How to buy red caviar and not make a mistake

Red caviar is very useful. So we console ourselves by purchasing this expensive food product. But experts say that for their "blood" you can buy caviar, which, due to the high content of preservatives and violations of storage conditions, will only bring harm.

Natural red caviar is a perishable product. It will not be possible to transport and store it without adding salt and some other special additives, even if the temperature is kept constantly low.

But processing is different and not all suppliers take the health of their consumers equally seriously. Quite often, manufacturing companies use technologies unsuitable for preservation or process spoiled caviar to pass it off as fresh.

In order not to put yourself and your loved ones in danger at the festive table, follow a few simple rules:

How realistic is it to buy real high-quality red caviar these days? The Center for Independent Consumer Expertise "TEST" conducted control purchases in various stores, both retail and online.

There is an opinion that caviar bought online is better and cheaper. The experiment showed that in 7 out of 10 cases, online stores sent artificial caviar instead of real red caviar, which has nothing to do with the natural product obtained from salmon fish.

Also, almost all samples had violations related to packaging design. The date of manufacture, shelf life and exact composition of the product were not indicated everywhere. In addition, the disadvantages of such a purchase include the absence of a receipt or any other accompanying document. Many online stores did not have an actual address at all, and in case of claims, there will simply be no one to present them.

Therefore, summing up, we would like to advise you to organize the purchase in such a way as to be able to communicate directly with the seller, as well as inspect the packaging and its labeling. It is better to refuse products of unknown brands, even if they are very attractive in price — a popular trademark is always more reliable, after all. Do not forget that good caviar is never too cheap.
