Choose syrup waffles that are explicitly wrapped individually if you want to take one at a time to the festival campsite without opening a larger pack. A twin pack is a good fit if you want to eat or share two waffles at once; a standard bag is more practical for several snack breaks, provided you can store it somewhere cool, dry and dark and seal it well after opening. Whichever you choose, check how the waffles are packed and, if allergens are relevant to you, read the pack label.
Want to take one syrup waffle with you without opening a large pack? Check not only the total number of waffles, but also whether the pack says there is one waffle per unit. If it says two per pack, you’ll need to open both at once.
If you’re buying a bag for several snack breaks, the key thing is how you’ll store what’s left after opening it. The Voedingscentrum advises keeping syrup waffles cool, dry and dark, and sealing them well.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re buying. The listed allergens vary between the products reviewed, so don’t rely on the brand name or a product page you looked at before.
First decide how many waffles you want to open at a time. Then consider whether you can store an opened pack properly at the campsite, and check the label if ingredients or allergens will affect your choice.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack format | Check whether it explicitly says one or two waffles per pack unit; the total number of waffles doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped. | If I want to take one waffle on my own, I want to be able to leave the others sealed. For around 42% of consumers, portion size is the top priority. |
| Storing after opening | Read the storage instructions and check whether you can keep an opened bag somewhere cool, dry and dark, and seal it well. | If you’re packing snacks for several days at a festival, you’ll want to avoid leaving an open bag loose in the tent. Around 33% of consumers put storage first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings on the physical pack. | If I have a relevant allergy or intolerance, I need to know what’s in this specific product before eating it. Checking the label comes first for around 25% of consumers. |
The number of waffles on a bag doesn’t automatically tell you how many you’ll need to open at once. For example, Jumbo lists the Kanjers pack as 4 × 2 pieces, which means twin portions rather than eight individual portions.
Check how the waffles are divided between bags or pack units. Choose a twin pack only if eating or sharing two waffles at once suits your plans.
A listing in the pack format you want doesn’t mean that version is available to buy. The Jumbo listings reviewed for Daelmans 36x1st and Jumbo 8 × 29 g said they were no longer in the online range.
Before you set off, check that the pack format you want is actually available and have an alternative in mind.
The Daelmans product listed by Jumbo contains milk, wheat and soya; the Kanjers twin pack listing also mentions egg and possible traces of nuts, among other things. These details apply to those specific products, not every product from those brands.
When you buy, read the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack in front of you.
If you’re planning several snack breaks, you’ll also need to store any waffles left over. The Voedingscentrum advises keeping syrup waffles cool, dry and dark, and sealing them well.
Seal the pack well after use, or take a storage box or bag that closes securely.
These examples can help you compare pack descriptions; always check the specific product you’ve chosen and its current label when you buy.
Jumbo listed a Daelmans syrup waffle pack as 36x1st, with 36 × 39 g: a useful reference if you’re looking for single-waffle units.
Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Syrup Waffles in a 4 × 2 pack. That works for two waffles at a time, rather than a strict one-waffle portion.
Jumbo listed its own-brand syrup waffles as 8 × 29 g. This gives the number of waffles and the weight per waffle.
PLUS lists Caramel Syrup Waffles in a bag of 10: a pack to consider if you’re planning several snack breaks.
Lidl Nederland listed Sondey butter syrup waffles as a pack of 12, with a total weight of 480 g.
These two Kanjers products suit different portion plans for festival camping: individually wrapped waffles for one at a time, or a pack of two if you want to share or open two together.

For anyone who wants to take one waffle at a time: the product description says the waffles are individually wrapped.
Pack of 10. If you have allergies, check the ingredients and allergens on the current label; also check the best-before date before buying.

For anyone who wants to eat or share two waffles at a time: Joybuy describes these syrup waffles as packed in pairs, not as individual one-waffle portions.
Pack of 8. If you have allergies, check the label on the pack you choose and look at the best-before date before buying.
Check the actual pack format to be sure. Jumbo’s listing of 36x1st indicates units of one waffle, while 4 × 2 pieces for Kanjers means twin portions. The description 8 × 29 g gives the weight per waffle, but doesn’t confirm that they’re individually wrapped.
Store opened syrup waffles somewhere cool, dry and dark, and seal them well, as advised by the Voedingscentrum. If needed, use a storage box or bag that closes securely, and follow the instructions on the pack too.
If you have an allergy, always check the label on the pack you’re buying, including the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority describes the mandatory allergen information on food labels; details for another product are no substitute for checking the pack itself.
Follow the storage instructions on your pack; a cool box isn’t the general storage recommendation for syrup waffles. The Voedingscentrum advises keeping them cool, dry and dark, and sealing them well, so choose a place where you can meet those conditions.
