Dear M-Infoline team, I would like some information if this is possible. From you? Why does aha délice extra light butter contain palm oil and thickeners? Is it possible to change this composition? I would appreciate a good response from you Lg Marisa Kendlbacher
Hello Kendlbacher, thank you very much for your inquiry and the photos. We are delighted that you are interested in our aha! Délice Extra Light Butter. The use of palm oil and thickeners has both technical and qualitative reasons, which we are happy to explain to you.
Palm oil gives the product its proven consistency and the usual spreadability. It serves as a vegetable fat source and contributes to the stability of the product. We make sure that we only use sustainably certified palm oil (RSPO standard).
The thickener is necessary to maintain the texture and stability of the butter. Otherwise, the low fat content would cause the food to separate into its individual components, resulting in an unpleasant mouthfeel.
As far as additives are concerned, we generally follow the principle of "as much as necessary, as little as possible". Legally, we are governed by the requirements of the federal government, which is responsible for the risk assessment and evaluation of additives. The Additives Ordinance regulates the permissibility of the various substances and lists areas of application and maximum quantities. Switzerland coordinates its decisions with the international authorities. Should the federal government adapt its recommendations on the use of additives (such as the thickening agent sodium alginate in Délice extra light), Migros will of course comply with them. According to the current assessment of the situation, it is not necessary to do without them.
Nevertheless, we are following the discussion about the use of additives closely. We are constantly working on making our recipes more natural and - wherever possible - reducing or completely eliminating additives. Examining alternatives also has to do with customers' general skepticism towards additives. However, adapting the recipe is not a simple matter and unfortunately does not happen overnight. Irrespective of this, we are keeping an eye on the issue. We hope this look behind the scenes is informative for you. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

The product information says "Not suitable for frying". However, the instructions for preparation state that it can be used for cooking, baking and frying. What is correct now?
I use them for everything. I also freeze them.

Dear Migros team, one more question: Could you please indicate the ratio of rapeseed oil and palm oil, i.e. how much rapeseed oil and how much palm oil is contained? Many thanks for your help and best regards, "Twilight"
Hello Twilight, thank you for your request. We will of course comply with your request. The product contains 13 % rapeseed oil and 11 % palm oil. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Thank you for your reply. Of course I would welcome it if Migros could reduce the palm oil. I would also be happy to accept it if the margarine were a little less hard. Thank you very much.

Does this margarine contain trans fats? Thank you for an answer. Lg, "Twilight"
Hello Twilight, as this margarine contains no hydrogenated fats, trans fatty acids are not an issue with Délice Extra Light aha! trans fatty acids are not an issue. If hydrogenated oil or fat is used in a product, this must be stated in the list of ingredients by law (e.g. "partially hydrogenated sunflower oil" or "hydrogenated rapeseed oil"). If nothing is stated ("rapeseed oil", "sunflower oil"), it is non-hydrogenated fat or oil. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hello M-Infoline team, thank you for your reply. I very much hope that trans fats will soon be banned in Switzerland, as is already the case in other countries. I am relieved that at least this margarine is not affected. Thank you very much.
Hello Twilight, here is another addition on the subject of trans fatty acids that may be of interest to you: Migros does not use partially hydrogenated fats and oils. The reason for this is so-called trans fatty acids, which can be produced during the partial (i.e. incomplete) hardening of fats and oils. Similar to saturated fatty acids, they are considered unfavorable to health as they have a cholesterol-increasing effect. In this context, however, it must be said that modern hardening processes nowadays make it possible to achieve a low trans fatty acid content. In Switzerland, there is a legal requirement that the trans fatty acid content must not exceed 2% (in relation to the fat content). No trans fatty acids are produced when fats and oils are fully hardened. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

I would ask Migros to check whether this fine, light margarine can also be produced in 500 gram packs. I like the margarine and unfortunately it is quickly used up. It would be desirable to offer this product in a 500 g pack, just like "Die Lätta Extra Fit". I am already looking forward to it!
Hello indios, thank you for your message. We will be happy to inform the relevant specialist department about your request. However, we ask for your understanding if we do not implement it immediately or at all. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Is there any new feedback?
Hello indios, thank you for your enquiry about aha! Délice Extra Light. The specialist department has confirmed that a 500 g pack is not planned - we are very sorry. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team
Too bad...

Is this suitable for baking?
Hello Skyshine, thank you for your question. Délice extra Light is a classic low-fat spread and unfortunately not suitable for baking. Alternatives would be Délice half-fat margarine or Sanissa Classic. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

You can freeze them well, always do this.
Dear guest
Thank you for your contribution.
We generally advise against freezing Délice extra light. The low fat content can cause the consistency of the margarine to change during the freezing process.
We look forward to your next visit - see you soon in your Migros!
Best regards from the M-Infoline team

I've never noticed a change. And I always do it this way.
