choose a syrup waffle as a sweet addition rather than as your entire breakfast. The Voedingscentrum lists 14,7 g of sugars and 0,6 g of fibre for an average extra-large syrup waffle weighing 40 g; for the nutritional values of your pack, check the label for that variety.
The mini size alone doesn’t tell you whether the waffles are individually wrapped. Check how many individual packs there are if you want to take a sealed portion for each person.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the exact syrup waffles you’ve chosen, including any warnings about cross-contamination. Information for another flavour or an earlier pack may not apply to the one you’re buying.
Seal the bag well after use and store the syrup waffles in a cool, dry place, as Jumbo advises for its butter syrup waffles. Follow any additional instructions on the pack you’ve bought.
