Dear Migros. When will it be possible for me to bring my own containers to fill with the meat products from the meat counter? This would avoid the use of plastic at the counter.
Kind regards

That would be a great idea, first put a piece of paper on the scales, then weigh the meat and put it in the container. Now the question of where to put the price is sure to come up, and you can guess the answer. On the lid, after scanning at the checkout, it can be removed by the sales clerk.
I don't know whether @sarii_12 's great idea could be implemented. But I think it would be great if you could do it that way. You wouldn't need to make any major changes, would you?

That would be a good idea, but I think it would be rejected for hygiene reasons. Why don't you repack it after the checkout, then you can leave Duden waste in the store.
Such systems already exist in Germany. Then it should also be possible at Migros.
As my aim is not to produce unnecessary waste, your suggestion is not satisfactory for me. If everyone brought their own containers, we could avoid a lot of waste. An alternative would be packaging that is compostable.
Hello@sarii_12
"The Federation of Migros Cooperatives advises against filling pieces of meat into Tupperware that consumers bring with them, as food safety cannot be 100% guaranteed," says Migros spokeswoman A... K.... However, the respective cooperatives could decide independently whether they want to offer this in response to active consumer demand.

Hello everyone
Thank you for the request. The fact is that the food regulations are quite strict. We therefore do not generally recommend using your own tableware to purchase meat and cheese products at the counter. However, the decision is ultimately up to the stores themselves. I therefore recommend that you all ask your favorite store at the counter how they handle this.
We have received a few inquiries about this in recent weeks and the responsible office at the Migros Cooperative Federation has also been informed. We can see that there is a growing demand for this and are looking into it further.
Kind regards

Good evening Migipedia community and community team, sorry if I don't quite agree with you, but don't come to me with "WE HAVE FOOD REGULATIONS"
Of course there are BUT, the REALITY is different...
Gloves are NOT worn everywhere at cheese counters or meat counters.
Cheese touched with bare hands. Meat with bare hands from the meat fork onto the scales.
Meat and cheese sellers do not disinfect their hands after each customer because there is sometimes a long queue. Gloves could at least be OBLIGATORY for EVERYONE. That's why the argument with the food regulations doesn't really count for me. @Dominik_Migros
I think a meat wrapper around the meat or cheese wrapper around the cheese would be brilliant in a Tuperware or something.
Price on the lid or on the meat paper. Not another plastic around it that is certainly not as tight as Tupperware.
Conclusion: less plastic, less effort at the counter would be a win-win situation for the seller and the customer.

Hello Mystery
As I said, there are food regulations and we comply with them. That's not a question of opinion.
But we can see that this is an issue and are currently looking into various options. Unfortunately, for example, we cannot assume that all plastic containers brought in are equally clean. We are looking for a solution to this because we can see that the issue is important to many people.
And it is still best to ask at the counter whether it is possible there.
Kind regards
Dominik
Hello Migipedia community and community team
@Dominik_Migros
Then please make sure that the food regulations are adhered to if they are already so strict. Please tell that to the higher floor. And the media spokesperson shouldn't say such nonsense if she can't see for herself whether they are being adhered to. You can teach everything to those at the top.
As long as that doesn't happen anyway, I see no reason for my own containers that I have washed out.
But if the food regulations are ALWAYS adhered to, I'm happy for you to continue packing.
It's not against you Dominik, it just upsets me when they say such expired cheese on TV. Or written in a newspaper.
Thank you for your understanding

In a consumer program on German television, they showed how to deal with hygiene. The customer puts his Tupperware on a tray, gives it to the butcher, who then puts the meat, sausage, etc. in the Tupperware and gives it back to the customer with the tray. The butcher never touches the Tupper with his hands. This works and the regulations are therefore complied with. - I would also very much welcome that
In this case I would say it sounds good. But please use a meat fork or gloves. Then you'll even get a Like from me.
