About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

The Inspire Food Company
Popping Boba Set – 4 types of fruit

The Popping Boba Set from The Inspire Food Company contains four different types of fruit and is a great addition to drinks or desserts. The small pearls contain real fruit juice and are ready to use. The product is vegan, gluten-free and contains no artificial colours. In the test, the set offers a fresh, fruity flavour and is a playful addition to various drinks thanks to the small, bursting pearls. The intense flavour and ease of use are positive aspects. On the negative side, the pearls may not suit everyone’s taste due to their sweetness and may be too intense for some drinks or dishes. The packaging could also be made a little more environmentally friendly.

  • With real fruit juice
  • Vegan & gluten-free
  • Without artificial colourings
  • Ready to use immediately
  • Very sweet

The Popping Boba are packaged in colourful and appealing packaging that immediately catches the eye. The design is modern and attractive, making the product an interesting choice for various target groups. The finish of the beads is consistently good: they are evenly shaped and the stability of the packaging ensures that no beads arrive damaged. The packaging provides excellent protection for the Popping Boba and ensures that they remain fresh and in perfect condition. However, it is noticeable that the plastic packaging is necessary to protect the delicate pearls from external influences, which is not ideal in terms of sustainability. Nevertheless, the packaging is functional and well made.

The Popping Boba Set was convincing in the taste test. The flavour of the pearls blends very well with different drinks and offers a pleasant, fruity refreshment. They cut a particularly fine figure in cocktails, smoothies and tea. Our laboratory test showed that the citric acid content of 0.38 g/100 g balances the flavour of the balls well, which both enhances the sweetness and adds a refreshing note. The total sugar content of 20.0 g/100g, according to the laboratory test, is appropriate for a sweet indulgence product of this type and gives the pearls their characteristic flavour. The pearls also mix excellently with various liquids without settling or clumping. According to our laboratory test, the balls have a dry matter content of 23.4 g/100 g, which is within the usual range for this product and ensures a pleasant consistency. After several days at room temperature, the pearls showed no changes in shape, smell or colour, which underlines their shelf life. The preservatives sorbic acid (1500 mg/kg) and potassium sorbate (205 mg/kg) are within the permitted range in our laboratory test and contribute effectively to extending the shelf life without impairing the enjoyment value. The packaging proved to be stable and leak-proof in the test, so that no leaks or damaged pearls could be detected. There were no complaints regarding the size and shape of the pearls, which were uniform and well processed. The product therefore lives up to its advertising promises and proves to be very reliable in practice.
