Who is this choice relevant to?

If organic comes first

You want to serve organic syrup waffles and don’t mind combining several smaller packs for a larger group.

If you’re buying for a group

You want to work out in advance how much you can serve. The number of waffles, stated portions and portion size are more useful than the weight of the bag alone.

If you’re catering for guests

Perhaps you’re looking for a gluten-free organic option, or you want to check which allergens are listed on the packaging before sharing.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether organic is essential. Then consider which portions will suit your group and whether the ingredients and allergen information are suitable for your guests.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important for?
Organic labelling Check the organic labelling, EU organic logo and control code on the packaging. A large bag isn’t automatically organic. If I’m putting syrup waffles out for guests, I want to be able to check the organic labelling, even if that means buying more packs. For around 50% of consumers, choosing organic matters most.
How much to share Compare the number of waffles or stated portions, and their size. Albert Heijn lists 25 portions of 8 g for its organic mini syrup waffles and eight portions of 30 g for its gluten-free organic variety. For a get-together, I want to serve enough without mistaking a mini portion for a whole syrup waffle. For around 30% of consumers, the amount to share comes first.
Dietary requirements and allergens Read the allergen information on the current packaging. According to the product information, Albert Heijn’s gluten-free organic syrup waffles also contain egg and lupin. If a guest needs to eat gluten-free or has an allergy, I want to know which pack is suitable before sharing. For around 20% of consumers, this check comes first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a large bag is organic

    PLUS and Lidl each describe a standard 480 g pack of syrup waffles, with no organic labelling on the product pages in question. The weight tells you nothing about whether they’re organic.

    Check the organic labelling on the packaging before working out how many bags you’ll need for your group.

  • Comparing only the pack weight

    Albert Heijn’s organic mini syrup waffles list 25 portions of 8 g; its gluten-free organic variety lists eight portions of 30 g. So the same number of grams wouldn’t necessarily mean the same serving plan.

    Work out how many guests you’re expecting, then compare the stated portions with what you want to offer each person.

  • Confusing gluten-free with allergen-free

    According to the product information, Albert Heijn’s gluten-free organic syrup waffles contain egg and lupin. Other varieties have different allergens.

    Ask which allergens are relevant to your guests and check the physical packaging just before serving.

  • Assuming an older product listing means it’s in stock

    Jumbo says its 315 g organic syrup waffles and 175 g Smaakt Bio waffles are no longer part of its online range.

    Check the current range and packaging before relying on a product listed previously.

Brands to consider

Albert Heijn / AH Biologisch

Albert Heijn describes 200 g packs of organic mini syrup waffles and 240 g packs of gluten-free organic syrup waffles. They’re two different options for sharing.

  • The packs differ in portion size and allergens. The gluten-free variety contains egg and lupin.

Smaakt

Frequently asked questions

How can I check whether syrup waffles are organic?

Look for the organic labelling, EU organic logo and control code on the physical packaging. Skal Biocontrole describes the EU organic logo as being for pre-packed organic food produced in the EU; a large pack or natural-looking appearance alone tells you nothing about whether a product is organic.

Is one pack of organic syrup waffles enough for a group?

That depends on the number of guests and the portions you want to serve. For its 200 g organic mini syrup waffles, Albert Heijn lists 25 portions of 8 g; for its 240 g gluten-free organic syrup waffles, it lists eight portions of 30 g.

Are gluten-free organic syrup waffles also allergen-free?

No. According to the product information, Albert Heijn’s gluten-free organic syrup waffles contain egg and lupin. Check the current packaging for any allergens relevant to each guest.

How should I store opened syrup waffles for later?

Follow the instructions on the packaging and seal it properly after opening. For the organic products mentioned here, Albert Heijn recommends storing them in a cool, dark and dry place. Also check the best-before date on the packaging.
