Hello everyone
I have discovered the antioxidant "potassium metabisulphite" on the pickle jar. Strangely enough, it is not in the small jar, but it is in the large jar. It is also in the jars of gherkins of Swiss origin. Why isn't it in all of them, or why do some of them not contain it?
Hello @Spreewaldgurke
Thank you for your request. I will be happy to clarify your question and get back to you.
Best regards, Nicole

I suspect that it is similar to bread, where flours are used where many additives do not even have to be declared.
Good morning@Spreewaldgurke
Unfortunately, we are not quite sure which products you are talking about. Can you send us an article number, EAN code or a picture?
Kind regards, Nicole

It's funny:

Cornichons (India), alcohol and wine vinegar, iodized table salt, sugar, herbs and spices (with mustard seeds), spice extracts, antioxidant: potassium metabisulphite.

Cornichons (India), water, alcohol and wine vinegar, table salt, sugar, yellow mustard seeds, dried onions, dried tarragon, coriander.
According to the list of ingredients, potassium metabisulphite is not contained in all canned vinegars.
Hello @Lele_01

Hello everyone! Merci @Leke_01, that was exactly the point! Furthermore, potassium metabisulphite is in all Condy Swiss pickles and in the large jars... There is no potassium metabisulphite in the small jars...
Dear@Spreewaldgurke
Thank you for your patience, the clarification took a little longer. The fact is that Migros has two different suppliers of gherkins. As they work with two different recipes, the additive potassium metabisulphite is present in some gherkins and not in others.
Best wishes and have a nice afternoon, Nicole
