Which packaging is right for you?

Anyone who wants to keep portions sealed

If you’re handing out one waffle at a time during the match, the remaining waffles can stay in their own wrappers. Jumbo describes its Mini Syrup Waffles as individually wrapped.

Viewers who want to grab two waffles at once

A duo pack is handy if you’re sharing a wrapper with someone else or having both waffles as one snack. According to PLUS, the Daelmans Duo reviewed contains two syrup waffles in each wrapper, weighing 78 g in total.

Groups who want to share from one bag

If you’re putting the waffles straight onto a plate, a sharing bag is an alternative to individually wrapped waffles. PLUS presents the Daelmans Mini sharing bag, containing 25 waffles, as a pack for sharing.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how many syrup waffles you want to open at once for your match-night get-together. Then compare the number of waffles in each pack and the label on the option you want to buy.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Sealed portions Check whether it explicitly says ‘individually wrapped’; a duo wrapper seals two waffles together. I want to hand out one waffle without opening the rest. For around 36% of consumers, having each portion sealed separately is the top priority.
Easy to hand out Compare the number of waffles in each wrapper with the number in a sharing bag. With several people watching, I want to be able to put out waffles without breaking them up or dividing them. Around 29% of consumers say ease of sharing is the deciding factor.
Quantity and individual wrappers Compare the number of waffles and the type of packaging if you want to fill a plate for the group. If there are lots of waffles on the table, I don’t want to throw away a separate wrapper for each one. Around 21% of consumers prioritise having fewer individual wrappers.
Label and portion size Read the ingredients, allergens, nutritional information and serving size for the exact option. I want to know what’s in the waffles I’ve chosen and how many make up one serving. For around 14% of consumers, checking the label and portion size comes first.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a duo wrapper for an individual waffle wrapper

    With a duo pack, you open two waffles at once. That matters if you only want to take one and leave the other sealed.

    Check how many waffles are in each wrapper; choose individually wrapped waffles if you want each one to remain sealed separately.

  • Assuming a product page confirms that an item is in stock

    The pages consulted for Jumbo Mini Syrup Waffles and Daelmans Jumbo Duo at Albert Heijn state that these products are not part of the online range.

    Check availability shortly before buying with the shop you plan to order from or visit.

  • Relying on the brand name alone when checking allergens

    Ingredients and allergens can vary between syrup waffle options. Information for one product does not automatically apply to another pack from the same brand.

    Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the label for the option you’ve chosen.

  • Assuming mini waffles have a fixed total portion size

    You can take several mini syrup waffles from a pack, so the size of one waffle doesn’t tell you how many you’ll eat in total.

    Check the number of waffles in each wrapper or bag, and compare the nutritional values for the specific option per serving and per 100 g.

Frequently asked questions

Is a duo wrapper the same as an individually wrapped syrup waffle?

No. A duo pack has two syrup waffles together in one wrapper, rather than each one having its own wrapper. According to PLUS, the Daelmans Duo reviewed contains two waffles per wrapper, weighing 78 g in total.

How should I store syrup waffles for a football night?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. The Jumbo Mini and Daelmans options reviewed say to store them in a cool, dry place. Only open a sharing bag when you’re ready to serve the waffles, and reseal any leftovers securely.

Which allergens should I check for in these syrup waffles?

Check the allergen information on the exact pack you’re buying. The Jumbo Mini and Daelmans options reviewed list ingredients including wheat, milk and soya; information varies by option.

Do pre-packed syrup waffles have to list allergens on the label?

Yes. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, the label on pre-packed foods must list 14 allergens. So always read the label on the syrup waffles you’re actually buying.

Can I assume that an option mentioned here is still available?

No, check availability with the shop you plan to buy from. For example, the product pages consulted for Jumbo Mini Syrup Waffles and Daelmans Jumbo Duo at Albert Heijn state that these products are not part of the online range.
