PAIR DROPLETS
Research shows that supermarket shelves are filled with beverages whose content is not consistent with the image of the label and the lyrics. These beverage containers with pictures of fruit, of which only a few drops sitting in that beverage.
"The packaging of red fruit yogurt drink Albert Heijn example, adorn strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, while only 1 percent fruit juice is in" the Consumers' Association says.
"The label of Sparkling Apple Crystal Clear is full of apples, while juice contains a paltry 0.01 percent juice. In Sultana Volgraan blueberry cookies is just 1 percent blueberry. And many fruit juices consist mostly of cheap apple or grape juice, and the name and the packaging suggest that there are many other fruits worry. "
MOP WITH TAP OPEN
Manufacturers fit at the insistence of the Consumers sometimes something, but this is according to researchers at the Federal mop with the tap.
Minister Schippers has indicated several times that it finds unacceptable as manufacturers give a misrepresentation on their products. In December 2013 she announced to the House that it would put in for clear labeling of fruit beverage.
