Because the Swiss legal code stipulates it (as does EU law:)
In Switzerland, non-alcoholic drinks may contain up to 0.5% alcohol by volume. This means that even drinks labeled as "alcohol-free" can have a low residual alcohol content. However, this residual alcohol is usually so low that it has no noticeable effect on the body.
But if you want zero... you should drink the 0.0-% beers
A ripe banana also has a low alcohol content...

Why is Migros allowed to sell Feldschlösschen beer despite its alcohol content?
At first I thought that "alcohol-free" and "without alcohol" were the same thing. But now I know that only "without alcohol" actually contains no alcohol. So isn't Migros breaking its own rule of "no alcoholic drinks" in the supermarket?
Hello Schmassi, Migros sticks to its rule of not selling alcoholic drinks in its supermarkets. However, there is a clear definition of what is considered "alcohol-free":
According to the legal requirements in Switzerland, a beer that contains a maximum of 0.5 % alcohol may be labeled "alcohol-free". This regulation is also applied by Migros. Feldschlösschen beer with an alcohol content of 0.5 % or less therefore falls into the category of non-alcoholic beverages and does not contravene Migros' own regulations.
Difference between "alcohol-free" and "without alcohol":
Alcohol-free: May contain traces of alcohol, in Switzerland up to a maximum of 0.5 %.
Without alcohol: Actually contains 0.0 % alcohol.
Migros only sells non-alcoholic beers (max. 0.5 % alcohol) and no drinks that exceed this limit. This means that the "no alcoholic drinks in supermarkets" rule is upheld. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team

Erdinger, Eichhof (Heineken) and Feldschlösschen (Carlsberg): Why not try a Swiss beer brand? They taste even better than these 0815 piss beers.
Dear stecki Eichhof and Feldschlösschen are both Swiss beer brands ;-) It's true that taste is debatable. However, our range is already well utilized in this area, which is why we have decided not to expand it. Best regards and cheers anyway! Your M-Infoline team
You know very well that Feldschlösschen and Eichhof are NO longer Swiss beers, but belong to the large corporations mentioned above.

Dear Migipedia team...
I've been saddened (sad, annoyed, slightly soured) for years that you at Migros (the masters of non-alcoholic beverages, mind you) don't have a single decent non-alcoholic beer. These, for example, are good: Sonnwendlig Leermond Brewdog Nanny State Clausthaler Jever It would also be a good time, as Coop has just taken all the decent non-alcoholic beers off the shelves (they only have one left: Feldchlösschen). When can we expect a better beer selection? Kind regards... C.
Hello blauewelt Thank you for your feedback. As we all know, tastes differ. We are aware that we cannot satisfy every taste with our selection. Our range of non-alcoholic beer is currently well exhausted with the Erdinger, Eichhof and Feldschlösschen brands. We are therefore not planning to introduce another brand. However, we will be happy to keep your suggestion pending so that we can incorporate it into the next revision of our range. Kind regards from the M-Infoline team
