For taking with you or sharing
If you want to put one syrup waffle in a lunchbox or give one to someone, look for a wrapper per waffle. Daelmans lists packs in which the waffles are individually wrapped.
Which pack is right for you?
Two waffles at a time
If you usually share two syrup waffles or enjoy them together during a break, a twin pack may suit you. PLUS lists a Daelmans twin pack, while Albert Heijn describes a Daelmans pack as 4 x 2.
Check the ingredients first
If you need to know which ingredients or allergens a syrup waffle contains, read the label for the exact variety you’re buying. Whether a pack contains individually wrapped waffles or pairs tells you nothing about its ingredients.
What should you look for?
First decide whether you want one or two waffles per wrapper. Then check the portion size and nutritional information for your chosen variety.
One waffle per wrapper
Choose this if: you want to take individual waffles with you or hand them out. Daelmans lists packs of 24 x 1 and 36 x 1.
Bear in mind: a box contains several individually wrapped portions, so check that you need that many.
Two waffles per wrapper
Choose this if: two waffles suit the occasion or you want to share a wrapper.
Bear in mind: a twin pack won’t give you an individually wrapped waffle for another time.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking or handing out individual waffles | Look for ‘individually wrapped’ or a label such as 24 x 1; count both the waffles and the wrappers. | If I’m giving someone one waffle, I want to be able to keep the rest sealed. Around 50% of consumers would consider this their main need. |
| Portion size and nutritional information | Check how many waffles are in each wrapper and whether the nutritional information is given per 100 g or per portion. | During a break, I want to know whether I’ll get one or two waffles from a wrapper. For around 30% of consumers, that portion size would be the main consideration. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current label for the exact variety. | Before buying waffles to share, I need to be able to check which ingredients and allergens they contain. This would be the main concern for around 20% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a twin pack for an individually wrapped waffle
A label such as 4 x 2 can mean that two syrup waffles are in each wrapper. That’s not what you need if you want to give someone exactly one wrapped waffle.
Check whether the pack says one waffle per wrapper; choose a twin pack if two waffles at a time suit you.
-
Relying on an old product page
A product page may remain online after a variety has left the range. Jumbo notes this for its mini syrup waffles, while Albert Heijn does so for ‘Syrup waffle to go’.
Check with your retailer just before you shop to make sure your chosen variety is available.
-
Assuming the wrapper tells you about allergens
Individual wrapping doesn’t change the ingredients. Daelmans lists wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients, in its 36 x 1 syrup waffles.
Read the current label for the exact variety, even if you’ve bought a different pack size from the same brand before.
Brands to consider
Daelmans
Daelmans lists packs with one syrup waffle per wrapper, including 24 x 1 and 36 x 1, as well as twin packs.
- The official Daelmans shop describes its 36 x 1 pack as 36 individually wrapped 9 cm syrup waffles.
- A Daelmans twin pack, such as the one listed by PLUS, doesn’t contain one waffle per wrapper.
KANJERS
Jumbo lists KANJERS Original Syrup Waffles as a pack of 4 x 2, weighing 320 g.
- The 4 x 2 label makes it clear that this supermarket variety comes in packs of two.
- This label doesn’t confirm that each waffle is individually wrapped.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists its own butter syrup waffle pack, weighing 468 g and containing 12 portions.
- The listed portions give you a useful reference when checking the nutritional information for this variety.
- Twelve portions don’t confirm that the waffles are individually wrapped.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if each syrup waffle has its own wrapper?
Look for a clear label such as ‘individually wrapped’ or 36 x 1, and check how many waffles are in each wrapper. A twin pack or a 4 x 2 pack may contain two waffles in the same wrapper.
Do individually wrapped syrup waffles stay fresh for longer?
An individual wrapper lets you keep the remaining waffles sealed, but it doesn’t in itself guarantee a longer shelf life. Daelmans describes its individually wrapped waffles as convenient and hygienic for taking with you. Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the pack you choose.
Which allergens should I check in syrup waffles?
Read the allergen information on the current label for the exact variety. The Daelmans 36 x 1 syrup waffles list wheat, milk and soya. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label.
Does an individual wrapper tell me anything about the nutritional value?
No. The wrapper tells you how many waffles are packed together, not what one waffle contains. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and, where stated, per portion, using the pack size you’re planning to buy.
