Not just for sausages
Less content, full price: That’s why it’s allowed!
Eureka in good German: the skin and seal count towards the filling quantity of pre-packed sausages! This was decided by a court in Münster after a company was banned from selling meat products that were allegedly a few grams too light. We explain why this is not just about (German) sausages, but why the full price for less content is also legal for many other products.
It may seem like a new act in the EU legal drama surrounding a long overturned cucumber curvature regulation, but it is not just an explosive issue in Germany: during inspections in 2019, the Weights and Measures Office complained that a company was counting parts of the packaging that were not edible when filling its sausages. Random samples of two products were found to contain 2.3 and 2.6 grams too little (pure) sausage.
