Good day
As a consumer of probiotic yoghurts, I have a question for you: I recently noticed that Migros Bifidus now only claims to be "for daily consumption" and not, like Danone and LC1, to have a positive effect on digestion. Now, however, I see on the Migros Bifidus yoghurt packaging again "Supports digestion", but on the drinks still "for daily consumption". May I ask whether the two products differ in that the claim has only been confirmed for the yoghurts? Has this been confirmed by the Zurich Food Control Office and/or the FOPH, and if so, since when? Could you also tell me where I can find out more about this, is there a way to view the studies? Thank you very much for your help, which will certainly help my work on probiotic claims enormously.

Dear yogurt lover
I have forwarded your request internally. I hope to be able to provide the answers to your questions as quickly as possible so that nothing stands in the way of your work on probiotic claims.
Kind regards,
Silvia
Dear yogurt lover
I'm pleased that I can now answer your questions. The fact is that the claim was already on the drinks and yogurts. However, the claims had to be re-approved. For this reason, the claim "For daily enjoyment" has been added to the drinks and yogurts in the meantime. Since August, we have received approval for the yogurt claim again. The procedure for drinks is still ongoing. The competent authority does not publish any studies, but you may be able to view the studies you require at the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH).
I wish you every success with your work. Kind regards, Silvia
