- 1.All the cheeses except for the soft ripened cheeses with white mould-are sold cut and wrapped in very dangerous soft plastic.This soft plastic leaches out extremely dangerous chemicals such as pthalates,plasticizers,and softeners etc.into the cheese upon contact.There is waxed cheeses paper available if you want to take off the plastic and wrap it again but the chemical transference has already happened. The excuse that if they have people cutting the cheese that the lineup will be too long is illogical -simply have more people working there as is the case in many other organic stores in Berlin! Never buy or wrap your cheese in plastic!
2.In the meat section,many of the German " Wurst" contain Nitrit even if they are Bio!This is unfortunately allowed under EU regulations yet many customers do not know this.Nitrit has been without any doubt whatsoever to be shown to cause stomach cancer and is COMPLETELY unecessary and is only added for color! Proper refridgeration is all that is necessary to avoid botulism as shown by the many BIO companies making Wurst without any nitrit!
Orthodox Jews have been eating ( non-pork) Wurst and sausages for over 1500 years that are not allowed to contain nitrit and suffer no botulism.
ALL WURST AND SAUSAGES THAT CONTAIN NITRIT SHOULD BE CLEARLY MARKED AS CONTAINING NITRIT AS MUST BE LEGALLY THE CASE WITH ALL PACKED WURST AND SAUSAGES!
It is simply not enough to hand the consumer a very thick folder and tell them to look up the product and the ingredients themselves!
-As is the case with all organic food stores worldwide, is the criminal scandal that ALL organic foods are allowed to be packed in cans that contain the dangerous ingredient BPA which then leaches into the food even though cans can easily be made without BPA!
So except for the cheese wrapped in plastic,the wurst containing nitrit,and the organic foods in cans containing BPA which is the case with all organic food stores (BIO LADEN) that sell canned organic food -Lpg makes for truly a fantastic shopping trip and is highly recommended! Note:These exact same comments are found on another site reguarding the LPG store in Mehringdam.This is because of the fact that I went to both of the LPG stores and found that the exact same positive and negative comments applied to both of them. read more
