Out of 33 products, six Easter bunnies received the double-green top mark, ten didn’t have a single seal and received the double-red negative mark.
The six test winners are the “EZA chocolate bunny” from the world shops, the “Vegan organic Easter bunny” (Spar), the “Natur*pur organic Easter bunny” (Spar), the “Billa organic Easter bunny” (Billa), “Bio Natura Chocolate bunny” (Hofer) and the “Bar Easter bunny in tinfoil (denn’s organic market)”. All six carry both the EU organic seal and a Fairtrade seal of approval.
For the first time, the chocolate Easter bunny check also shows the entire range of vegan chocolate bunnies. For this purpose, only one standard bunny and the vegan variant – if available – were examined per brand. Of the seven chocolate bunnies in this group, five have strict certification, one was awarded double green, and only one vegan product ended up in the double red segment.
“Thanks to the organic certification, the customer can be sure that chemical pesticides and fertilizers have been dispensed with – both with the cocoa and with the other ingredients such as milk,” says Martin Wildenberg, sustainability expert at Global 2000.
