I try to buy Swiss products whenever possible ++often the small emblem is printed on the product and helps immediately - I find it difficult with fruit and vegetables, where it usually says see packaging and somewhere in font size 6 where the product comes from. That works better. Couldn't you just write the country of production on the price tables, that would be easier - it's impossible with budget products. I really like the cottage cheese and mozzarella from M-Budget, for example. But I couldn't find out whether they were made from Swiss milk. That is important to me. I'd be glad of an answer. And for the future, I hope that either the coat of arms will be printed on them or not, or preferably I would always have a coat of arms/logo: Switzerland-Europe-World. I'm curious.

Does not answer your question but may be interesting for you to read how the declaration is made and which ones with the Swiss cross do not necessarily have to contain only Swiss ingredients https://migipedia.migros.ch/de/forum/herkunft-unklar-elabore-en-suisse?backtoboard=q%3DHerkunft%26p%3D1%26sort%3Dlast_activity&p=1
thanks, exciting yes. the barcode also provides information, but that is such tedious work. i wish you didn't have to look at all, because it would always come from the region if possible. remain wishful thinking.
Hello karin253 Your comment is with the relevant authorities. As soon as I find out more, I will get back to you. best regards Angela
Hello karin253 In the case of fruit and vegetables, the origin is written on the shelf (board) if the item is on sale. If the item is packaged, the origin is stated on the packaging, as there may be different origins for the same product. We have passed on your comment about the font size to the responsible department. We have the following two mozzarellas from M-Budget in our range: M-Budget Mozzarella 400 g (stick) -> origin Switzerland M-Budget Mozzarella 2x125 g (balls) -> origin Germany The declaration on the packaging states CH or DE. This must be indicated on dairy products. As part of the M-Budget design relaunches, we will optimise the font size where possible. M Budget cottage cheese (natural and chive) is produced in Switzerland and made from Swiss milk. This can be recognised by the circle on the back, which contains a CH. This labeling is common for dairy products. Kind regards, Angela

Thanks Angela! that helped me a lot and I'm really pleased that Budget products are also from Switzerland. Except for the balls. why not? it would be my wish. the question of whether the red Swiss cross could be printed prominently on the front of budget products remains unanswered.

@karin253 Angela writes, however, that a design relaunch is pending for the M-Budget line. It is possible that this means that they are moving away from the previous rigid design and using the cross if they are Swiss products (and the use is permitted).

Hello karin253, as part of the relaunch we will check whether we can integrate the Swiss cross on the front of the packaging. Not all mozzarella in the Migros range is from Switzerland. M-Budget's mission is to offer good quality at the lowest price. We offer round mozzarella from Switzerland with the following product: https://produkte.migros.ch/alfredo-mozzarella.
