I suffer from lactose intolerance and recently had two severe episodes: * One was triggered by marinated chicken satay skewers (packaged) * The other was triggered by marinated lamb (open sale) As I normally only ate home-made vegetable salads, these two products are the only possible explanation for my severe symptoms following the meal. Is it really necessary? Can't the butchers at Migros really think of anything better than using some industrial ready-made marinades that contain lactose? Please do some research. Many thanks on behalf of all suffering lactose intolerants (after all: "About 5 to 15 % of Europeans cannot tolerate lactose. " (Wikipedia))

Thank you, Traberli for your support. What nonsense! This is not a "medical question", but a question about the ingredient lactose in the two products "Satay" and "Lamb". A pure product question. All thumbs down for M-Infoline.

Gladly c_m_s I thought of the answer to this: Quote "Does it really have to be? Can't the butchers at Migros really think of anything better than using some industrial ready-made marinades that are mixed with lactose?"

Hello c_m_s, I also see it as a pure product question. Do you have a link to this item(s) from the products.migros.ch pages? Is the lactose declared there?
K.a. but could it be that people are not reading correctly again? Why does it have lactose in it? "We do not answer medical questions"??? Because if it has that in it(?) wouldn't it be important for those with an intolerance to know that clearly?
Hello everyone, I was happy to ask our specialist department again. For packaged products, all ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction must be declared. We have the ingredients tested and declared by a laboratory beforehand. Staff must be able to provide information about allergens in open sale items if you explicitly ask for it. For barbecues, we almost exclusively use oil marinades, which consist of oil and a spice mixture. In other words, if they contain lactose, this should also be stated on the packaging. For example, it would then say "spice mix (spices, lactose, etc.)". Neither the chicken satay skewers (packaged) nor the marinated lamb (open sale) contain ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction in lactose-intolerant people. Kind regards, Tabea.
Hello c_m_s I am allergic myself and would like to tell you briefly what I have learned in recent years about the subject of "spices and declaration". Let's start with the term "spices". Wholesalers usually just buy the mixture (or marinade) of different spices and label this as "spices". In principle, however, it should already be declared what it contains and, above all, where it comes from. So the "spices" can come from anywhere CH, EU or non-EU. From non-EU countries they could even be genetically modified, which in turn leads in a completely different direction. But what is even more important for us allergy sufferers is that nobody knows exactly what is in them. In most cases, the biggest culprits such as peanuts, celery, mustard, flour etc. are simply mentioned pro forma, but if you are allergic to something more unusual, you are lost when it comes to the term "spices". So for us allergy sufferers, if the spices are not listed individually, just leave them alone. This also applies to the spice mixes you buy, if the ingredients are NOT listed individually, hands off. I don't want to say that the answer from the Migros Info Line is completely wrong, but I have a split relationship with wholesalers when it comes to allergies and I can tell you why (and I'm getting really angry now) ;-) If Migros could really confirm to you 100% that none of the allergens are in it, they would label it with an aha! seal and top it off with a hefty price increase ;-) Which, and now I have to defend the wholesalers, is also correct (okay, we can discuss some prices ;-) ) You simply must not forget that every step in the production process to make an item allergy-free, be it lactose-free, gluten-free, egg-free etc. simply costs a lot more than conventional production. That's why the rule of thumb is that cheap and allergen-free simply doesn't work! But that's another topic ;-) For this reason, dear*r c_m_s, I can only advise you to avoid industrially marinated meat. Since I have taken this to heart, I always enjoy the summer without an allergy attack. Sunny, allergy-free greetings from Raincloud
