As people grow increasingly wary of food retailers' claims of provenance on labelling, they're calling on the government to it clearer so they're not mislead. This way shoppers can make better informed decisions around what they buy, especially if they want it to align with their values.

They may offer little choice in their product ranges, but Germany’s specialist stores remain a fixture in the nation’s shopping habits, occupying the niches that mainstream chains often overlook. Why do these smaller stores continue to attract adoration, and what can big brands learn from them?
