Frozen packs Fruits "swell" when defrosting

Tiefkühlverpackungen Früchte "sauen" beim Auftauen

Frozen food packaging from Migros is a constant source of annoyance.

Many of the products on offer "sow" when defrosting, even if they are sealed plastic bags.

If you forget to put them in a container for defrosting, you can end up with an absolute mess in the fridge or on the kitchen worktop.

Example: Blueberries and M-Budget raspberries, every packet makes a mess.

That can't be right, can it?

completely agree with you. the same thing happened to me, I really had a huge mess in the fridge afterwards, as if I had butchered something. ???‍♀️

Hello @MerlijnCH @vollundganz, thank you for your messages. To prevent the liquid from leaking during the defrosting process, we recommend that you place the pack in a bowl, as suggested by @MerlijnCH. We understand that it is annoying to clean the fridge or kitchen combination afterwards. We have provided our customers with instructions on the packaging on how best to defrost the product. Nevertheless, we will keep an eye on your advice. Kind regards, Heidi

It's not a question of whether a label is appropriate or not.

The point is that all frozen fruit packs, whether Coop or Aldi, are not guaranteed to suffer from incontinence. It really can't be that difficult to seal a plastic bag so that it doesn't leak if you forget to put it in a bowl.

Hoi @MerlijnCH, I understand that you would like a different packaging. We decided on this packaging mainly because of the ecological background. The less plastic we can use, the better. We think it's more ecological to put a note on the packaging than to use a plastic bag. We review feedback like yours and make changes if the customer needs them. So I can't promise you anything, but we will definitely look into the suggestion. Kind regards, Sina

Sorry, but please read my post correctly!
I do not want a different packaging, but only that the already existing and welded PLASTIC packaging is carefully welded!!!!
Example as already mentioned: Migros-Budget frozen raspberries, they ARE IN A PLASTIC bag !!! But woe betide you if you forget to put them in a container!!!

If I buy frozen fruit that is only loose in a cardboard box, then I am aware that the cardboard will become soggy when the fruit defrosts. But not if the fruit is still sealed in a plastic bag in the carton.
Why don't you set an example with the budget frozen raspberries, please?

Hoi @MerlijnCH, the plastic bags of M-Budget frozen raspberries, for example, are deliberately perforated so that the supplier can deliver them to us properly flattened and stacked in boxes. We will not change this, as it allows us to save on transport costs and minimize the environmental impact of transport. Kind regards, Sina

Oh dear Maria....?

You have to come up with that first! Boahhh.... The term "environmental impact" immediately takes on new dimensions. It's a shame that the strawberries flown in from the back of India in February/March, packed in wooden crates, the kilo at 3.50 cents is somehow watered down.
