Hygiene with fruit / vegetables

Hygiene bei den Früchten / Gemüse

Especially in summer, I am always annoyed by the fact that many people "feel" the fruit before they buy it (apricots, peaches, etc.).
I see the following options as a solution to the problem:
a) plastic gloves (ok, it's not very ecological, but if you use the existing fruit bags as "gloves", it's much more hygienic....)
b) similar to a fruit market/butcher's shop, a Migros employee should weigh and pack the fruit/vegetables => it would strengthen the customer-employee relationship and it would also be a useful "occupation" for employees no longer working at the checkouts (keyword Subito).

Many thanks and best regards

Hihihi super ?
Seriously?
I've just read that so many people are quitting. And thanks to the "great" Subito, there's less staff anyway...

Sorry, really? If you want personal service with human contact, you should go to a small village store. Or at the weekly market...?

Hee that's a supermarket. That is and always has been the case!
Name me a supermarket where it's different?

I would be happy if the customers in the open sale would use the shovel with the dried fruit.
So far I've only seen some who use it, but who knows...?

And I watched a program from Germany. That's unhygienic. It was about milk, beef, but that made me think of turkey meat...

@ Migros meat from the EU is gruuuusig. Are there enough controls? So from the fattening stable and the goods themselves? What came out of there was nasty, it was in the milk of the cattle. The conditions were like Hefenhofen on a grand scale. It was the worst cruelty to animals.

Hello @fantiboby, thank you for your input.Migros has no national guidelines on the distribution of gloves in open sales. Depending on the region, it is nevertheless possible to use such disposable gloves in the stores. Fresh fruit and vegetables are naturally grown products that do not have a germ-free surface. We generally recommend washing fruit/vegetables and peeling them if necessary. In addition to the hygiene aspect, there is also the problem of bruising. We cannot counteract this even with gloves. The opposite is the case: a glove can be an incentive to pick up several different pieces of fruit or vegetables and put them back again. This is not conducive to the quality of the products. We have reported your suggestion that an employee should weigh and return the goods to the product managers. They will look into this. Kind regards, Heidi

Hi @Traberli, we are pleased that you are concerned about animal welfare. This is also important to us. We source all our fresh turkey meat from producers who manufacture the goods in accordance with the strict Swiss animal welfare regulations. The standard in the countries of origin goes even further: the turkeys not only have significantly more space, but also access to an outdoor climate area. Our suppliers are audited annually by an independent Swiss certification organization. The entire value chain is checked. From the barn to the slaughterhouse to the finished product. This is how we ensure that we receive the right products. Best regards, Heidi

Migrosbesitzer--

Haha - annually and presumably with advance notification of date and time
And then by an independent body - you've just heard how it works with independent MSC fisheries: Bribery, threats, etc.

Dear Migros owner no, it's much easier in Germany: self-check!
The question is whether Migros will do it or check it themselves.
I really hope so.

Current Panorama Today 12.9.19
There is currently NO new ANTIBIOTIC being researched, developed or produced. There was a start-up (not anymore!!!) that developed a new antibiotic.
Well, nobody wanted it.
There are currently no NEW antibiotics. The reserves are gone! And the future will be bad - many will die from resistant germs. That's already the case. It's difficult to fight germs.
