Household Ingredients Compared › Wafers (Singapore)

Wafers: what's actually in them?

A wafer is a thin crisp sheet, usually wheat flour, oil and sugar, layered with a cream filling. On the Singapore shelf the category is dominated by Loacker (Quadratini cubes and Classic wafer bars), plus chocolate-coated wafer sticks such as Oreo Wafer Sticks, and the wafer rolls and assortment tins that appear in the biscuit aisle. This page covers filled wafers and wafer sticks; plain wafer sheets, ice-cream cones and wafer biscuits inside assortment tins are noted in seen-but-not-verified where no standalone list was retrieved.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed and flags added sugar, coconut oil and allergens.

The headline, in 30 seconds

Every Loacker Quadratini starts the same way. Wheat flour, coconut oil, glucose syrup, sugar — then the flavour's own filling (hazelnuts for Napolitaner, cocoa and chocolate for Chocolate, vanilla pods for Vanilla).
Coconut oil, not palm oil, is Loacker's wafer fat. It is the second ingredient in every Quadratini panelled here, and it is also why saturated fat runs around 19 g per 100 g.
The hazelnut share differs by market listing. Napolitaner is listed at 11% hazelnuts in the cream in some listings and 9% in others — see the conflict note on the panel.
Oreo Wafer Sticks lead with milk chocolate, not wafer. Milk chocolate is 33% of the product and the first ingredient; the wafer itself comes second.
FairPrice's assorted-biscuit shelf is mostly tins, not standalone wafers. Loacker Classic Mini Crispy Wafers (Assorted) is the one standalone wafer line on the first page of the FairPrice assorted-packs category; the rest of that shelf is Khong Guan, Julie's and FairPrice assortment tins, whose wafer contents have no standalone ingredient list.

Loacker Quadratini — bite-size cubes

Loacker Quadratini — Napolitaner

Pack size: 125 g · Made in: conflicted — Austria (Open Food Facts) vs Italy (other listings) (as printed)

Ingredients (retailer listing, English): Wheat flour, Coconut oil, Glucose syrup, Sugar, Hazelnuts 11% in the cream filling, Whey powder (milk), Skimmed milk powder, Soy flour, Fat-reduced cocoa, Barley malt extract, Raising agents (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate), Salt, Emulsifier soy lecithins, Spices, Bourbon vanilla pods. May contain peanuts and almonds.

The hazelnut Quadratini and the best-documented wafer on this page. The same list appears across Open Food Facts and retailer listings, with one difference flagged below. Allergens: wheat, milk, soy, hazelnut, barley Added sugar: glucose syrup, sugar Origin: conflicted — see note

Conflicts flagged: (1) Hazelnut share — some listings give 11% hazelnuts in the cream filling, others 9% (e.g. a Spinneys listing and a Finnish retailer listing). The two figures may reflect different pack sizes or reformulations; the SG pack must settle it. (2) Country of manufacture — Open Food Facts gives Austria as the origin, while other listings describe the product as a product of Italy; Loacker manufactures in both Italy and Austria, so the country varies by pack and is recorded here as conflicted, not merged. (3) Sugars — one retailer listing gives sugars as 49 g per 100 g against 24 g per 100 g in the Open Food Facts panel and the manufacturer's specification; the 49 g figure looks like a transcription error and is not used in the nutrition table.

Loacker Quadratini — Chocolate

Pack size: 125 g · Made in: Austria (per Open Food Facts) (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts / US retailer lists agreeing): Wheat flour, Coconut oil, Glucose syrup, Sugar, Cocoa processed with alkali (fat-reduced cocoa), Whey powder (milk), Chocolate 5% in the cream (sugar, cocoa mass), Soy flour, Skimmed milk powder, Raising agents (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate), Hazelnuts, Salt, Emulsifier soy lecithin, Barley malt extract, Spices, Bourbon vanilla pods. May contain almonds and peanuts.

Same wafer base as Napolitaner, with cocoa and 5% chocolate in the cream instead of 11% hazelnuts — though hazelnuts still appear in the list. One Canadian listing adds peanut butter and almonds to the list, which conflicts with the other listings; that variant is not treated as the standard list. Allergens: wheat, milk, soy, hazelnut, barley Added sugar: glucose syrup, sugar Origin: Austria (per Open Food Facts)

Loacker Quadratini — Dark Chocolate

Pack size: 125 g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (US retailer lists): Wheat Flour, Coconut Oil, Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Bittersweet Chocolate (Chocolate Liquor, Sugar), Soy Flour, Whey Powder (Milk), Nonfat Dry Milk, Barley Malt Extract, Hazelnuts, Leavening (Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Disodium Diphosphate), Salt, Soy Lecithin, Concentrated Apple Juice, Spices, Natural Vanilla Pods.

