Hi indios, thank you for your comment. You will find the strawberry promotion correctly listed both in the app and on our website. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

No, they are not in the app!

Not for me either: the Swiss strawberries are not loaded in the Migros app either

I'm not interested in your know-it-all attitude and I'm not asking you either

I don't know what kind of problem you have... what with "works or is not loaded for me either... is know-it-all, lacks any normal logic for me... So really, better log out than behave so childishly.



I merely pointed out that the strawberries are not loaded for me either...

Hello indios, thank you for your patience. We still owe you an answer; please excuse the late response. Apparently not all of the cooperatives involved in the campaign had posted it. As a result, some of the offers were not displayed online. The relevant departments have been made aware of the issue. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello Urson, thank you for your message. We appreciate you drawing our attention to potential improvements. In order to clarify your concerns with the relevant specialist department, we would ask you to let us know your purchasing region. We look forward to your feedback. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hi Urson It's great that you're concerned about food waste. We are also concerned about this issue and were happy to discuss your message with our fruit and vegetable department. Thanks to the warm weather, this year's strawberries have grown very early and in large quantities in a relatively short space of time. In the case of strawberries, there is more of a decline in quality than a decline in caliber in the second class. In addition, the caliber of this fruit can be easily controlled by the producers, the strawberries are then simply picked later. As a rule, there tends to be a shortage of Swiss strawberries, which is why they are rarely picked too early. We have long-standing partnerships with our Swiss producers and are constantly reviewing temporary calibre adjustments. We hope we have helped you with this answer and wish you a wonderful summer. your M-Infoline team

Dear guest
Thank you for taking the time to write to us.
We understand your displeasure - however, Migros sees it as its task to cover the needs and wishes of a wide range of customers. In winter, most of the fruit and vegetables available from Switzerland are stored, so fresh strawberries and asparagus, for example, are a welcome change from the rest of the imported range from southern Europe.
However, Migros is making its usual efforts to meet these wishes in the most sustainable way possible. We work intensively on life cycle assessments and take the issue of sustainability very seriously. That is why we work closely with internal specialist departments and also with Climatop(www.climatop.ch) in these areas.
In fact, Migros has the principle of always sourcing a product from the geographically closest destination. If a product is in season in Switzerland and there is sufficient local produce available, we naturally source our products from Switzerland. It is not without reason that Migros is an important partner of Swiss agriculture and also endeavors to ensure that the entire domestic production can be marketed.
We hope this information has been helpful and wish you a good day.

I have been frequently indulging in strawberries (and blueberries) at "inopportune times" for a few weeks now and will continue to do so in future. Bad conscience: yes, but I now know that people who criticize do not consume more sustainably overall. Examples: highly processed products with out-of-season raw materials from xy, all animal products, non-fairtrade chocolate, coffee, tropical fruit, etc. - I completely do without these "sins". It is not possible to cover and weigh up all aspects such as ecological balance, human rights, animal rights, etc. I hope Swiss berries will arrive soon and I will get my own little plants. Until then, I trust Migros to at least import the berries as sustainably as possible. Kind regards, "Twilight"

>>Until then, I trust Migros to at least import the berries as sustainably as possible<<
I also trusted Migros with the children's clothes and they still found a lot of poison in them!
Trust is a big word for a company that complains to customers about foreign purchases and has its own printed matter and new solar panels manufactured/assembled by Germans...........
We are not in Twilight Fairy Tale Land..........

@Gast: Yes, that's right. 100 percent sustainable consumption is not a reality, an illusion, a fairy tale. What alternatives do I have if I give up animal products, tropical fruits and virtually everything processed by the food industry? Swiss carrots, sauerkraut, celery and apples (although the ecological balance of stored apples is miserable) cannot feed me. And in the case of strawberries from Thurgau, cases of exploitation of Polish women are also on record. Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to grow my own garden. Just write down all the food you consume in a week. We are "beyond good and evil": we would be better people without people... (Michael Schmidt-Salomon). PS: Twilight is not a fairytale land.

