Congratulations, dear Migros... Better late than never. For years, I cursed this labeling fraud about tradition and then palm oil in it. Now what we have long been told was "impossible" has happened: It can be done without palm oil. Thank you! https://produkte.migros.ch/angebote/tradition-biscuits-1451529?region=gmaa

Even if things have been unfortunate in the past on the subject of palm oil, I think this is a great step in the right direction. Very good, keep it up!

Hello Bluemchen72 Thank you for your feedback. I will pass on your feedback to the people responsible! Best regards, Angela
But what about "the sensory properties" and "the taste" that only holy palm oil can achieve, as well as the "production process that requires palm oil for processing"?↵↵And what happened to "abEr pAlMoEL iSt tHe nAchALtiGst oF aLL" and the prayers for the RSPO about how great it is (fun fact: Migros has ZERO idea where the oil comes from because it can't be traced, admitted recently in a statement. Funny hah. )↵↵... Migros didn't fib to us during the HUNDREDS of discussions... nope... but not Mother Migros... 😉↵↵↵... but by the way: please keep it up, Migros. Thank you.
Hello Bodenseeknusperli, no, we weren't fibbing to you. Palm oil is still the most sustainable oil. With our products, we always have to take several factors into account and weigh them up against each other. Especially with a product with the name "Tradition", customers expect traditional products to be included in the recipe. We are now fulfilling this wish. However, the butter also means that there are minimal deviations from the previous taste and it is not equally easy to maintain the consistency of all "Tradition" products. Kind regards, Sina

Excuse me? Palm oil is supposed to be the most sustainable oil? Why is that? Is there any evidence, studies, reports?

Sustainable is when you burn down whole areas and animals lose their lives (there are enough photos of the burned animals there) and it has nothing to do not only with Guatzli but also with all other products that are sold far too expensively in Switzerland.

Hello Yoliboli, thank you for your feedback. Palm oil is the more sustainable vegetable fat compared to alternatives such as rapeseed oil, sunflower oil or coconut oil, as it is the most land-efficient. The problem is not the oil itself, but the way in which it is produced. That is why we rely on certified palm oil of the RSPO Segregated variety. This means that we know exactly which mills the oil comes from and can trace it in the event of complaints. Migros, together with the WWF, is one of the founding members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). The aim is to improve palm oil production worldwide. This organization is made up of representatives from palm plantations, the processing industry, social and environmental organizations, banks and retailers. Best regards, Richi
And yet you can't deny that RSPO is just greenwashing/label fraud. https://www.publiceye.ch/de/mediencorner/medienmitteilungen/detail/nachhaltiges-palmoel-etikettenschwindel-mit-rspo-label You can find countless reports. Quote: "The dossier shows that the RSPO guidelines are weak and allow the destruction of peat bogs, secondary forests or the use of highly toxic pesticides. In addition, the guidelines are insufficiently implemented and fail to have an effect, as control systems and sanction mechanisms are not effective." "Up to the mill" does NOT mean up to the field... and corruption is omnipresent... This is what bothers me about Migros, how they still try to make us believe that their palm oil is clean. But let's leave it at that, I hope for further steps against exploitation and away from palm oil, keep it up.
@Bodenseeknusperli then I assume that you consequently don't buy any of these products, right?
