Pom-Bear

Does Pom-Bear produce ethical and sustainable crisps? 

First introduced in the UK in the 1990s, Pom-Bear is a popular brand which produces bear-shaped crisps. Within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Crisps sector, Pom-Bear has a below-benchmark score, making it a bottom-rated brand. Unfortunately, this means Pom-Bear is not yet eligible for Ethical Accreditation. However, we hope it improves its standards in the future to become a more ethical brand.
