do fruit and vegetables really always have to look immaculate? we live in a time of abundance. a lot of times apples that have a bit of scab, carrots that haven't grown straight, potatoes, cucumbers etc. that don't meet the standard are thrown away even though the quality is good. couldn't you offer a separate rack for such goods at slightly lower prices?
Hello lupocanis, thank you very much for your post. In principle, we attach great importance to the quality and size specifications of our fruit. However, certain fluctuations are of course possible. We are also prepared to temporarily adjust our specifications in favor of the products in the event of harvest problems - for example, we have sold apricots damaged by hail as class II apricots. We also divide apples and pears into class I and II. Nevertheless, our customers tend to buy the flawless products in the known size. We process some of the other products into jam and we make animal feed or eco-gas from produce that cannot be used as food. Kind regards, Luisa
thanks for the answer. i'm glad that they continue to recycle so many products that are not quite up to standard or have fallen victim to the storm. what amazes me, however, is the behavior of consumers. everything cries out for environmentally friendly behavior, but some people think that everyone else should do it. i've been buying almost everything, be it building materials, food, etc., at migro for ten years now and i'm very pleased with the development in the effort to ensure the sustainability of products and to take the environment into account.

@lupocanis Migros does indeed offer fruit, vegetables and other foods at reduced prices (with the new orange barcode). The whole thing is just a bit hidden and is not necessarily noticed by non-regular customers.
I also believe that legal requirements do not allow this everywhere, even if the food is absolutely edible. I also believe that Migros not only wants to offer this discreetly, but also wants to limit the quantities so as not to give the impression of a "two-tier store".
,@marcoti, well, with a few exceptions, i buy everything at migros, including products that are offered at a reduced price. unfortunately, the law for food often stands in the way of good ideas. i personally can't understand the second-class store. migros is huge and diverse, i.e. it offers a lot of fresh and first-class goods, so that even if there were a little more that is sold at a reduced price, the quantity would hardly matter. consumers would have to rethink a little more. have a nice day.
