Which pack is right for you?

Stocking up for the biscuit tin

You want to fill the tin for several snack times. As well as the number of waffles, check the net weight: packs of twelve don’t always contain the same amount.

Evening snackers who want a portion at a time

You’d rather not open a large bag every time you fancy a snack. A pack with individual pairs may be more practical; check how the waffles are actually packaged.

Checking ingredients and allergens

You want to know what’s in your chosen variety before you buy. Check the current packaging, including any warnings about the possible presence of allergens.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether the syrup waffles are mainly for stocking the biscuit tin or for individual evening snacks. Then check the recipe and the information on the packaging.

What to consider What should you check? Who is it important to?
Pack size Compare the net weight and number of waffles. ALDI Nederland lists a bag of 12 weighing 378 g; Lidl Nederland lists 12 Sondey waffles weighing 480 g. If I often top up the biscuit tin, I want to know how many waffles the bag actually contains. For around 46% of consumers, pack size is the most important factor.
Portion packaging Check whether the waffles are loose, individually wrapped or packed in pairs, and follow the storage instructions after opening. For an evening snack, I’d rather take a set amount without opening the whole pack. Around 36% of consumers prioritise this type of portioning.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients list, allergen information and nutritional information per 100 g or per portion. If an ingredient or allergen affects what I can buy, the label needs to be clear before I make my choice. Around 18% of consumers put these checks first.

Common mistakes

  • Comparing only the number of waffles

    Twelve waffles don’t tell you how much you’re getting: the packs described by ALDI Nederland and Lidl Nederland contain the same number of waffles, but have different net weights.

    Check both the number of waffles and the pack size, and choose an amount that suits how often you top up the biscuit tin.

  • Assuming butter tells you about the nutritional value

    Butter tells you about an ingredient, not the amount of sugar or fat in a portion. The Voedingscentrum gives 189 kcal and 14.7 g of sugars for one extra-large 40 g syrup waffle; these aren’t fixed values for every variety.

    For the pack you choose, compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion.

  • Relying on an allergen list you checked earlier

    Ingredients and allergen information can change. If you need to avoid an allergen, the information on the current packaging is what matters.

    Before eating, also check for any warnings about the possible presence of allergens.

  • Assuming packs with the same brand name are identical

    A brand may offer syrup waffles in different pack sizes or varieties. The brand name alone won’t tell you whether the portioning and ingredients are the same.

    Compare the full product name, the number of waffles and the label on the pack you’re buying.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right pack size for my biscuit tin?

Compare both the number of waffles and the net weight with how often you top up the tin. ALDI Nederland describes a pack of twelve weighing 378 g, while Lidl Nederland lists twelve Sondey waffles weighing 480 g. So the same number of waffles doesn’t necessarily mean the same pack weight.

What does the nutritional information tell me about a syrup waffle as an evening snack?

Values depend on the syrup waffle and the portion size. The Voedingscentrum lists 189 kcal and 14.7 g of sugars for one extra-large 40 g syrup waffle; check the nutritional information per portion on your pack.

Which allergens should I check in syrup waffles?

Always check the allergen information for the specific variety. The products described include ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya. Also check the current packaging for warnings about the possible presence of other allergens.

How should I store an opened bag of syrup waffles?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging and seal the bag well after use. The products described should be stored in a cool, dry place; check your variety for any additional instructions.

Does butter mean a syrup waffle is a better choice for me?

Butter is an ingredient choice, not a general measure of quality or nutritional value. Jumbo lists 25% butter in the 468 g pack described; compare the full ingredients list, portion size and nutritional information to decide what’s right for you.
