Verbraucherzentrale Hamburg: Not only the price of Popular chocolate without real strawberries
On the package of the “Yogurette“ to make yogurt and fresh strawberries quickly under the impression that it should be a light, not-too-unhealthy food. The reality is, similar to the Price, apparently, quite different.
As the Consumer Hamburg criticised, are only “puny amounts of strawberry powder”. Moreover, critics could refer to the candy bar with 571 calories per 100 grams as a real calorie bomb. Thus, the popular Snack has more calories than almost any other Chocolate.