The dark version swaps the milk-chocolate cream for bittersweet chocolate and adds concentrated apple juice, which the milk-chocolate Quadratini does not list. Allergens: wheat, milk, soy, hazelnut, barley Added sugar: glucose syrup, sugar Origin: not stated

Loacker Quadratini — Vanilla

Pack size: 125 g · Made in: not stated (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts, US entry): Unbleached wheat flour, Coconut oil, Glucose syrup, Whey powder (milk), Sugar, Dextrose, Skimmed milk powder, Soy flour, Barley malt extract, Leavening agents (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate), Salt, Emulsifier soy lecithin, Natural vanilla pods, Hazelnuts, Spices.

Flag: US listing; the SG pack still needs a photo. A second US label transcription orders the list slightly differently (sugar before whey powder, and cocoa processed with alkali included) — the two are panelled as one list here from the Open Food Facts entry, with the variant wording noted. Allergens: wheat, milk, soy, hazelnut, barley Added sugar: glucose syrup, sugar, dextrose Origin: not stated

Loacker Classic — wafer bars

Loacker Classic — Napolitaner Wafer (45 g bar)

Pack size: 45 g · Made in: Italy (per Open Food Facts) (as printed)

Ingredients (Open Food Facts): Wheat flour, Coconut oil, Glucose syrup, Sugar, Hazelnuts in the cream filling, Whey powder (milk), Soy flour, Skimmed milk powder, Cocoa, Dextrose, Barley malt extract, Raising agents (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate), Salt, Emulsifier soy lecithins, Bourbon vanilla pods, Spices. May contain almonds. Product of Italy.

The full-size bar version of the Napolitaner cube, with the same base and a slightly different order (cocoa and dextrose appear, and the hazelnut percentage is not stated in this entry). Loacker Classic Mini Crispy Wafers (Assorted) is listed at FairPrice Singapore. Allergens: wheat, milk, soy, hazelnut, barley Added sugar: glucose syrup, sugar, dextrose Origin: Italy (per this entry)

Chocolate-coated wafer sticks

Oreo Wafer Sticks — Milk Chocolate

Pack size: 128 g (10-pack) · Made in: China (single AU listing, unconfirmed for SG) (as printed)

Ingredients (Australian retailer lists agreeing): Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Milk Solids, Cocoa Mass, Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, 476), Flavour), Wheat Flour, Vegetable Oil (contains Antioxidants (319), (330)), Dextrose, Sugar, Maltodextrin, Cocoa Powder, Cornstarch, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Raising Agents (500), Salt, Flavours. Milk chocolate contains cocoa solids 31%, milk solids 16%. Milk chocolate 33%.

Flag: Australian list; FairPrice Singapore lists the 10-pack (128 g) for sale, but no FairPrice ingredient section was retrieved, so the SG pack still needs a photo. One Australian listing gives the country of manufacture as China — recorded as a single-source claim, not confirmed for the SG pack. Allergens: milk, wheat, soy Added sugar: sugar, dextrose Origin: China (single AU listing, unconfirmed for SG)

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

Loacker Quadratini — Coconut, Lemon, Raspberry, Blueberry, Tiramisu, Double Choc, Peanut Butter, Cappuccino — flavours listed in FairPrice/Instagram Quadratini grids (nine flavours in one August 2026 grid), but no verbatim ingredient list retrieved for any of them in this pass.

Loacker Tortina — Original, Dark — chocolate-covered wafer bars; no verbatim list retrieved.
Loacker Gardena Fingers — Hazelnut — wafer fingers; no verbatim list retrieved.
Loacker Break3 — Hazelnut — chocolate-coated wafer with puffed rice; no verbatim list retrieved.
Loacker Classic Mini Crispy Wafers — Assorted (FairPrice) — listed for sale at FairPrice; the assortment's per-flavour lists were not retrieved, so it is not panelled as a single list.

Khong Guan, Julie's and FairPrice assortment tins/pouches — assorted biscuits that contain wafers among other biscuits, but no standalone wafer ingredient list; the tin is not a wafer product.
Ice-cream cones and wafer cups — a different use of wafer (a cone, not a filled wafer); out of scope for this page.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g. Sugars here are total sugars as printed. No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Where the source printed salt only, sodium is derived as salt ÷ 2.5 and marked as derived.

