Which size is right for you?

Festival-goer planning one snack break

If you want to take one waffle with you without having an opened pack left over, check how many waffles are in each wrapper. Jumbo lists a Daelmans pack of 36 waffles, each weighing 39 g, but it is no longer part of its online range. So check where you can actually buy an individually wrapped waffle.

Festival-goer who needs to check allergens

Read the current packaging before choosing. Daelmans Duo contains wheat, milk and soya; Jumbo also lists a separate product variant called Lekker Vrij van Gluten. Even with this variant, check for other allergens and any warnings that may be relevant to you.

Festival-goer who wants to share or bring a supply

A larger pack may suit several snack breaks or a group. Compare packs to find the amount you need, and reseal any opened pack properly. The Voedingscentrum recommends storing syrup waffles in a cool, dry, dark place.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide how many waffles you want to take for each snack break. Then check the packaging for allergen information, serving size and storage instructions.

What to consider What to check when buying Who should pay particular attention?
Waffles per wrapper Check whether each wrapper contains one or two waffles. The Daelmans Duo from PLUS contains two waffles per 78 g wrapper. If I only want to eat one waffle, I don’t want to be left with a second waffle in an opened wrapper. Individually portioned packaging is the top priority for around 36% of consumers.
Allergens Read the current allergen information and check for a gluten-free label if needed. Also look for any warnings about cross-contamination. If I have a relevant food allergy, I first want to know whether this specific pack suits my needs. This is the most important consideration for around 29% of consumers.
Flavour and serving size Compare the number of waffles per snack break and, if you want to compare nutritional information, the values per serving. If you’re looking for a particular size or flavour, don’t base your decision solely on the total number of waffles in the pack. The serving size they want is the first consideration for around 21% of consumers.
Stocking up and storage Compare pack sizes and check how to store the pack once opened. If I’m going to a festival for several days or want to share, I want to take enough waffles without having to open a new pack each time. Around 14% of consumers prioritise having enough in stock.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a two-waffle wrapper contains one waffle

    The Daelmans Duo from PLUS contains two syrup waffles per wrapper. So if you eat one, you’ll have an opened wrapper with a second waffle left over.

    Check how many pieces are in each wrapper, not just the description suggesting it’s suitable for taking on the go.

  • Assuming a standard syrup waffle is gluten-free

    The Daelmans Duo reviewed contains wheat, milk and soya. Jumbo also states that its Kanjers variant may contain nuts.

    Before eating, read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the pack you have with you.

  • Choosing a large pack for just one snack break

    A bulk pack gives you more waffles than you want to eat at that moment, and it needs to be properly resealed once opened.

    Choose a pack size to suit the number of snack breaks you have planned and whether you’ll be sharing the waffles.

  • Taking an opened pack with you unprotected

    An open pack is less convenient if you want to eat the remaining waffles on another day.

    Reseal the pack properly. The Voedingscentrum recommends storing syrup waffles in a cool, dry, dark place.

Brands and product ranges to help you choose

Daelmans

The shops reviewed list Daelmans in both two-waffle wrappers and packs of individually wrapped waffles.

  • PLUS lists two syrup waffles per 78 g Duo wrapper.
  • Jumbo lists a pack of 36 waffles, each weighing 39 g, but it is no longer part of its online range. The Duo reviewed contains wheat, milk and soya.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists both a 468 g pack of butter syrup waffles and a 240 g Lekker Vrij van Gluten variant.

  • The two variants offer different options if you’re looking for a particular pack size or a gluten-free product label.
  • Don’t assume either variant comes in individual wrappers without checking. The butter waffle pack lists gluten, milk, soya and wheat.

Kanjers

Jumbo lists Kanjers Original Syrup Waffles in a pack of four pairs, totalling 320 g.

  • The pairs make it clear how many waffles are in each individual pack.
  • This isn’t the same as one waffle per wrapper. The product information lists egg, milk, gluten-containing cereals, soya and wheat, and possible traces of nuts.

Sondey

Lidl lists Sondey Butter Syrup Waffles in a pack of twelve, weighing 480 g.

  • The stated number of pieces helps you decide whether a whole pack is right for several snack breaks.
  • Check the wrappers and the label in store if individual portions or specific allergen information matter to you.

Biscotto

ALDI lists Biscotto Mini Syrup Waffles in a 300 g pack.

  • The mini size offers an alternative to having one large syrup waffle per snack break.
  • Check the pack if you need individually wrapped portions or specific allergen information.

Frequently asked questions

Is a two-waffle wrapper the same as one individually wrapped syrup waffle?

No. The Daelmans Duo listed by PLUS contains two syrup waffles per 78 g wrapper. If you want to take exactly one waffle without having an opened wrapper left over, check whether the product contains one waffle per wrapper.

Can I choose a standard syrup waffle if I avoid gluten, milk or soya?

Don’t choose based on the product category alone: the Daelmans Duo lists wheat, milk and soya, while the Jumbo butter waffle pack reviewed lists gluten, milk, soya and wheat. Read the allergen information on the current packaging of the variant you want to buy.

Where can I find allergen information for a pre-packed syrup waffle?

Check the pack’s label. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergens specified by law must be listed on food labels; also look for any warnings that may be relevant to you.

How should I store syrup waffles from an opened pack?

Reseal the pack properly and store the syrup waffles in a cool, dry, dark place, as recommended by the Voedingscentrum. If you want to keep waffles for another festival day, also check the storage instructions on your own pack.
