Czech shops flooded with fake Easter bunnies

Several Czech chain stores, including a Tesco supermarket in Prague, offered fake chocolate Easter bunnies, the daily Mladá fronta Dnes reported on Saturday. Instead of chocolate, the popular Easter bunnies were often made of cheaper ingredients, including camel and sheep food. Information on the ingredients, which is required by the Czech law to appear on each product, is often illegible or appears in very small print to deceive customers. Some confectioners claim that chain stores are pushing the prices of goods so low it is impossible to use real chocolate.
