Just as there is the Léger line for less fat in the products, I think a line with less sugar would be great. These products should also differ in taste from others, i.e. be less sweet. Possible products could include yogurts, muesli, cocktails, fruit juices, etc.
Just read an article about Nestlé in the Financial Times, very highly recommended. Well written. They were rated using the Australian rating system (should be seen as a model, the other rating systems are based on this). Oh wonder on average 60% 👎 ice cream/sweets 99% 👎 (Logical... ) Coffee is also bad... Nestlé is working on it and wants to adapt some things to the new wishes of customers for healthy food. I'm curious and hope it will be really good.
Do you have a link to the FT article? Or is it only available to subscribers and only in paper form? I would also be interested.
Do you mean the Nestle article? Google something like: "Nestle unhealthy" It recently went through all the news portals with dozens of reports (I just thought to myself "Achwaaas neeein jetzt saaaein aber auch woow hammer News" with a wink) Guaranteed free to read would probably be here https://www.blick.ch/wirtschaft/nestle-gibt-in-einem-internen-dokument-zu-wir-verkaufen-vor-allem-ungesunde-lebensmittel-id16561098.html However, I had to laugh heartily at the Migros magazine cover story "ohne Zucker Experiment", tjaaa there you suddenly find little in Migros. With an M to "Dörfs es bitzeli *M*ehr Zucker si?" 😁
So people... if you want to lose weight, there are lots of products you can eat. Then you can also eat stuff that is heartier. The important thing is a calorie deficit... I see no reason to launch another line for this.

That's your view now..............we have a different one...........

Unfortunately only with subscription. 😟

Migros does not necessarily have to launch a new line, but could instead "adapt" the Leger line accordingly (less fat, less sugar).
Hello waeflerc, thank you for your contribution. In most Léger products, the calorie reduction was achieved through fat reduction, but there were also some with less carbohydrates/sugar, or a combination of both. A special sugar-reduced line is not currently planned, but Migros is aware of its responsibility with regard to food recipes and is constantly working on recipe improvements in its own-brand range. This involves defining various selected product ranges in which, for example, a reduction in sugar is being targeted and implemented (e.g. sugar reduction in yogurts and cereals, etc.). In addition, there are already many products in our wide range with no added sugar, e.g. muesli & cereals with no added sugar, dairy products with no added sugar, chocolate with no added sugar. You can find an overview here. Kind regards, Luisa
Hi Luisa I think it's a good thing that you can filter the product catalog according to the "No added sugar" label. But what exactly does the label mean (no household sugar, not sweetened with any sweeteners containing sugar (i.e. not with honey, agave syrup, date syrup, etc.),...)? What criteria are used to set the label? I ask because I am surprised by the following examples: Lilibiggs corn waffle (ingredients: corn, sea salt): with label, but Alnatura corn waffles nature (ingredients: corn): without label Oh! Cottage Cheese Nature: with label, but M-Classic Cottage Cheese Nature: without label Bifidus yoghurt 0% blueberry: with label M-Classic yoghurt strawberry léger: without label Oh! High Protein strawberry: with label M-Classic Skyr blueberry: without label

Hello folio, thank you for your feedback. Migros offers a wide range of products without added sugar. Many of these items carry a corresponding claim on the packaging, which can be filtered online using the "No added sugar" label you mentioned (https://produkte.migros.ch/label/ohne-zuckerzusatz). Of course, there are also numerous products without added sugar, but they do not carry a corresponding claim. The claim "No added sugar" is only printed on products where it is assumed that this is relevant for the purchase decision. For some of the products you mentioned (e.g. M-Classic Yoghurt Erdbeer léger, M-Classic Skyr Heidelbeere), the addition of the "no added sugar" claim has already been discussed or the packaging will be supplemented with the claim in future. Important: Our "no added sugar" products differ greatly in their composition. They are not sweetened with granulated sugar or other sweetening ingredients such as honey, glucose syrup or agave syrup. Nevertheless, most of them naturally contain various types of sugar, for example from fruit, milk or cereals. Only products labeled as "sugar-free" contain no sugar at all. These are mainly found in confectionery (tooth-friendly chewing gum, sugar-free sweets) and drinks (low-calorie sweet drinks). The sweetness of sugar is often replaced by sweeteners such as aspartame or xylitol, or by a higher fruit content in the product. However, some products actually taste less sweet. So there is something in this range for everyone who wants to avoid added sugar. Best regards, Noemi

Hi Noemi Thanks for the detailed answer. It would have been practical if the label had been a real filter criterion and said more than where Migros prints what on the packaging. As it is, it is useless to me. The label is "only" a (perfectly legitimate) marketing tool for Migros. It's no good for customers looking for products (at least not for me).
