Who are these choices relevant to?

Anyone stocking up on syrup waffles

For regular coffee and tea breaks, the number of waffles, pack size and storage instructions all matter. Compare the pack with how quickly you expect to get through the waffles.

Anyone who prefers butter

If you want butter in the recipe, check the ingredients for the specific variety. PLUS lists both butter and butter concentrate in its Korenlanders butter syrup waffles; the product information also mentions wheat and milk.

Anyone with a dietary requirement or allergy

A flavour name or general category label isn’t enough in this case. Where necessary, choose a variety with an explicit label and check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging.

What should you look for when choosing?

Start with your requirements for ingredients and allergens. Then compare the size and packaging with the occasions you’re buying syrup waffles for.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Pack size for stocking up Compare the net weight and number of waffles, and check the storage instructions. If I’m buying for several coffee or tea breaks, I want to know how many waffles are in a pack and how to store them. Around 42% of consumers say this stocking-up requirement is their top priority.
Recipe and size If you prefer butter, read the ingredients. Choose between mini and standard waffles based on the size you want. I might want minis to share, while choosing a specific butter recipe for myself. Around 33% of consumers put this kind of recipe or snack-size preference first.
Allergens and nutritional information Check the current allergen information and, if you wish, compare sugars per 100 g and per serving. If I need to avoid an ingredient or want to compare nutritional values, the variety I choose must meet that requirement. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label is their main concern when buying.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘digestive’ describes syrup waffles

    The search term doesn’t tell you what a syrup waffle contains. Voedingscentrum gives 14.7 g of sugars for one extra-large 40 g syrup waffle; the nutritional values of another product may differ.

    Compare the nutritional information and serving size on the packaging you’re planning to buy.

  • Assuming vegan means gluten-free

    Albert Heijn labels its AH syrup waffles as vegan, but also lists wheat and soya, and says they may contain milk or lactose. A lifestyle label doesn’t answer every question about allergens.

    If you have an allergy or intolerance, check the ingredients and allergens for that exact variety. If you need to avoid gluten, choose a product explicitly labelled gluten-free.

  • Relying only on the online product description

    Albert Heijn warns that a product’s ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information may change.

    Especially if you have a strict diet or an allergy, check the packaging of the product you actually receive.

  • Assuming a product listing means it’s available

    A syrup waffle appearing on a product page doesn’t necessarily mean you can order it when you want to top up your supplies.

    Check current availability and delivery options for your order just before buying.

Brands to compare

Daelmans

Alongside traditional syrup waffles, it offers a separate variety explicitly labelled gluten-free.

  • Daelmans lists that variety as a pack of 8, weighing 240 g.

Frequently asked questions

Does ‘digestive’ tell you anything about the ingredients in a syrup waffle?

No. Don’t use that word as a substitute for the ingredients list or nutritional information. Voedingscentrum gives 14.7 g of sugars for one extra-large 40 g syrup waffle; check the packaging for the values of the one you choose.

What should you check if you need to avoid gluten, milk or lactose?

If you need to avoid gluten, choose a product explicitly labelled gluten-free and read the current ingredients and allergen information. Check for milk and lactose separately: PLUS lists these in its Korenlanders butter syrup waffles, while Albert Heijn says its vegan-labelled syrup waffles may contain milk or lactose.

How should you store an opened pack of syrup waffles?

Follow the storage instructions on your product’s packaging. For AH syrup waffles, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a cool, dark and dry place and closing the pack securely after use.

Can you assume that a syrup waffle listed online is available to order?

No. Check current availability and delivery options for your order just before buying. A product listing alone doesn’t confirm that you can receive the syrup waffles straight away.
