"(...) Migros and Coop are not aware of any guilt
The agricultural consultant knows: "It used to be said that the overall appearance of a fruit crate was important. In other words, certain visual damage was tolerated. That's no longer the case today. In addition, the internal quality has been added, i.e. firmness, sugar value. All of this has massively increased the demands on producers."
"Kassensturz" confronts Migros and Coop with the accusation that wholesalers and retailers are putting fruit growers under pressure. Migros replies that it cannot understand this accusation. Retailers and fruit growers would agree on target prices together. And Coop adds: "The quality standards are constantly adapted to the fluctuations in production and the needs of consumers.

We are slowly but surely being made ill and paying for it. Every calorie and ingredient declaration must be made...but toxins & co. are not listed. I am shocked, sad and very, very angry.

Since our son became seriously ill, we have been consciously looking out for "healthy" products when we shop at Migros. News like this shocks me to the core. I was rarely naive enough to believe that I couldn't go wrong when buying fruit and vegetables from Migros. I could slap myself in the face. I'm just stupid.

But I'm willing to learn from my mistakes. If this goes on, dear Migros, you're going to have a huge problem at some point. Finally think 100% about our future. Wake up at last! More and more people are becoming ill. How big a part are you playing in this? You have power, you have money, do something and don't shift responsibility.
