If you want less sugar in a sweet breakfast, compare the sugars per 100 g in syrup waffles rather than relying on the wording on the front of the pack. Albert Heijn states that AH Roomboter minder suiker stroopwafels contain 32% less sugar than the regular AH Roomboter stroopwafels, with 23 g of sugars per 100 g. Also check the other nutritional values and allergens: a plant-based or gluten-free label does not, by itself, mean the product contains less sugar.
You fancy a syrup waffle with breakfast or a coffee, but want a version with demonstrably less sugar than a comparable regular syrup waffle. Compare sugars per 100 g, and also check the energy, saturated fat and portion size.
You may be looking for a gluten-free, lactose-free or plant-based syrup waffle. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging: these features do not automatically mean the product contains less sugar.
You mainly want a classic syrup waffle or a pack in a size that suits the occasion. Don’t assume a regular or mini syrup waffle is a lower-sugar choice just because of its size; compare the nutritional information instead.
First decide whether lower sugar or a dietary or allergen requirement matters most to you. Then compare syrup waffles per 100 g; according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, this makes products with different portion sizes easier to compare.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Less sugar | Compare sugars per 100 g and check which regular syrup waffle a reduction claim is based on. | If I want less sugar with my sweet breakfast, I need to know what’s in the syrup waffle, even when the front of the pack mentions a reduction. Around 50% of consumers are said to prioritise reducing their sugar intake. |
| Diet and allergens | Check the current ingredients and allergen information; assess sugars separately from dietary labels. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients or choose plant-based products, that requirement comes before my preference for less sugar. Dietary suitability is said to be the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
| Flavour and size | Check the number of waffles and the pack weight; compare the nutritional values if sugar is still a factor. | For breakfast, I mainly want a classic syrup waffle or a suitable size, without sugar reduction being my first requirement. This is said to be the main preference for around 20% of consumers. |
