For a vegan snack, look for a syrup waffle that is explicitly labelled vegan, and check whether each waffle really does come in its own wrapper. Albert Heijn labels AH Terra Plantaardig as vegan and lists a 390 g pack with 10 portions, but this doesn’t confirm that the waffles are individually wrapped. The Daelmans Mini Single Pack does contain one mini syrup waffle, but it contains butter and Daelmans says it isn’t suitable for vegans.
You want to avoid animal-derived ingredients, so you check both the vegan label and the ingredients list. If an E number is unclear, you may need to ask the manufacturer: according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, E numbers can come from either plant or animal sources.
You’re looking for an individually wrapped syrup waffle to take with you on the go, to work or for a single coffee break. A pack containing several portions doesn’t necessarily mean the waffles are individually wrapped.
As well as checking the vegan label, you look at the allergen information. For example, Albert Heijn states that AH Terra Plantaardig syrup waffles may contain milk and lactose.
Check vegan suitability, the actual wrapping and the allergen information separately: none of these automatically confirms the other two.
| What to check | What to look for when buying | Most relevant for |
|---|---|---|
| Vegan suitability | Look for an explicit vegan label and read the ingredients. If any E numbers are unclear, ask the manufacturer for an explanation if needed. | If I want to avoid animal-derived ingredients, I don’t want to rely on the name or packaging; around 42% of shoppers put vegan suitability first. |
| Individual wrapper | Check how many syrup waffles are in each wrapper; the number of portions on a large pack doesn’t confirm this. | For taking one with me, I want to carry a sealed syrup waffle rather than take a portion from an opened pack; around 42% of shoppers prioritise individual wrapping. |
| Allergens and nutritional information | Distinguish between ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’. If you wish, compare the sugars per 100 g and per portion on the label. | If there’s a warning about milk or lactose, I want to take that into account alongside the nutritional information for my portion; around 16% of shoppers put this check first. |

PLUS lists butter concentrate, whey powder and skimmed milk powder in the ingredients for its Stroopwafels Per Wikkel. So a vegetarian label doesn’t mean these syrup waffles are vegan.

Not necessarily: Albert Heijn labels AH Terra Plantaardig syrup waffles as vegan, but also states ‘may contain: milk, lactose’. If you have a milk allergy, check the allergen information on the pack you buy.
No. According to Makro, the pack contains one mini syrup waffle, but it contains butter; Daelmans says its syrup waffles aren’t suitable for vegans.
Check that there’s one syrup waffle in each wrapper, rather than relying on the number of portions shown on the outer pack. If you want a vegan option, also check the current vegan label, ingredients and allergen information.
