Migros organic label worse than the "Bud" organic Suisse label?

Migros Bio-Label schlechter als das „Knospe“-Bio-Suisse Label?

Until now, I always thought that the

- label
was fundamentally worse
than the

label?

Now I see that Migros sources all domestic products from Bud farms that are subject to the Bio-Suisse guidelines. (For foreign products, however, only the EU requirements apply. These differ significantly from the Bio-Suisse guidelines).

Now I ask myself, why doesn't Migros use the more popular "Bud" label for all domestic products?

It would be "proof" that Swiss Migros organic products are no worse than Coop Naturaplan organic Bud products from Switzerland.

Because without the "Bud" label, many people probably assume that domestic Migros organic products are subject to less stringent regulations.

@ivan92Iagree with you.

From my point of view, it would be easier if Migros
use the Bud logo for organic products from Switzerland = Bud products from at least
Bud products made from at least 90 % Swiss raw materials. That way the declaration would be clear and people would know that Migros also has 1st class organic Bud products.

Migros could then still use its own Migros Bio label for the "poorer" organic products (or mixed products).

From my point of view, there would be more transparency and "former" Coop customers or "future" Migros customers would realize, aha, you can also buy Bud at Migros. The way it is handled now is a "joke" from my point of view, as Migros uses the same "high" standard as "Bud" for domestic Swiss products, but does not declare this. I also used to think that Migros only sold "inferior" organic goods, until I realized that Swiss Migros organic products are just as good as products with the certified Bud label.

I would also prefer this for reasons of transparency!

Sali JuleZH The people responsible have told me that they are constantly reviewing the use of external labels - at the moment, however, they are also sticking to the private label strategy for the guidelines. We are pursuing the goal of achieving greater transparency for our customers and are looking for possible solutions on a daily basis. Best regards, Silvia

Migros has finally realized this and is switching to the Bio Suisse standard for Migros Bio (without Alnatura etc.) or at least intends to do so: https://corporate.migros.ch/de/story/migros-stellt-auf-knospe-um

Yes, Migros has switched to the Bud organic label. However, I have read that it will probably abandon the Bud label again in future due to the savings.
