Rarely does the ÖKO-TEST magazine sing such a jubilee about the products it has tested: In its current issue (issue 8/2022), the testers praise tofu over the green clover.

Protein supplier: It is free of pesticides and genetic engineering, not contaminated with mold toxins and mineral oil components and, unlike highly processed meat substitutes, does not contain any additives or flavors.
