Transparency note

Everything above is compiled from Ritter Sport's own published disclosures and independent European reporting. It is editorial judgement, not certification: badges reflect the bulk of the range rather than any single product, and the listing is unpaid and unsponsored. Where the company reports nothing, we say so rather than assume the best.
