I wish Migros would use non-inflammatory oils such as rapeseed or olive oil in its products whenever possible. I so often find sunflower oil in Migros products, and it's not the best thing for my health. Is it cheaper?

Hi@PrincesseErika
Thank you very much for your message about sunflower oil. Can you specify any special products that are involved? We have different managers who look after our product areas.
I can then send you more information in this regard.
Good afternoon

There are so many products involved, it would be too vast. I'd like Migros to make it its policy (if it isn't already) to encourage as many products as possible that contain non-inflammatory oils.

Hello @PrincessErika
Please excuse the late reply, due to vacation absences, this clarification has been delayed.
Compared to rapeseed oil and olive oil, sunflower oil has a less pronounced clean taste and is therefore better suited to processing. This is why sunflower oil is used in some products, but whenever possible, rapeseed and olive oil are used in Migros products.
From a dietary point of view, we recommend that you opt for unprocessed products and use oils with polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as rapeseed or olive oil, in your cooking.
Indeed, these days, the quantity of linoleic acid (a polyunsaturated fatty acid essential to the human organism, belonging to the omega-6 fatty acid group) that we consume in our daily diet (in particular through sunflower oil and other oils readily used in industry) is more than sufficient. The quantity of omega-3 fatty acids, on the other hand, is insufficient. Yet they are considered to play an important role in the prevention of arteriosclerosis, heart attacks, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatism, and probably also allergies.
The use of rapeseed oil increases the intake of omega-3 fatty acids. To reduce the intake of omega-6 fatty acids, linoleic acid-rich oils such as sunflower oil and, more generally, fat-rich foods should be consumed in moderation.
I hope we have been able to provide more information with these details. If you have any further questions, you can always contact us.
Have a nice day
