A total of ten pot mints intended for direct consumption were examined in the latest test of Süpermenta. The product test ended with a reassuring result, all mints met the requirements – the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) informed MTI on Thursday.
The experts collected the eight Hungarian and two Italian plants from two domestic producers, as well as a horticulture and a larger commercial unit. In terms of their variety, in addition to the well-known peppermint and spearmint, the comparative study also included cultivated versions, so one apple, lemon, chocolate, Moroccan, orange and chewing mint were also tested.
