Farmer Sport

Guest

Dear Migros Team, I am an ambitious cross-country skier and also take part in competitions. Before every competition I eat a Farmer Sport bar, which has often helped me to win! And of course, Farmer Sport is also a must during training! But when I recently wanted to eat a Farmer Sport before training, I was totally horrified! The bar looked different to usual, tasted artificial and the consistency was rubbery. I didn't dare swallow the bar. I then bought a new pack, but the bars were no better - what on earth had happened?

Probably the same as with the Farmer Apple, here is the link to the thread: https://migipedia.migros.ch/de/forum/farmer-apfel-soft?backtoboard=q%3Dfarmer%20apfel%26p%3D1%26sort%3Dlast_activity I suspect the reason is the same as with the Farmer Apple (see M-Infoline's response in the linked thread): "We have decided to have the Farmer cereal bars produced by our own Migros industry, Midor to be precise." And: "Due to the growing customer demand to offer an alternative to palm oil, we have also decided to produce the Farmer bar with sunflower oil." Like the Farmer Apple, the Farmer Sport contains sunflower oil and Migros presumably also has it produced by Midor (as will probably be the case with all other Farmer bars in the future)... The new Farmer Apple obviously doesn't taste good to many (I think the same is now the case with the Farmer Sport); Migros promised in its response in the same thread: "We are currently working flat out to make improvements so that the bar will soon taste at least as good as before. We are very grateful for your feedback." I really hope that not all the "new" Farmer bars will taste as disgusting as the Farmer apple, because then I'll have to go and buy the bars from the competition... I've always been a huge fan of these Farmer bars, but the "new" ones have really been made worse. I don't like the taste of them any more, the old ones were definitely better. I really hope Migros can work things out with the new producer so that the Farmer bars taste as/similar to how they used to.

Hello ThatsNotMyName, thank you for your message. I'm sorry that the bar no longer suits you. As a long-distance runner in particular, you need an energy boost. Smartcoyote is right. I can only confirm the statements: We are now making the products without palm oil. This is something that is currently affecting the taste, but not to everyone's satisfaction. We are currently working on a solution that will allow us to improve this. However, we still need a little time for this, so please be patient. Kind regards, Tabea
