Which size works best for you?

Travellers who want to share out portions

Want to share waffles between travel companions, lunchboxes or different snack breaks? Check both the number of waffles and how they’re portioned. For example, Jumbo lists a Kanjers pack of 4 × 2; with other packs, the number of waffles alone won’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped.

Travellers buying for a group

If you’re buying for several people or lunchboxes, the key things to check are how many waffles are in the pack and how to store them once opened. ALDI lists a pack of 12, while PLUS lists one of 10.

Travellers who need to check the label

If you need to consider allergens or dietary preferences, check the ingredients and warnings for the specific variety. Information about wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients, varies by product, so don’t rely on the brand name alone.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you need individually portioned waffles or simply enough to go round. Then check the packaging and label on the size you plan to take with you.

What to consider What to check when buying Especially useful for
Sharing out portions Check how many waffles there are and whether they’re packed in pairs or together. For a twin pack, check the exact packaging details on the wrapper. When I’m packing for travel companions or different snack breaks, I don’t want to keep opening the same big bag. For around 42% of consumers, sharing out portions comes first.
Quantity for a group Compare the number of waffles and the net weight; also check how the pack should be stored once opened. When I’m packing several lunchboxes, I want to be able to check in advance that there’ll be enough waffles. Having enough pieces is the main concern for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients, allergen warnings and storage instructions on the packaging for your chosen variety. If a particular ingredient or allergen is a deciding factor for me, I check the exact variety before buying. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority.

Common mistakes

  • Comparing only the number of waffles

    A 4-pack, a pack of 8 and a bag of 12 differ in more than just quantity: the weight and packaging may vary too.

    Compare the number of waffles, net weight and portioning before deciding what you want to share on the way.

  • Assuming all varieties contain the same allergens

    Allergen information varies by product. For example, Daelmans chocolate syrup waffles at Albert Heijn also list nuts as a possible allergen.

    Just before buying, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re actually taking with you.

  • Assuming a product page means it’s in stock in store

    A product range overview doesn’t tell you whether a pack is available at the store you’ve chosen. Lidl lists its 12-piece Sondey pack as available in store only.

    Before setting off, check availability with the store or through the ordering channel you plan to use.

  • Treating solid waffles and spreadable extras the same way

    According to Schiphol, liquid and spreadable foods are subject to the rules for liquids in hand luggage. This is something to consider separately from solid syrup waffles.

    If you’re taking a dip, spread or sauce, check Schiphol’s hand-luggage rules for it separately.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take packaged syrup waffles in your hand luggage from Schiphol?

According to Schiphol’s information, solid syrup waffles can generally be taken in hand luggage as food. Liquid or spreadable extras are subject to the rules for liquids, so check these separately if you’re taking a dip or spread.

Should I also check the import rules for my destination?

Yes. Schiphol’s hand-luggage checks are separate from the import rules at your destination. Before you set off, check the rules there for bringing in food.

Which allergens should I check in syrup waffles?

Always check the allergen information on the exact pack. The Jumbo and Daelmans varieties mentioned, for example, include wheat, milk and soya. The Daelmans milk chocolate 4-pack also states that the product may contain nuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly shown on the label.

What should I do with an opened bag before my flight?

Follow the storage instructions on the packaging and seal any opened bag securely. If you only want to take some of the waffles, check in advance whether they’re individually portioned, or take a clean, resealable container with you.
