Christmas is an opportunity to savor foie gras, salmon or even caviar with the family.

But during this holiday season, Foodwatch wants to invite French consumers to be cautious.

A few weeks before Christmas, the NGO indeed warns about “abuses” concerning certain typical products of the period.

The composition of the food is not only questioned: Foodwatch also denounces abusive prices, reports BFMTV.

Prices soaring for Christmas

The NGO launched an online vote to designate "the worst label scam" for a selection of products.

The article elected by consumers will be awarded a “Casserole d'Or”.

In the names, we find a pot of lumpfish roe from the Nordland brand stuffed with “controversial” additives or an Oasis drink containing palm oil.

Foodwatch has also unearthed a can of smoked salmon sold at Lidl and whose packaging is made up of "63% empty", according to the NGO.

Another achievement of the brands: a jar of onion confit from the Labeyrie brand, placed next to the blocks of foie gras and sold four times more expensive than identical jars placed in another department.

The process is the same for Polenghi organic lemon juice, sold for 10 euros per liter by Carrefour when it is placed next to the salmon, against 7 euros per liter in its usual department.

All the products cited by the NGO are not put to the vote, which will end on December 21.
