criticism of the method of fishing

A devaluation in the judgment it gave in the Organic "fish sticks from Pollock fillet" of Alnatura because of the method of fishing: The saithe is caught with bottom trawls. From a scientific point of view, so that the bottom of the sea will ravaged hard, criticize the Tester. Of the small inventory and the origin of the processed saithe were also problematic.

Healthier: fish sticks prefer in the oven to cook

A mixed response, the Tester will give to the question of whether fish sticks are healthy. For a high-quality protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and Iodine, salmon is also a good source of Vitamin D. the problem is the fat is to be delivered from the point of view of the Tester but breading - rich, especially if fish sticks to be fried in the pan. With five fish sticks children have taken a third of the recommended amount of fat per day. Parents can prepare but to counteract, by sticks the fish in the oven.
