Aldi brioche burger buns fail Öko-Test evaluation
An investigation by Öko-Test into 14 different brioche burger buns from supermarkets, discounters, and organic retailers has resulted in poor ratings for several products. Out of the 14 items tested, only three received a “good” rating.
Aldi products received the lowest marks. Specifically, the “BBQ Brioche Burger Buns Classic” from Aldi Nord and the “Goldähren Brioche Burger Buns Classic” from Aldi Süd both received the grade “ungenügend” (insufficient). Laboratory analysis revealed residues of several pesticides, high salt content, and poorly rated natural flavors in these buns. Despite being among the most affordable options at 1.41 Euro per 250-gram pack, they failed the quality assessment.
