Why is palm oil still used in Migros rösti when you can even buy ready-made rösti with sunflower oil in discount stores? A Swiss product with Swiss potatoes is written on the packaging, so palm oil doesn't fit in at all!

Hoi jajajaja Thank you for your comment and your honest opinion. We are in the process of changing our Rösti products so that palm oil is no longer used. We can tell you the following about palm oil in Migros products: Migros is not aiming to eliminate palm oil altogether. Palm oil performs better in life cycle assessments than other oils, as long as the plantations are established exclusively on previously cleared and unused fallow land. Switching to other oils cannot be a permanent solution; the criticized environmental problems would merely be transferred to the other oils. The only sensible way forward is therefore the sustainable cultivation of oil palms. This is why Migros has switched its palm oil to sustainable sources and monitors this annually. Migros sources the vast majority of its palm oil for food from Cambodia and is working with Greenpeace to ensure that the RSPO guidelines are tightened. At the same time, Migros has the plantations from which it sources palm oil checked by an independent organization for further criteria (e.g. no cultivation on peat soils).
