referred to in the Review 2013 Stiftung Warentest chocolate Ritter Sport because of “misleading labeling” of the vanilla flavor as “not marketable”. On the other hand put Ritter Sport with success an action before the Landgericht Munich: The judge prohibited the Foundation to continue to obtain the assertion upright and threatened with a fine for violations. Since the passage about Ritter Sport is blacked out in the review.
For the Stiftung Warentest the final defeat in the dispute is a serious blow, as they benefited from their good reputation with their test results, she has achieved in 50 years. Precisely because of the immense significance of the test reports must Stiftung Warentest choose their words carefully especially admonished the judge. “When you write, you have demonstrated that, then you have to hold onto it.”
Stiftung Warentest argued, however, that piperonal must have been produced artificially, since no natural method for extraction of the aroma is released. “This case stinks to high heaven,” criticized a lawyer for the foundation in court.
