Which pack is right for you?

Stocking up for the biscuit tin

If you want syrup waffles to hand for regular coffee breaks, compare both the weight and the number of waffles. The packs from Jumbo, PLUS, Lidl and ALDI show how much these can vary between products.

Fans of a coffee-time ritual

If you like to warm a syrup waffle on top of a mug, a product with suitable instructions may matter more than the biggest pack. PLUS says to warm its 10-pack of Daelmans waffles on a mug for two minutes.

Checking ingredients and allergens

If someone sharing your food needs to avoid certain ingredients, read the current label before buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the need to list allergens in the ingredients; for the PLUS varieties mentioned here, wheat, soya and milk are among those to look out for.

What should you look for when choosing?

For coffee breaks at home, first decide how many syrup waffles you want to keep and share. Then consider whether flavour, warming one on a mug or the ingredients will affect what’s right for your household.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Pack size Compare the net weight in grams and the number of waffles; the same number of waffles doesn’t necessarily mean the same pack weight. If I want a waffle with my coffee several times a week, I want to know roughly how many breaks one pack will cover. For around 36% of consumers, having enough in stock comes first.
Flavour and coffee-time ritual Check the filling listed, whether butter is used and whether there are instructions for warming the waffle on a mug. I’d rather choose a syrup waffle for my regular coffee break than automatically go for the biggest pack. For around 29% of consumers, this ritual or flavour profile matters most.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients list and allergen information, including any relevant ‘may contain’ warning. If someone sharing my food needs to avoid an ingredient, I want to be able to check the pack itself. For around 21% of consumers, this check is the top priority.
Size and sharing Check whether you’re choosing standard waffles or minis, how many are in the pack and what the storage instructions say. If I’m sometimes sharing with visitors, I want a size that suits what I’m putting on the table. Around 14% of consumers put sharing and size first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the number of waffles tells you the pack weight

    Two 12-packs can still have different total weights: ALDI lists 378 g for 12 syrup waffles, while Lidl lists 480 g for 12 Sondey syrup waffles.

    Check both details to work out how many waffles you’ll be putting in the biscuit tin.

  • Assuming butter tells you which allergens are present

    A butter ingredient doesn’t tell you which other allergens may be relevant. The PLUS Stroopwafels pack lists wheat, soya and milk; the Korenlanders variety also says it may contain egg and nuts, among other things.

    Read the full ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ warning on the pack you’re actually buying.

  • Assuming an online product description will always be accurate

    A product’s ingredients and packaging information can change. This is particularly important if you’re choosing based on ingredients or allergens.

    So check the current label and best-before date when you have the pack in front of you.

Brands to consider

Daelmans

A brand to consider if you like warming a syrup waffle with your coffee; PLUS shows a pack of 10.

  • According to the PLUS product description, the filling is 50% syrup and you can warm the waffle on a mug for two minutes.
  • A 10-pack won’t necessarily be the best choice if you’re stocking up for regular coffee breaks. Check the allergens on the label too.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists 468 g butter syrup waffles, as well as mini syrup waffles.

  • The listed pack weight gives you a useful starting point when stocking up for the biscuit tin.
  • Standard syrup waffles and minis are different sizes; check the ingredients and allergens for the variety you choose.

PLUS

PLUS lists Stroopwafels Per Wikkel at 480 g and a 400 g Korenlanders butter variety.

  • The 480 g variety lists 12% butter concentrate; the Korenlanders variety lists 10% butter and 10% butter concentrate.
  • Both varieties list milk. The Korenlanders pack also says it may contain egg and nuts, among other things.

Sondey

Lidl lists a 12-pack of Sondey butter syrup waffles, weighing 480 g.

  • Both the weight and the number of waffles are listed for this variety.
  • Lidl says this product is sold in store; check the label there for the ingredients and allergens.

ALDI huismerk

ALDI lists a standard 12-pack of syrup waffles with caramel filling, weighing 378 g.

  • Knowing how many waffles are in the pack makes it easier to spread them across several coffee breaks.
  • Don’t compare packs by the number of waffles alone: 12-packs can have different total weights.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn’s range includes AH butter syrup waffles in a 12-pack, minis and other varieties.

  • The range lets you look for a standard size, a butter variety or minis.
  • Check the specific pack for the ingredients, allergens and net weight of the variety you choose.

How do I know whether a pack is big enough for my coffee breaks?

Check both the number of waffles and the net weight in grams. For example, ALDI lists 12 waffles weighing 378 g, while Lidl lists 12 Sondey waffles weighing 480 g. Then think about how many people usually share them.

Can I warm a syrup waffle on a mug of coffee?

Yes, if the instructions for the syrup waffle you’ve chosen say you can. The Daelmans product description at PLUS recommends placing the waffle on a mug of hot drink for two minutes; for other products, follow the instructions on the pack.

Which allergens should I check in syrup waffles?

Read the ingredients list and any ‘may contain’ warning on the current pack. The PLUS varieties mentioned here include wheat, soya and milk; the Korenlanders variety also lists the possible presence of egg and nuts, among other things. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed in the ingredients.

Where can I find the best-before date for a pack of syrup waffles?

Check the pack you buy for the best-before date and storage instructions. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that the label on prepacked food must provide readable information about its contents, how to use it and its shelf life.
