It is not always easy to determine which products are really worth the money. An expert now names three products that do not meet his expectations.
Berlin – special offers and new products as far as the eye can see. Ron Perduss wants to provide an overview of the supermarket jungle on his TikTok channel. The journalist and consumer expert not only provides information about current recalls and product tests, but also gives general shopping tips. In his new video he describes which stitches he clearly considers to be rip-offs: “You should definitely not buy these three things in the supermarket.”
“Stay away!” advises consumer advocates when it comes to cut fruit
“Is that practical? Sure, no question about it!” begins the expert. Nevertheless, he advises not to buy fruit such as strawberries or watermelon that has already been pre-cut. “You’re really being ripped off here,” is his assessment. The shop would charge a lot for the cutting work. A sliced watermelon costs five times as much as a whole fruit in some supermarkets. According to him, a pineapple can cost up to ten times the price. A store manager gives tips on how to always get the freshest fruit.

30 percent less sugar – what does that mean?
According to the packaging, many products promise to contain a certain percentage less sugar. The expert advises thinking about how this information compares. Whether this is about, for example, a muesli containing 30 percent less sugar than a competing product or about 30 percent less than another variety of the same brand. This is unclear at first glance.

describes that the percentage is always a comparison with a theoretical average product. The percentage only refers to a specific nutrient. If “less sugar” is added, the calorie content must also be lower than the comparison product.

Experts advise against “high protein” products
Some yoghurts or shakes are also labeled “High Protein”, meaning they promise a particularly high amount of protein in their contents. However, the quality of other ingredients is often neglected, according to the consumer advocate. He goes on to explain that most people don't need the extra portion of protein in their everyday lives. He recommends a balanced diet. These can also be found cheaper in the supermarket. “Don’t spend your hard-earned money on these high protein products!” says Perduss. A study also advises against high protein products.
