Which pack is right for you?

Organisers who want to give each pupil a sealed treat

You want to hand out treats without wrapping the waffles yourself. Jumbo states that its Mini Syrup Waffles are individually wrapped; bear in mind that each portion is 8 g.

Fair stallholders who are happy to offer a duo

If two waffles can count as one serving, a duo could be a good option. PLUS lists a 78 g Daelmans duo pack.

Organisers running a staffed stall

Your main consideration is how many waffles you can serve from each pack, and you’ll manage serving them yourself. ALDI lists a pack of 12 syrup waffles, while PLUS shows a bag of 10 Daelmans waffles. Don’t assume these packs contain individually wrapped waffles without checking.

What should you consider when choosing?

First decide whether one waffle or a duo counts as a serving. Then check the pack for the variant you’ve chosen to see how the waffles are wrapped and what information you’ll need to have available at your stall.

Individually wrapped mini syrup waffles

A good fit if: each pupil gets one sealed mini portion; Jumbo specifically states that its Mini Syrup Waffles are individually wrapped.

Bear in mind: each 8 g portion is a mini syrup waffle, so make the size clear in advance.

Duo pack

A good fit if: two syrup waffles can count as one serving; PLUS lists a 78 g Daelmans duo pack.

Bear in mind: a duo won’t suit a plan where each pupil gets exactly one waffle.

Bulk pack

A good fit if: someone at the stall will serve the waffles and you want to plan how many you’ll get from each pack.

Bear in mind: a bulk pack doesn’t confirm that each waffle is individually wrapped; check the pack you’ve chosen.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
A sealed portion Check the pack for the exact variant to see whether each waffle is individually wrapped and what size portion you’re buying. If I want to give each pupil a sealed treat, I don’t want to have to open a bulk pack. For around 42% of consumers, individual portions are the top priority.
Number of servings Check how many waffles are in each pack and decide whether a duo counts as one serving. At a staffed stall, I want to know how many pupils one pack will serve, even if I’m handing them out myself. For around 33% of consumers, the number of portions matters most.
Up-to-date label information Read the label on the variant you’ve bought and keep the ingredients and allergen information available at the stall. Before I offer syrup waffles, I want to be able to show customers the label on the variant I’ve bought. For around 25% of consumers, having up-to-date information is the top priority.

Common purchasing mistakes

  • Assuming a bulk pack contains individually wrapped waffles

    The number of waffles in a pack doesn’t tell you whether each one has its own wrapper. If you open the pack at the stall, you’ll need to manage serving them yourself.

    Before counting on a sealed portion for each pupil, check the wording on the pack for the exact variant. Jumbo specifically states this for its Mini Syrup Waffles, but that doesn’t automatically apply to other products.

  • Presenting a duo as a single syrup waffle

    A duo contains two waffles, so it isn’t suitable if every pupil is meant to get exactly one.

    Decide in advance whether you’re serving waffles individually or in duos, and make this clear at the stall.

  • Relying on an out-of-date online allergen list

    Product information can change. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information for prepacked food must appear on the label.

    Check the label on the syrup waffles you’ve actually bought and keep the pack somewhere customers can read it.

Brands and supermarket ranges to consider

Jumbo

Jumbo lists both standard syrup waffles and packs of 18 x 8 g Mini Syrup Waffles.

  • According to Jumbo’s product page, the mini syrup waffles are individually wrapped and suitable for handing out at school.
  • These are mini portions; check separately whether waffles in other Jumbo packs have their own wrappers.

Daelmans

PLUS lists Daelmans syrup waffles in a 78 g duo pack and a bag of 10; mini waffles also feature in its range overview.

  • The duo and the bag offer different pack sizes to help you plan how you’ll serve them.
  • Don’t assume the duo or the bag contains one individually wrapped waffle per portion without checking.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists a product called Syrup Waffle To Go and also features Daelmans mini waffles.

  • The product names make it easier to search for a handy on-the-go size or a mini portion.
  • Check whether the variant you’ve bought is individually wrapped, and read the current label.

ALDI

ALDI lists a pack of 12 syrup waffles weighing 378 g in total. Its biscuit range also includes syrup waffles wrapped in pairs.

  • The stated quantities let you assess a bulk pack and a two-waffle serving separately.
  • Wrapped in pairs isn’t the same as individually wrapped; check the pack for the variant you’ve chosen.

Lidl / Sondey

Lidl lists Sondey Butter Syrup Waffles and Sondey Mini Butter Syrup Waffles.

  • The standard and mini versions give you two sizes to consider when planning portions.
  • Check the pack to see whether the variant you’ve chosen is individually wrapped and what information its label provides.

PLUS

PLUS lists, among other options, a 78 g Daelmans duo pack, a bag of 10 syrup waffles and a stand-up pouch of 25 Daelmans mini waffles.

  • The pack types and quantities listed can help you choose the serving size you have in mind.
  • Read the pack for the variant you’ve chosen; a stated number of items doesn’t confirm that they’re individually wrapped.

Frequently asked questions

When are individually wrapped mini syrup waffles a good fit for a school fair?

They’re a good fit if you want to give each pupil a sealed mini portion without wrapping the waffles yourself. Jumbo states that its Mini Syrup Waffles are individually wrapped and can be handed out at school; check that the 8 g portion suits your plans.

Can I rely on a supermarket website for ingredient and allergen information?

For the fair, use the label on the pack you’ve actually bought. Albert Heijn warns that online product information, including ingredients and allergen information, can change.

What allergen information should I have available at the stall?

For prepacked syrup waffles, keep the readable label for the variant you’ve bought available. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked food must appear on the label.

Is a duo the same as one individual syrup waffle?

No, a duo contains two waffles. It’s only suitable if you offer them together as one serving; PLUS, for example, lists a 78 g Daelmans duo pack.
