German term

Festartikel

German to English Bus/Financial Food & Drink Switzerland
Hi all,

this is from a web text of a Swiss chocolate manufacturer.
A table lists product groups as following:
- Schokoladentafeln
­- Confiserie
­- ***Festartikel***
­- Kaugummi
­- Halbfabrikate
­- Frühstückstisch

Further up, the document talks about "verschiedene Saisonprodukte für Ostern und Weihnachten".

I am unclear if the term in question therefore would mean "seasonal items" or "solid items" (solid blocks of chocolate, etc.).

Thank you.

seasonal articles

See first link!

"festive articles" by European definition seem to exclude chocolate (see second link)

"Festartikel" als Schokoladenblöcke zu interpretieren scheint mir unwahrscheinlich...

Viel Spaß! Nettes Thema!

agree Wendy Streitparth : UMHO products or items rather than articles. I don't think one would refer to chocolate as an article in English.

Staples

Food staples, not subject to flux or seasonality, but always there for everyday consumption.

disagree Iris S. K. : in the meaning of "festes Sortiment"? I don't believe this is the meaning of it...
