For taking out and about
If you want to take a sealed snack in your bag, check how many waffles are in each wrapper. Albert Heijn and PLUS describe Daelmans Duo as a pack of two syrup waffles, not one.
Which pack works best for you?
At home with coffee or tea
If you want to take one regular waffle from the pack at home, a multipack could suit you. Albert Heijn lists eight waffles per pack for its syrup waffles, with a serving size of 39 g.
For label-conscious shoppers
If you want to compare nutritional values or need to consider allergens, check the information on the pack you’re buying. The Voedingscentrum recommends comparing similar products per 100 g; also check how much you’ll actually eat.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start by checking how many waffles are in each wrapper or pack. Then decide whether you want a regular waffle or minis you can portion yourself, and check the nutritional information and allergens that matter to you.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming a duo is one individually wrapped waffle
Daelmans Duo comes in one wrapper, but according to Albert Heijn and PLUS, it contains two syrup waffles. That matters if you want to take exactly one pre-packed waffle with you.
Check the number of pieces per wrapper; the name or handy packaging won’t always tell you.
-
Comparing nutritional values per serving only
A serving can be defined differently for each product. So comparing products per serving doesn’t necessarily tell you how they measure up for the same amount of syrup waffle.
First compare similar products per 100 g, as the Voedingscentrum recommends, then consider how much you actually want to eat.
-
Assuming another variety has the same allergens
Albert Heijn and PLUS list wheat, milk and soya in the product information for Daelmans Duo. This doesn’t tell you which allergens apply to every other syrup waffle or to a pack with updated packaging.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, check the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging.

First compare similar syrup waffles per 100 g, as the Voedingscentrum recommends. Then check the number of waffles and the weight of the amount you want to eat.
