NOT fully organic - Edit
A few breads are made of only organic ingredients but some others -like the majority all of their products -are made from a mixture of organic and non-organic ingredients. This is done only to save money as ALL the ingredients they use are available as organic.Some sandwiches and wraps also contain : smoked, non-organic : ham ,liver pastej, salami, turkey and shrimp.The ingredients are not fully listed so each item must be asked about which is very tiring for the staff -especially when others are waiting.This was NOT the case earlier when virtually ALL of the ingredients used were organic.
Read moreUnfortunately many " "health food " bakeries and restaurants in Stockholm claim :" We use organic ingredients whenever possible " or " or as much as possible ! "
This is a gimmick and means absolutely nothing !
As stated earlier -ALL the ingredients used are available as organic in Stockholm.
( I have worked with organic foods for over 30 years so I know the market very well.)
See also my review on " Skeppsbron Bageri " located on Skeppsbron 21 -which is NOT the "Bread and Salt "bakery in the same area ) - which is the ONLY bakery / cafe in Stockholm which only uses 100% organic ingredients and sells great tasting vegetarian / vegan breads,buns,pastries,sandwiches and salads etc. and also my review on the restaurant " Kalf and Hansen " located on Mariatorget 2 which is the ONLY restaurant in Stockholm which only uses 100% organic ingredients and has many superb vegetarian / vegan dishes. P.S. I have absolutely no connection to either of these 2 places nor to any health food bakery,restaurant or store etc.)

Pros: Better than normal ingredients.
Cons: Intensely dislike mixing of non-organic + organic.

Congrats mate. You go way out of your way to trash a bakery that, according to staff when I asked last week, uses 95% of organic products. You complain that some of the items are not organic, but animal products are of little interest to most of us here at HappyCow. Additionally, you refer to another bakery that you have reviewed, when if fact you haven't done so... because it's not even listed here.
Read moreI do agree that it's unfortunate and vague, to say the least, that places claim they use organic products "whenever possible".. but you seem to be picking on the wrong target.

I usually do not respond to sarcasm as it is both highly immature and primitive but for the sake of clarity on this very important issue I will.
Read more1. Informing people about the honest facts on any situation is hardly "trashing."
On their website ,they ONLY state that their wheat ,rye and dinkel are organic.
That is it.
Leaving aside any possible animal and dairy products, this means that all of the vegetables ,nuts and fruits etc. that they do use are NOT organic -even if they are easily available.
I find it extremely interesting that you were told by their staff that 95% of their ingredients are organic yet that fact is NOT on their website …
If what the staff told you is correct ,then they could be easily certified by KRAV ( the Swedish organic certifying agency ) which they are not.
After eating an almost totally organic diet for over 40 years and having travelled to over 30 countries I can tell you that any bakeries, cafes, and restaurants that are serious about using organic ingredients virtually always provide a complete ingredient list on all the products that they produce ,serve or sell and clearly mark which ingredients are organic and which are not.
This is not done by Konditori Genuin-there are no ingredients listed on the website for the many food items that they produce.
Organic ingredients must be clearly stated and must be certified by an organic certifying agency-that is the ONLY guarantee that the consumer has that the ingredients used are truly organic.
People who truly care about using organic ingredients will use only certified organic ingredients -and not just ask the consumer to rely upon their word of mouth in the worldwide multi -trillion dollar organic food industry.
2.About myself having referred to another bakery (Skeppsbron Bageri ) but it not being listed I do not know what happened.
I wrote a review and sent it but perhaps was overtired and did something wrong.
Nevertheless, it is excellent bakery and uses only 100% certified organic ingredients as does the also (excellent) restaurant:"Kalf and Hansen."
( Note: I have absolutely no connection to either of these 2 businesses whatsoever nor to any health food
bakery,restaurant or store etc.)
I also want to thank the people at " Happy Cow " for the crucially important work they do ! Thank-you !!
