Haribo has just come bottom in a new eco index that looks at the impact british grocery brands have on the environment – so it’s going straight off my shopping list – and is promptly being replaced by masses of Quality Street.

Researchers at environmental consultancy EnvirUP and Nottingham University worked together to evaluate 100 products looking at packaging, airmiles, energy used in production, fairtrade ingredients etc.  

Unilever products were awarded the eco crown with Persil and PG Tips coming first and second.  Muller Light and Haribo Jellies, shame on you for coming 99 and 100th respectively.
