NEW: Leger desserts

NEU: Leger-Desserts

I think it's cool that there are new Leger desserts (mini cream slices, Swedish cake cups and an apricot cup). It's just a shame that there is no nutritional information on these products of all things. Especially people who buy such "healthy" products are very interested in the composition and ingredients?
Thanks for the update!

Yes, yes, written small on a "dot" would fit. Doesn't have to be big - those who want to know will search ;-)

Really?
The one who wanted to know didn't find the corner to open...

Not everything you want is so easy. Shall I list you the laws, regulations and annexes that contain the labeling of packaging!
The same principle with the fold-out labels also applies to Sélection products and many other items, such as Burt's Bees, Potz and many more.
@deactivated user
The product must be labeled in at least one official national language.

Thank you for the information.

I am happy to believe you that the legislation is as you write.

But I doubt that Migros would go to the trouble of publishing the information in only one official language for a product that is to be sold in all regions, because the reactions from the "neglected" language areas would simply be too great.

I can understand the space problem and the legal requirements, but I also find these hinged labels unfavorable, as Kathrin has already pointed out, especially with this product line.
Is there a regulation for these Swedish/apricot cups that stipulates that the contents of the cup must be visible from practically all sides? If I understand this correctly, the dessert cups are comparable in size to yoghurt cups, so that - excluding a corresponding regulation - a wrap-around packaging with openly visible information would seem possible (?)
@Istanbul, @Mathomas: Thanks for the information in any case, I didn't know that this 'pop-up principle' was already used for several products...

Good point! I don't know if there is a regulation on this. But when I think about it, there are actually some differences between yogurt and dessert cups. The majority of Coop's "Coupelle" cups, for example, are also transparent, i.e. they largely dispense with opaque labeling, and also have a semi-circular lid. In my opinion, it also makes sense to package desserts and yogurts differently. If desserts were packaged in the same way as yogurts, the objection would surely be raised all the time: "I thought it was yogurt!"

Dear Istanbul, I just wanted to playfully suggest a seemingly simple solution.
I am aware that Burt's Bees, Potz and others also have fold-out labels. But I don't think these products can be compared with food. I consider the composition of what I put in my mouth to be more important than what I need to clean myself or put on my lips ;-)
I can imagine - conditions à la USA: desserts packaged like yogurts could result in lawsuits: "I was on a diet and wanted to eat a light yogurt and certainly not a heavy yogurt. Because of your misleading packaging, I've now gained weight instead of losing it" *hihi* *fun*

@Mathomas: Good point
- and remarkable verb: "bebechern"-:)
In fact, the "délifit cups" also have such sparsely labeled, transparent packaging. With regard to a possible regulation in this regard, I could imagine that the shelf life (yoghurts have a significantly longer shelf life than such patisserie or fruit cups) plays a role here. The "objections" anticipated by you and Kathrin should of course not be underestimated.

I also thought about the shelf life requirement and I think I remember reading about something similar - although it's possible that this was in a different product category.

It occurred to me that there are still yoghurts that are sold in transparent tubs, such as the M-Budgets or those from the Neff dairy in Wald ZH, which are sold in the GMZ as CoR products.

In addition to providing information, the cardboard liner on yogurts certainly also serves to protect the product from light, but mainly to reinforce the plastic cup (stability), which can be kept as thin as possible thanks to the recyclable cardboard.

So, dear Maripac, today I took the plunge ;-)
The Swedish mug contains 165 calories, the apricot mug 110 and the cream slice 120 ;-)
