The quality of foodstuffs in the West is substantially higher than in the former Eastern bloc

The quality of foodstuffs in the West is substantially higher than in the former Eastern bloc, daily Hospodářské noviny writes. The test held by Hospodářské noviny, which selected the cheapest foodstuffs from various countries, has confirmed that in Germany and Austria meat products consist predominantly of meat, while in the East they consist of cheap substitutes. The producers defend themselves that they adopt their products to the tastes in the given countries. According to the daily, they often add e.g. skins or poultry separates into the products. Apples are often being added to vegetable products.
