New packaging hazelnut bird's nest
Neue Verpackung Haselnuss Vogelnestli
Guest
The hazelnut bird's nests have new packaging. Now you can close them again if you don't like them all at once. This may or may not be a good thing, but in any case they stay fresher in a tin. It now says without preservatives but with natural flavoring. What is so natural about the flavoring that you have to mention it?
The packaging now has something like wrapping paper stuck on, why? Now it is packaged with a composite material that cannot be separated. What's the point of that? Is Migros taking the packaging back so that it can be recycled properly? I think either all paper or all plastic is unnecessary. Or is the new packaging now more sustainable if you can't recycle the wrapping paper?

Dear @deactivated user
Thank you for your message and your feedback. Many customers do indeed appreciate it when packaging can be resealed - I have to admit that I'm a bit of one of them ;-)
However, I can't answer your questions about the composition off the top of my head: I have checked with the experts and will get back to you as soon as I have any news.
Best wishes and have a sunny afternoon

So for me this is confirmation that I haven't been buying biscuits from Migros for a long time. You can hardly find any Migros biscuits without palm oil anyway (even "grandmother's style"...). More environmentally friendly packaging only seems to be of interest if it saves money.

That's all the same to me. It sounds like the expensive coffee where the beans are eaten by the animals and then ground when they come out the back. I don't need that gruesome stuff.
The hazelnut bird's nest should have real hazelnuts and jam in the middle, that's it. You can use real ingredients, they're not that cheap. You don't have to put mushroom stuff in them, it's bad enough that they contain palm oil. The rest can really consist of valuable ingredients and be natural, as it says "with natural flavor". It has nothing to do with natural if you need mold to make Tschernobil jam taste like fruit and Seveso nuts taste like hazelnuts.
But it's starting to seem strange to me that Migros hasn't replied in a week. Do you have to invent the answer first? It can't be that difficult to call the manufacturer and ask what the flavor is all about. Or do they not know exactly what is in the green sauce that they squirt onto the Guezli from yellow barrels from Gösgen?
Now the pack is empty and I still don't know where I can dispose of it, as it is now a composite material. Should I put them in an envelope and send them unstamped to the FMC in Zurich?
Maybe it's still vacation time and the people are understaffed?
Mold is natural, just like Botox and uranium... ;-)
The contents of a used baby diaper are also natural and have a very strong aroma. But that's no reason to put it in biscuits.
But in yogurt. It turns left and right (and turns my stomach), but some people swear by it ;-)
