If organic comes first
You want to serve organic syrup waffles and don’t mind combining several smaller packs for a larger group.
If organic is a must for you, choose syrup waffles whose organic labelling you can check on the packaging. Albert Heijn describes 200 g packs of mini syrup waffles and 240 g packs of gluten-free syrup waffles: compare their portions and, if needed, combine several packs to cater for your group. A standard 480 g bag is only an alternative if organic is not essential; whichever you choose, check the current allergen information.
You want to serve organic syrup waffles and don’t mind combining several smaller packs for a larger 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.
Perhaps you’re looking for a gluten-free organic option, or you want to check which allergens are listed on the packaging before sharing.
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. |
