Note(s):

We singled out 13 product categories: coffee, ice cream, tea, chocolate, laundry detergents, toilet paper, cleaning products, shampoo, skincare products, toothpaste, high street clothes, shoes and other things. We selected product categories applying these criteria: (1) they belong to fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) categories, meaning that they are “inexpensive products that people usually buy on a regular basis” (Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 2024); (2) Ethical Consumer provides ratings for this category and there is a number of product options to choose from; (3) these products are sold in the grocery shops in the UK
