Fish fingers at Stiftung Warentest: Only two products received a “good” rating. More than half of the sticks tested were heavily contaminated, particularly with the fatty pollutant 3-MCPD.

Two products from Iglo and Rewe even received a rating of ‘poor’ due to the harmful substances they contained. Two vegan alternatives were made from soy, rice, wheat or a mixture of jackfruit and vegetables. The prices of the fish fingers tested fluctuated between 6.20 and 16 euros per kilogram.
