Consumer New Zealand is shining a light on how many greenwashed products can be found on supermarket shelves.
The watchdog claims it has found in a basketful of goods - products with false or misleading claims included Proper Crisps, Dilmah tea and Glad.
Consumer NZ's Rebbecca Styles says in these tough times, people should shop to match their needs because you can't always trust green claims.
"In terms of whether you want to buy the cheaper thing or the more expensive thing, just make the best decision for your wallet at this stage, I would say."
