After reading this investigative article about how rolls are made in Germany's weekly intellectual newspaper Die Zeit (think New Yorker, only in newsprint format), I will never buy another vacuum-packed Brötchen from Lidl again...
Essentially, the article reports how the machines that bake them cannot be thoroughly cleaned and the workers are treated so poorly that injuries are viewed as 'part of the job'. Mold grows on the machines and people are demoralized.
That's all I needed to know.
