If you want to give each child one individually wrapped syrup waffle, choose a pack labelled as individually wrapped; Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 x 8 g, this way. A duo pack is suitable only if you want to give out two waffles per portion, while a bag of loose mini waffles won’t provide individually sealed portions. Before handing them out, check the current label for allergens and storage instructions.
If each child is getting one small biscuit, individually wrapped portions save you having to divide them up beforehand. Jumbo describes its Mini Stroopwafeltjes, 18 x 8 g, as individually wrapped and suitable for handing out at school.
A duo pack is a different choice from giving each child one biscuit. Jumbo sells Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels in packs of 4, with 2 in each pack; decide in advance whether you want to hand them out in these portions.
If anyone in the group has a known food allergy, check the label before choosing a type of wrapper. The syrup waffle varieties mentioned contain ingredients including wheat, milk and soya; read the ingredients and any warnings on the pack you’re actually handing out.
First decide whether you want to take one individually wrapped biscuit, a duo or a shared pack. Then compare the number of portions and check the label for the group you’re buying for.
Choose these if: each child should get one small, sealed portion. Jumbo says its Mini Stroopwafeltjes are individually wrapped.
Bear in mind: each Jumbo mini weighs 8 g; check whether that portion size is right for your occasion.
Choose this if: two waffles make a suitable portion. The Kanjers pack of 4 x 2 shows how many sealed duos you’ll have.
Bear in mind: a duo pack doesn’t give each child one biscuit.
Choose this if: you want to divide the portions yourself and one shared pack is enough. Albert Heijn describes its Mini stroopwafels as being in a resealable pack.
Bear in mind: each biscuit won’t have its own wrapper; Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a sealed tin after opening.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| One sealed portion | Look specifically for ‘individually wrapped’ and count the individual portions in the pack. | I want to give each child one sealed biscuit without dividing them up beforehand. For around 50% of consumers, individual portions would be the top priority. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and any cross-contamination warnings on the current pack. | If I’m choosing for a group that includes people with allergies, I want to know whether the label is suitable for them before handing anything out. For around 30% of consumers, checking the label would come first. |
| Portions and storage | Compare the number of wrappers, the number of biscuits per wrapper and the storage instructions; check the best-before date too. | If I’m considering a larger portion or a shared bag, I want to take enough biscuits and know how to store an opened pack. For around 20% of consumers, portion size and storage would matter most. |
The size tells you nothing about the wrapper. Albert Heijn describes its Mini stroopwafels as being in a resealable pack, which doesn’t automatically give each child a sealed portion.
Check the product packaging to see whether each biscuit has its own wrapper.

Count the sealed packs and decide how many waffles you want to give each child before buying.
The type of packaging or a previous purchase won’t tell you which ingredients and warnings appear on the current pack. The varieties mentioned contain ingredients including wheat, milk and soya.
Before handing them out, read the label on the pack you’ve bought, including any cross-contamination warnings.
A product name may tell you how many biscuits there are without making it clear how many individual wrappers you’ll get. That difference determines how many sealed portions you can hand out.