@Twilight,
shouldn't it be "without morals the better people ..."? %-)
This year I've been grabbing berries every time I've gone shopping. Last Tuesday, four blueberries and ten strawberry punnets were brought home, which, apart from the ones that were eaten straight away, were refined. I brought my wife a blueberry pie and with the neighbors I ate strawberries with whipped cream.
I can only smile about ecology and the so-called eco-freaks, because for me they are just freeloaders who hear and parrot something but don't do anything themselves. My neighbors, who also live nature-oriented lives and garden organically, as far as you can next to a cantonal road, told me during a conversation about ecology and economy. "The way you live, you can consume imported fruit and vegetables every day and your eco-balance is still impressive!"
Who produces their own electricity, heats with their own wood, uses rainwater for bath, shower, toilet, laundry, doesn't drive 4,000 km a year in a vehicle with energy efficiency A? ° °

@Istanbul: Yes, according to Schmidt-Salomon "without morals the better people", according to Twilight "without people...". I am convinced that your ecological balance would also look better than average if you consumed several kilos of berries every day. After several failed attempts, I've realized that I've reached my personal pain threshold when it comes to berries, cucumbers, kohlrabi, spinach and papayas :-/. I need these foods en masse almost all year round, despite the ecological, social and financial costs... I try to avoid other "superfluities", e.g. three to six new items of clothing a year are enough for me, I get my brother's old cell phone as a Christmas present, I never go on vacation abroad anyway, nothing animal-based. And primarily, when available, I eat fresh Swiss plants, of course, from Migros a.d.R., the weekly market, the vegetable farmer next door, Tropenhaus Wohlhusen (papayas) and my mini garden. I'm probably one of those "wannabe eco-freaks" too? In any case, tomorrow I'll be buying one of many long-awaited baskets of berries at Migros ;-). Kind regards, "Twilight"

We are sorry that the taste quality of the Swiss strawberries has given cause for complaint.
Migros strives to offer its customers strawberries that are as ripe and tasty as possible throughout the season. Unfortunately, due to changing weather conditions and temperature fluctuations in production, we are not always able to do this optimally.

In the week in which you bought the deglazed strawberries, the changeover from imported strawberries to Swiss strawberries took place. We always try to keep this changeover phase as short as possible, as the varieties grown in Spain and Italy differ greatly from those in Switzerland in terms of taste, firmness and appearance.

However, the tasting results you reported back surprised us. Compared to other countries, significantly tastier strawberry varieties are grown in Switzerland and the transport routes are shorter, which means that the fruit can be harvested even more ripe, so Swiss berries should actually have an excellent taste. The rule is: the more transportable the berry, the firmer and less flavorful its flesh.

Strawberries do not ripen after harvesting, regardless of their origin and variety. As demand is always very high at the beginning of the Swiss harvest period, the reason for the poorer taste of Swiss strawberries may be that they were simply harvested a little too early, while the imported strawberries were perfectly ripe. Rainfall and temperature fluctuations can also cause the strawberries to absorb moisture and thus lose their flavor. Unfortunately, you can't tell the taste of the strawberries from the outside. We do carry out sugar measurements and random taste tests on incoming goods, but unfortunately this does not cover the entire quantity delivered. We are sorry that this deviating item was not recognized.

It is in our own interest to offer only products of outstanding quality. The berry producers and the Berry Cultivation and Variety Office have been informed of the report. We have intensified our checks on the intrinsic qualities of the strawberries as part of our incoming goods department with immediate effect. Your M-Infoline team

Hello guest
Migros' mission is to supply the Swiss population with high-quality products. It also has to meet needs and wishes. For many consumers today, these imports are a matter of course and important. Products that do not meet a need are not bought and automatically disappear from the shelves.
Migros has been grappling with this issue for years. It is well known that certain products are simply only available from abroad because they cannot be harvested in Switzerland or can only be harvested seasonally. We import fruit and vegetables from abroad so that we can offer our customers the best possible range all year round. It would be very difficult to satisfy customer needs with exclusively Swiss products because the variety of products would be severely limited.
Quality, price, availability and production methods play a central role in purchasing so that we can offer our customers products at the best price/performance ratio. These requirements are based on the specifications of the ILO (International Labor Organization) and the UN. We see it as our duty to always clearly declare the origin of our products. In this way, our customers can decide for themselves whether they want to buy products from Spain or from another region.
Best regards from the M-Infoline team
