Margarine without palm oil?

Margarine ohne Palmöl?

Dear Migros team
There is a constant debate about the sense and nonsense of palm oil in food and other everyday products. The fact that rainforest areas are constantly being sacrificed for our insatiable greed is suppressed by everyone - and alternatives are not considered "sexy". Even with a small product like margarine, there seems to be no escape from palm oil. But stop! The competition (the logo is also orange) has something like this! Rama without palm oil, well, apparently it does work! Why not at Migros? Isn't that "green" enough?
Kind regards

Hello @MoserMN

Thank you for your contribution. We have had a margarine without palm oil in our range for over a year, namely the aha! coconut margarine (article 2044.700).

I hope you like it.

Best regards, Angela

It's not just about margarine. I wanted to buy another delicious Guerzli from Migros today. But they're not so good any more - palm oil/fat is everywhere. There are practically no edible items left in Migros that don't contain this unhealthy oil. I'm boycotting all these products. It is unacceptable that the major distributors are enriching themselves at the expense of consumers and putting consumer health at risk. We can do without all these additives, which in my opinion are unnecessary, such as E407 carrageenan, found in various milk products or toothpastes. I am prepared to pay more if healthy ingredients are used in the production of food.

It is simply not possible to do without palm oil. The production of other oils is massively more complex and less productive.

In addition, palm oil is an important flavor point. You can remember where Zweifel switched to rapeseed oil instead of sunflower oil and the complaints that came up. I don't want to know what the complaints will be with all these articles.

I would also like to see the nutrition plan of all the hypocritical palm oil commentators (especially on the news pages and not you). The main thing is to grumble about palm oil, but then eat avocados. Which uses a lot of water and is transported all over the world.

Of course there should be tough and strict controls on palm oil production and harvesting...especially not to displace people....

@EEnergyPalm oilis tasteless and odorless. It is possible to do without palm oil without any problems (I have been living palm oil-free for years). Migros & Co. are only interested in being cheap.

Well, back then people still baked and fried with plenty of butter and lard (which, by the way, tastes excellent).
At some point 20-30 years ago, certain people started to protest against animal (and hydrogenated vegetable) fats, and they were increasingly replaced by palm oil. In the early 2000s, it was even sometimes advertised on the packaging - without animal fats. The fact that palm oil is cheaper is certainly also a not entirely undesirable side effect ...

In the case of margarine, the tried and tested alternative without palm oil can be found right next to it: Butter.

Bake your own bread, then you know what's in it. Or buy it from the bakery...that way you support small businesses in the long term.

So. I stumble across the ancient article... Online it would be no problem to put the margarine WITHOUT palm fat. Please. You can find it everywhere in the store? Too bad, too bad...
