It is not nice when you are awarded the Golden Cream Puff as a company. The organic producer Zwergenwiese, meanwhile, readily accepts Foodwatch's critical "award" – a novelty – and changes the recipes for three children's products.
The negative price of the golden cream puff by the consumer protection organization Foodwatch has had an effect on the organic producer Zwergenwiese: The company, whose tomato sauce was criticized by consumer protectors in December, now wants to significantly reduce the sugar content of its food aimed at children, as Foodwatch AFP explained.
Zwergenwiese had announced that the children's tomato sauce would contain 43 percent less sugar in the future and would therefore meet the criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO) for food aimed at children. Zwergenwiese also wants to adapt the recipes for a children's ketchup and a children's spread according to the WHO recommendations. Zwergenwiese was the first manufacturer ever to accept the negative price of the golden cream puff and announced a review of all children's food. 70,000 users on the Internet had voted on the prices.
Foodwatch welcomed the move. At the same time, the consumer organization asked nutrition minister Julia Klöckner from the CDU to push for better labeling rules as part of the German EU Council Presidency. "Supposedly child-friendly sugar bombs, natural products with additives, chicken soup without chicken meat – misleading advertising is lurking everywhere, and the federal government has been standing by for years. That must be over," said Manuel Wiemann from Foodwatch.
