Vegan sandwiches - The 3.

Vegane Sandwiches - Die 3.

Dear Migros

First of all, I think it's great that you're offering more and more vegan food.

Unfortunately, however, there is still no sandwich that is purely plant-based. During my internet search, I saw that this wish was already expressed here in the forum in both 2013 and 2014, and now it's already 2017... It would be really cool if you could buy a sandwich in Migros for the journey.

For example, the Anna's Best Vegi SW Cucumber & Tomato simply with a vegan cream cheese. Or with hummus and grilled vegetables. There are so many possibilities!

Thank you for the consideration and have a great day!

Best regards
Anna

Hello @nibuab

Thanks for your message. Yes, you're right, there are still no vegan sandwiches in the Migros range at the moment. However, the product managers are constantly testing new variants. I'm sorry I can't give you any more positive feedback. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll soon be able to buy a vegan sandwich in Migros to take away! Best regards, Nicole

Hello Knusperli

Yes, I've heard that before too. I'd just be surprised if, for example, they opened a whole new production facility for the one vagrant variety of Anna's Best ravioli so that it would pass as vegan...

And it has already been answered. Unfortunately, however, without the "right" answer, in my opinion.

Well, maybe we'll get lucky one day...

This can't really be the case as long as no animal substances are involved in the entire processing chain of a product. However, as long as it could contain technical "traces" because non-vegan products are also manufactured at the production site, it is still a vegan product according to the V-label guidelines:
https://www.v-label.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/DE-Leitfaden.pdf
But only if the traces make up a maximum of 0.1%! So it could be that the possible contamination is above this value and the V-label is therefore not awarded... even though the product is gifted...

@KurumiKurumi, thanks for the explanation and the link!

I just looked it up again the other day and the Anna's Best Vegi Flatbread Hummus always sounds quite promising. If it doesn't get the label because it is exposed to too many contaminants during production, then I would understand. With a short note on the back, everyone can then decide whether they want to take the "risk". But unfortunately they put a yogurt sauce with egg in it, which I personally find quite unnecessary. It wouldn't be that difficult to simply leave it out or replace it with something else. But well - maybe it will happen at some point.

@nibuab So it's certainly not difficult to produce, in fact it's easier.
They simply base the recipe/product range on their assumed consumer demand... But I'm 99.9% sure that a sandwich/wrap without egg and cheese will soon be available.
Otherwise, the best alternative at the moment is probably to stuff a bread roll (ciabatta, focaccia, silserli, etc.) with e.g. AB green beans, carrot salad, beetroot salad/ AB vegi edamame salad, sweet potato salad, lentil salad/ Migros organic lentil salad.
Or just a separate dip + any falafel, tofu/ seitan products...

I read "Vegi Edamamer"!
But you already know that this is the "analog cheese" that has become so infamous in recent years. As a pizza topping, it's considered cheap and nasty - but as "vegi cheese", the exact same industrial cheese substitute is considered high-quality and healthy.crazy world!

@KurumiIhope there will be something soon. But otherwise, as you say, there are a few other options. I like to just have a bread roll and an avocado. But it's always a bit of a mess. :)

@derMugerTrue, it's probably a similar product . But the world isn't really that crazy when you consider that the excitement over the "analog cheese" was due to the fact that consumers weren't informed that it wasn't "real" cheese. Consumer deception, in other words. And it's no wonder that the media reigned with a big scandal and "analog cheese" became the anti-word.

What is now sold as vegan cheese is neither incredibly high quality nor healthy. To be honest, it's quite a disaster nutritionally. But real cheese is hardly superior to the vegi variety in terms of its health properties and as vegans have just decided to keep their hands off animal products (for whatever of the many reasons). So, as already written above: It's not really crazy.

oh - you're right, the Japanese beans could also be meant. You can get them in Migros... :-)

Well - I would have been very surprised if Migros didn't have a sandwich without animal products, but a salad with plant-based cheese; and then edamame ;-)

No - I really mean the soybeans. Anna's Best Edamame Salad...

But one more comment on analog cheese: it's the same topic as the "veggie-fake-meat-replacement-products-are-unhealthy-and-full-of-chemicals" debate. It simply doesn't make sense to lump everything together. There are undoubtedly highly processed "fake" products, but there are also plant-based cheeses that really are cheese - not in terms of taste, but in the production process: a plant-based base is inoculated with appropriate fungi or bacteria, fermented or similar. These are then also natural products and not "falls" - they should not imitate anything... Just like tofu doesn't want to be meat ;-) It just depends on the marketing...
