At Rewe in Germany, all gluten-free products on the shelf are marked with a small colored flag (also lactose-free products). This makes shopping much easier. I think this is a great idea. It would also be possible in Migros stores!

Migros uses the green/white aha symbol (https://produkte.migros.ch/label/aha).
That is correct. However, it is very tedious to look for the symbol everywhere. It is also very easy to confuse it with the organic symbol. With small flags on the shelves (similar to Rewe Germany), a great deal of transparency could be achieved with very little effort.
To be fair, all "special" products should then have a little flag on the rack, gluten-free, lactose-free, a note about nut allergies, fish or celery intolerance, a note about pork, vegi, vegan... Flags upon flags, would look funny, I want a palm oil free flag with a happy animal from the jungle on it yay😃 But too bad Migros gives zero feedback, for weeks muohh I'm sorry😑
This is not about having everything full of "flags". It is not about "fads" but primarily about gluten intolerance (coeliac disease) and lactointolerance. Hundreds of thousands of people in Switzerland are affected. Better labelling could really make their lives easier. Rewe Germany is leading the way without making things confusing. The "gluten-free" label is also very easy to confuse with the organic label. There is an urgent need for action here.

You're right, the organic label and the aha label at Migros look very similar...

The main thing is that it looks like in Germany.... ;-) then you don't have to get used to it. Seriously - I can only agree with @Bodenseeknusperli. Long live the diversity in Switzerland - even within the Migros cooperatives in Switzerland! - because the same argument could be used by French and Italian-speaking customers in Switzerland: Oops, we want it like in France or Italy - and in the whole of Switzerland. I hope for understanding for our federal mentality !

Sorry, it has nothing to do with Switzerland-Germany. I just think it's a good idea.
Okay, that's right, we'll leave out fads like you call them, even if it's very difficult for many people to find their products. People can't have flags! Bye bye no palm oil, but there would only have been a few anyway, so what the heck😋 So let's stick to the FOOD-CONDITIONAL ones: nuts and sesame, fish/crustaceans, sulphur dioxide ubd sulphites, celery, egg. Oh, and fruit makes my throat swell. Gluten and lactose are very unpleasant to eat, are they life-threatening? Lupins, mustard, soy, and there are a few more, but you have to clarify who deserves it and who doesn't. I don't know everything, I just don't want anyone to feel left out. If you're standing at the shelf and your intolerance/allergy isn't important enough for the store, how nasty😥
Sorry, you can only see everything in a negative light and ridicule it. It works perfectly at another major distributor. How about an on-site visit there?

I assume you mean Coop? That's right, Coop labels its own products with the "free from" label, which is actually more visible than the "aha" symbol.
Huh? What's wrong with you, I don't mean it in a negative or ridiculous way. I have an honest interest in the subject. Why are people always so nasty when you talk normally? Where do you read out what you accuse me of, read again without this anti attitude thanks. Jesus. I'll just leave it alone. My goodness :/
Take your time to read your post again...... notice?
No Indios what, please explain it to me. It's just that, how mean is it to exclude someone just because theirs isn't so "popular", why can't you be neutral about it? :/ I even conceded that you can leave out fashion stuff and withdrew my wish. But imagine everyone gets help but you. So dear Indios, please explain to me what I don't realize, but please read my messages with neutral interest and solution-oriented what you could do so that everything goes well. Nothing negative or anything like that. Thank you. Addendum: I'm not really attacking, but sometimes I get tired when everyone feels immediately attacked when you seriously just think about how and what should be considered. And then you'd rather give up and say I'll just leave it. So that nobody is bothered. Njoh.
Seems (unfortunately) somehow familiar to me...
