My Migros store stopped selling meat on the counter some time ago. Since then, it has been practically impossible for a single-person household to buy meat because all the portions are too big.

I can understand this wish and I would be happy if there were generally packages for 2 people that could also be frozen. Especially with meat, originally frozen meat should not be frozen a second time. I think it's a shame that such meat is labeled with such small print - I would prefer the opposite: a clearly visible logo: "Suitable for freezing".
Hello judoa, I'm sorry that you no longer have an open sale of meat in your store. In most cases, such a decision has to do with the fact that, in the end, more goods had to be disposed of because the demand for open sales in this store was too low. Of course, this means that the whole idea of sustainability no longer applies. However, I would be happy to clarify for you specifically what the reason was in your store. If you wish, please let me know the store. Best regards, Sina

Hello wef17, thank you for your input on the labeling of the goods. We adhere to the legal regulations when labeling food. The label "defrosted, do not refreeze" is required by law. I have passed on the suggestion that you would like a logo that makes it immediately clear that the product is suitable for freezing to the relevant specialist department. The people in charge regularly review our customers' suggestions. Kind regards, Sina

Thank you @M-Infoline for your answer. Nevertheless, I think it's a shame that this legal notice "defrosted, do not refreeze" is so hidden on the packaging. Perhaps it would make sense to also clearly display this notice on the promotional notice board. After all, it's not in Migros' interests for everyone to take out this chilled food - read the text for 10 minutes in the warmth of their room - and then put it back in the wrong place because they had to change location due to the crowd. I only fell in once - now I know that it's worth reading the whole text, especially with promotions and large packs.

Sorry but have a look at Coop, Bern is a big city, it should certainly be there.

I do that too. But there are products that I prefer to buy at Migros. I don't want to go to Coop for those.

Hello Sina Thank you for your feedback. It is the Bern Bethlehem branch, thank you very much
Hello judoa, I have received feedback from the responsible specialist department that the closure of the meat counter at the Bethlehem branch is also due to insufficient demand and the resulting high proportion of spoilage and food waste. Regarding smaller packs: We have to bear in mind that the packaging content and production costs for smaller packs are often not much lower than for standard portions. The small portions are therefore more expensive in comparison, which is why many consumers continue to prefer the usual pack sizes. Because small packs are only ever stocked as an additional offer and the space on our shelves is not infinitely expandable, the demand for these items must be high enough for us to be able to offer them. Kind regards, Sina

Thank you Sina Then I guess I'll say goodbye Migros - even though I like shopping at Migros - and shop at Coop.
Wouldn't the butcher be ideal? Do you have one nearby? You can also get very small quantities of meat there and with less plastic packaging!
