This means only one thing: that the products with the supermarket logo they workand people buy them more than in the past. But it will only be because they cost less? He tried to find an answer to this question “The Lifebuoy “the monthly specialized in fight against counterfeiting and on laboratory tests performed to protect consumers from food fraud. The investigation, this time, took into consideration 38 branded foods from different supermarkets(Coop, Esselunga, Conad, Elite Supermercati and Carrefur) and a very interesting “photograph” has emerged.
