For some time now, Migros products have been completely "reinvented". Very popular and very well-selling products are suddenly being produced by other manufacturers and usually the recipe is also changed. It often happens that they suddenly have a different name (e.g. from Léger to You, etc.). And then the new product is usually no longer delicious or even inedible. Why all this? Why are you - Migros - annoying us like this? We are disappointed, angry and don't understand anything. We then go to Aldi and Lidl and Migros is no longer number 1 for us. Why all this? It's complete nonsense!
Margin, margin and more margin.... It's a real shame. I've already noticed this several times. Migros has long been owned by the managers, not the people.
"Very popular products that are doing very well are suddenly being produced by other manufacturers and the recipe is usually changed too."Which products specifically? And who was the manufacturing company in the past and which is it today?
I would like to know better where the products come from which are described as "Produced for Migros" or something like that, where can you find the information you have? With dairy products, it's all about the stamp, it's even more exciting that for Aldi, for example, Emmi produces Milfina for its own brand.b Emmi produces Milfina for their own brand, at Lidl there is a lot from the Appenzeller Molkerei Forster under the Milbona brand (absolutely recommended, especially the seasonal yoghurt). But with other products it is difficult to find out in Migros, you almost have to be a detective. The "Honey and Nuts" are identical to those from Edeka in Germany, so they must be from the same manufacturer. I'd like it better if it wasn't under a cover, also to know where it comes from, but of course it's clear that's not possible, which is a shame.
@Bodenseeknusperli "Produced for Migros" - examples here too, please: Which products are labeled like that?

There have been countless questions in this forum about products that have disappeared or were gone and then reappeared with a new name and new recipes. The answer from Migros has always been that they have changed manufacturers. And almost all of the products we love will soon be gone.

Quote: "I'd like it better if it wasn't under a cloak, also to know where it's coming from, but of course it's clear that it won't work, which is a shame" Yes, it certainly would. Apparently, that's simply the intention.

Hello everyone, I would like to give you some basic information on this topic. A food is considered to have been produced in a particular country if it has been completely produced or sufficiently processed there. "Sufficiently processed" means that the food retains its characteristic properties. "élaboré en suisse" therefore appears on foods that have been produced here. The ingredients can come from Switzerland, but they do not have to. Migros traditionally labels its products that it manufactures in Switzerland with "élaboré en suisse", which is synonymous with "Made in Switzerland". The decision to label the majority of Migros packaging with the French version of the term was taken many years ago. One reason for this is that the space available on the products is limited. Printing the name in three languages would take up far too much space. On the other hand, French is a national language. Our French-speaking fellow citizens are generally at a disadvantage and have to cope with German expressions - especially on packaging. Migros therefore decided to label the products in French. Migros uses such designations of origin so that our customers can be sure that the products meet certain quality requirements that apply in Switzerland. Many of our customers appreciate this information because they want to know where the products come from. For many products, you will also find information on the origin of the individual ingredients Best regards, Sebastian

@Sebastian_Migros Thank you for these comments, but what does this have to do with the actual topic?
Hello indios Please send me some product examples. Which items do you think have been reinvented? The fact is that our customers' habits and needs are constantly changing and we try to meet these needs whenever possible. However, this also means that we have to constantly adapt our range. Best regards, Heidi
