The Swiss company Lindt & Sprüngli advertises its fine taste and the best ingredients. Is that right? And how fair are the cocoa plantations?

We have the following competing: Lidl and Rewe's affordable own brands. Much more expensive: Milka and Ritter Sport. And by far the most expensive: Lindt's milk chocolate. 100 visitors to the SWR Summer Festival are allowed to try and each vote for their favorite chocolate with a ball. Which chocolate will do best? SECOND CHECK: QUALITY OF LINDT CHOCOLATE Lindt chocolate is examined by chocolatier Eberhard Schell and chocolate sommelier and member of the Grand Jury of the International Chocolate Awards Michaela Schupp. The smell, how the chocolate breaks, the processing and how the chocolate melts, and the taste of the chocolate are examined. Which chocolate convinces the experts? THIRD CHECK: MARKETING AND PRICES AT LINDT & SPRÜNGLI While other chocolate brands have their price on the shelf, Lindt products often have no price. Instead, there is a recommended retail price on the Lindt packaging. Retailers usually follow this. When comparing prices, it is worth it for consumers to pay attention to the base price - prices can vary considerably depending on the packaging. FOURTH CHECK: NUTRIENTS The 200g Gold Bunny contains 108g of sugar. However, the WHO recommends a maximum of 50g of sugar per day, although only 25g is ideal. What other ingredients are contained in the various Lindt products? How healthy is dark chocolate really and what role does the cocoa content in the chocolate play? FIFTH CHECK: FAIRNESS While other chocolate brands advertise with seals such as Fairtrade, UTZ or Rainforest Alliance, none of these seals can be found on Lindt chocolate. Instead, Lindt relies on its own "Farming Program". What is it all about? And under what circumstances do farmers work for Lindt? ----------- Author: Moritz Hartnagel Image source: Adobe Stock / Graphicroyalty, picture alliance dpa / Andrew Gombertpicture ----------- ► Origin, quality and price of chocolate How much does ... cost?
