What to look for when choosing a waffle cake in a store

If you decide to arrange a “cheat meal” or treat yourself to something tasty, but not too useful, try to approach the acquisition of the cherished dessert more consciously. When buying a waffle cake, consider the following:

• The first step is to study the composition and find out if it complies with the state safety regulations. The shorter the ingredient list, the better. The following additives are allowed and should not confuse you: emulsifiers - they are necessary to create the correct texture, leavening agents, flavorings that are identical to natural ones. The words “hydrogenated” and “saturated” indicate the presence of trans fats.
• The less time has passed since the date of manufacture of the product, the better: a fresh product will be much tastier and safer for consumption than lying down with an expiring date.Also, do not forget: the shorter the shelf life, the less the cake is stuffed with preservatives. Therefore, try to choose a dessert that is recommended to be consumed within 6 months.
• Examine the packaging itself: it must be intact, without dents or other mechanical damage. Otherwise, you will find the already fragile contents of the box cracked or with a lot of crumbs.
• A high-quality waffle cake sold in a dense cardboard box must be additionally placed in a sealed plastic bag - otherwise, the manufacturer's conscientiousness can be safely questioned.
