Why double the range in a small store?

Loxiran · 2019-11-25T20:06:29.702Z

In the small Migros branch Deutweg Winterthur I find a double assortment. Can anyone tell me the difference between these products? For Fr. 1.45 I can find the canned organic chopped peeled tomatoes item number 153227900000 GTIN 7617027934381, 7617027934398 or right next to it the same from Alnatura for Fr. 1.20 Identity label 4104420000001 Product number: 224403 What sense does it make to stock both products?

Hello Loxirain. The organic tomatoes are from our own production. Alnatura is a third-party brand. Offering both is part of our organic strategy. Best regards, Tamara

Hello Tamara This can of Migros label tomatoes contains foreign tomatoes: tomatoes *70%, tomato juice *30%. * Does Migros have its own tomato field abroad? Are the tomatoes brought to Switzerland by truck and filled into the cans in Switzerland? Or are the cans filled and produced abroad? LG

The fact that a product belongs to a Migros own brand says nothing about the country in which the item is produced. Example: Asparagus from the own brand Sun Queen comes from China: https://www.migros.ch/de/einkaufen/migros-marken.html https://produkte.migros.ch/sun-queen-gruene-spargeln

Hello Loxiran, thank you for your questions. Migros does not have its own tomato fields abroad. Our supplier has certified organic fields in Italy, where he grows the tomatoes and processes them in his factory in Italy. The canned tomatoes are then transported by rail to our central warehouse in Switzerland. Kind regards, Luisa

Hello @M-Infoline Well, as I can see, there is no difference, so in future I will buy the tins of tomatoes from Alnatura for Fr. 1.20, which are 25 cents cheaper than those from Migros. What I don't understand is why such a small Migros store stocks identical organic products twice. When there is so little space available. I'm annoyed that I can no longer find the Alntatura organic Kalamata olives without stones (350 g) in this Migros branch. Only olives with stones! If I ever find olives without stones there, I may have to switch to M-Budget. I don't understand Migros' product range policy, it is NOT customer-oriented. LG

Again and again: Alnatura does NOT meet our 'Bud' organic standards. https://www.srf.ch/sendungen/kassensturz-espresso/themen/konsum/migros-gibt-sich-mit-alnatura-gruener-als-gruen

@Farmerin Migros' own organic label for EU products is NOT Bud certified either. As you know, Migros uses its OWN ORGANIC LABEL, which is NOT IDENTICAL TO BIO BIO for products from abroad. 1. the stricter Bio Suisse (Bud) guidelines apply to domestic (Swiss) Migros organic own-label products, provided they are purely Swiss products and there is no mix with foreign products.

2. for imports, Migros relies on the less stringent requirements of the EU organic regulation 3. conclusion: Alnatura products comply with the EU organic standard, as do Migros organic own-label products from the EU = EU organic standard = NO difference to Alnatura The tinned tomatoes do not come from overseas, but from Europe, and are therefore identical. The only advantage of Migros organic over EU organic is that products from overseas are subject to additional requirements such as a ban on air transport, additional social requirements, packaging, residue controls, etc. Products from the South are usually also Max Havelaar certified. Source: https://www.wwf.ch/de/lebensmittel-label-ratgeber/migros-bio Anyone who loves Migros' own organic brand can therefore also buy Alnatura products from the EU for all products that do NOT come from Switzerland. Anyone looking for organic Bud products from abroad at Migros will have to go to the competition.

Hello Loxiran, thank you for your feedback on the Deutweg branch. I understand your disappointment. We now only stock pitted olives in larger and selected outlets. I have informed the cooperative about your feedback on the tinned tomatoes so that they can look into making adjustments if necessary. Kind regards, Richi

Hello M-Infoline Are there generally NO more ensteine olives in the Deutweg? I bought others last time and almost gritted my teeth, they didn't taste good either, far too salty. So please let me know if there will still be pitted olives in Deutweg in future, regardless of the brand.

Hello Loxiran, the Deutweg branch offers various pitted olives, for example the green pitted olives, 100 g in a bag or the Spanish pitted black olives. The Deutweg branch also has organic Greek amphisis olives in its range. Best regards, Angela Best regards, Angela