Total vs added sugars: Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (glucose syrup, sugar, dextrose) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk/whey powder).

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours. Click a column header to sort the table; "not stated" always sorts last.

Product	Basis	Energy ↕	Protein ↕	Total fat ↕	Saturated fat ↕	Carbohydrate ↕	Sugars ↕	Sodium (salt equiv.) ↕
Loacker Quadratini — Napolitaner	Per 100 g, as sold (Open Food Facts)	515 kcal	8.7 g	27 g	19 g	58 g	24 g	152 mg (salt 0.38 g, derived)
Loacker Classic — Napolitaner Wafer	Per 100 g, as sold (Open Food Facts)	517 kcal	8.6 g	27 g	19 g	58 g	25 g	148 mg (salt 0.37 g, derived)

Per-serving figures (quoted exactly as printed, not converted): Loacker Quadratini Napolitaner — per serving of 32 g (9 pieces): energy 165 kcal, fat 8.64 g, saturated fat 6.08 g, carbohydrate 18.6 g, sugars 7.68 g, protein 2.78 g, salt 0.122 g (Open Food Facts). Per-serving rows are kept separate from the per-100 g table above and are never sorted against it.

Observed numbers, no verdict: the two Napolitaner panels with full per-100 g figures both list about 515–517 kcal, 27 g fat (19 g saturated), 58 g carbohydrate and 24–25 g sugars per 100 g. The Vanilla panel's sugars figure (31.0 g per 100 g, Open Food Facts US entry) is higher than Napolitaner's, but its other figures were not retrieved, so no comparison is drawn.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for Loacker Quadratini Chocolate, Loacker Quadratini Dark Chocolate, or Oreo Wafer Sticks Milk Chocolate, and no full per-100 g panel was verified for Loacker Quadratini Vanilla beyond sugars. A social-media infographic quoting the Napolitaner figures (515 kcal, 27 g fat, 19 g saturated, 58 g carbohydrate, 24 g sugars, 8.7 g protein, 0.38 g salt) against a Chocolate Quadratini photo was not treated as the Chocolate panel — the figures match Napolitaner exactly and are not used for Chocolate here. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here.

How to read a wafer label — the jargon, in plain English

Quadratini vs Classic: Quadratini are bite-size wafer cubes; Classic are full-length wafer bars. Same brand, same wafer idea, different shape — and the lists differ slightly, so they are separate rows here.
Cream filling percentage: Loacker states the flavoured ingredient as a share of the cream (e.g. hazelnuts 11% in the cream), not of the whole wafer. Do not read it as 11% of the pack.
Coconut oil: The fat in Loacker wafers. It is high in saturated fat, which is why the saturated-fat column runs near 19 g per 100 g even though no palm oil is listed.
Glucose syrup / dextrose: Added sugars. Glucose syrup is the third ingredient in every Quadratini panelled here; dextrose appears in the Vanilla and Classic lists as well.
Raising agents (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate): The baking powders that make the wafer sheets crisp and light. They are not a flavouring.
Bourbon vanilla pods: Real vanilla from Bourbon vanilla pods, listed as an ingredient rather than "vanilla flavouring" — a marker Loacker prints on its packs.

What this page is not

Not a health score, and not a "best" pick. Quadratini cubes, Classic bars and chocolate-coated sticks are different products, and this page does not rank them.
Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; ingredients change less often, but still change.
Not complete. Eight further Quadratini flavours, the Classic range beyond Napolitaner, Tortina, Gardena and Break3 are not yet panelled, for the verification reasons given, not hidden.

Sources and method

Checked 12 November 2026 from: FairPrice Singapore category pages (assorted-packs first page; snacks and confectionery first page — Loacker Classic Mini Crispy Wafers Assorted, Oreo Wafer Sticks 10-pack listed); Open Food Facts (Loacker Quadratini Napolitaner, Chocolate, Vanilla, Classic Napolitaner); US/Australian retailer lists (Kroger, Hannaford, Lunds & Byerlys, Woolworths AU, Halal Food AU) for the Oreo and Loacker lists where no SG pack transcription was available — flagged per panel. Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page, so its shelf could not be panelled from its site. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Nutrition: figures are standardised to per 100 g where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are labelled as such and are not converted; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
