15% of Berlin-Brandenburg Food Samples Fail Quality Tests

A recent report reveals that nearly one in seven food samples did not meet labeling and presentation standards in 2023.

Approximately 28,000 food samples were tested in Berlin-Brandenburg, with 15.3% showing irregularities.
Most issues were related to improper labeling or presentation of food products.
Special dietary foods, including supplements and infant nutrition, had the highest rate of non-compliance.
Many supplements were found to make unauthorized or inaccurate health claims.
The findings are not representative of all food quality, as the focus was on higher-risk samples.
