With good values and good taste: I would buy them immediately ;-). Preferably a vegetable cheese (without onion, without pepperoni, others probably don't tolerate it as well), not quite as high in calories/fat, but with a really good portion of protein. That would be really great.
There is now the Oh! High Protein Toast (https://produkte.migros.ch/oh-proteintoast); an Oh! High Protein Wähen would probably be the next logical step, although the Wähen are sold in Migros under the "Anna's Best" brand... I'm not a fan of the "high protein" crap and don't support this marketing ploy. I don't need a high protein chew, but for those who think it's great, why not?
But too much protein is also unhealthy, so you don't need to eat pastries or toast in this "line", and also without palm oil and other sugars and so on, just drink water.

There are people with increased protein requirements (athletes, dieters, the elderly, convalescents), and quite a few of them, who need to pay attention to the protein-calorie ratio. That's why I think the protein product line is good, and even better: it could be expanded.

But for healthy people without additional needs, these products are unnecessary and can even be harmful. It's about the same as when people buy products without gluten because they are led to believe that they are doing something good for their bodies. I am not talking about people with a gluten intolerance.

This is a good example, which is why Migros also offers products for people with gluten intolerance. However, these are not harmful per se for people who tolerate gluten, as long as they integrate these foods into a balanced diet. You see, it's exactly the same with high protein products, some people "need" them, others don't, but these other "normal people" can also enjoy high protein as part of a balanced diet.

If you don't have kidney dysfunction/diseases etc., you can easily consume more protein than recommended by the WHO etc. (https://impuls.migros.ch/de/ernaehrung/naehrstoffe-vitamine-co/proteine/zuviele-proteine). And as has already been mentioned, there are people who have an increased protein requirement (e.g. bodybuilders etc.). I personally don't need the Oh! High Protein line, but those who like high protein products do ;-) To each his own.

You're right about that. Everyone has to know for themselves or can decide for themselves which protein sources they want to consume, whether fish/meat etc. or protein-rich vegan/vegetarian sources, or high protein products. In my opinion, these high protein products are unnecessary, for me it's just a marketing ploy and a way to boost sales (because it's a "trend" at the moment and everyone is jumping on it instead of giving it a bit of thought); and I don't find some of these products really healthy either, and they're overpriced/expensive for me anyway. But to each his own. Of course, if you naively believe all the crap on the internet and social media, then I'm not surprised that people who don't have a gluten intolerance suddenly only buy gluten-free products because they're made to believe that they're supposedly healthier or that they're doing something good for the body, etc. I don't think that's right anyway. I think it's wrong anyway that you have to read everywhere on the internet which products are supposedly bad (e.g. meat, milk, wheat etc.) and which are not... For me, products without gluten/lactose etc. are clearly made for people who suffer from such an intolerance; everyone else can try these products out of curiosity if they want, but I find it pointless to only consume such products because they are supposedly better/healthier for the body (if you don't have such an intolerance)...

Legere cheese is now sold as high-protein, but the product has not changed. Anyone who jumps on this bandwagon and pays more is simply to blame 🤷♀️
Couldn't people who want to eat more protein just eat their low-fat quark and chicken breast? Instead, more and more high protein products like cheeses are supposed to come onto the market? They're all supposed to eat them, even though they were happy with normal cheeses? I don't understand.
