It is explained in the announcement: Süpermenta was launched in 2014, and so far 100 product ranges have been complexly tested in the product test program. Of the drink powders tested in the jubilee 100th test, 30 were produced with added sugar, three were produced with sweeteners, and one product was produced without added sugar or sweetener. The study included 18 instant cocoa powders that were enriched with vitamins and/or minerals. Regarding their origin, 23 were foreign and 11 Hungarian, and their weight ranged from 15 to 1300 grams.

Official proceedings have been initiated against the relevant food entrepreneur, and the recipe of the products will be modified.
