Dear Migros, wouldn't it be possible to get the super healthy frozen wild blueberries from a source other than Estonia of all places, where radiation damage is still the issue? (For example from Canada). That would be so great.
I agree with you: radiation damage is problematic, as is the transportation of blueberries from Canada to Switzerland!
Hello Sundee, you can consume our wild blueberries with a clear conscience. Our supplier has all batches microbiologically tested in a laboratory (including noroviruses and hepatitis viruses). The berries are also tested for residues of heavy metals and radioactivity. Kind regards, Sina

Hello Sina, I expect Migros to show more respect for customers (wishes). I support Sundee's stance. I would like to buy only CANADIAN frozen blueberries. I do not trust European blueberries (for example from Ukraine, Chernobyl was worse than the very bad Fukushima; and blueberries, like the tobacco plant, Brazil nuts and possibly also bananas, are among the radioactive particle collectors) and the "measurements". I find which particles are measured and how the "limit value" is determined too arbitrary or opaque. And the fact that one user here thinks that the transportation route plays the decisive role is his personal opinion, which I do not share, as health is my priority. Conclusion: Could Migros please offer Canadian blueberries (preferably wild or at least cultivated) in the freezer? This would make me (and I'm sure many other health-conscious LONGEVITY) a permanent customer.
Super Sundee, I agree with you. We customers (as cooperative members, we are not the owners of Migros ;-) should join together to form a "critical mass" or "purchasing community" so that we are taken seriously by Migros instead of being shot down. I wrote the following text to Sina from Migros earlier in this forum:

Does this apply to all your frozen berries that they are checked? Does that include all raspberries, berry mixes and smoothie mixes?
Or does this only apply to wild blueberries?

Hello Misgros, due to availability issues we have switched to cultivated blueberries, which we source from Lithuania. Our suppliers always adhere to all guidelines in order to bring good quality to the market. I will be happy to take your request on board and submit it to the specialist department. Kind regards, Susi

Hi Susi, thank you, I would very much welcome it if Migros would offer frozen wild or cultivated blueberries from Canada. Aldi did that. At least for a while. At the moment Aldi offers cultivated blueberries from Peru.

Dear Migros, I must have forgotten my question.
How is it now?

Hey Yolibolli, thanks for your reminder. We test all frozen berries, including raspberries, berry mixes, and smoothie mixes, for heavy metals. We also carry out more stringent tests on wild berries such as blueberries, as these are more likely to come into contact with animals. Best regards, Mara

Health is also important to me. For me, this includes not only the issue of radiation exposure, but also how long and how far food is transported. Long transport routes—especially for fresh or recently frozen berries—can reduce vitamin content and place additional strain on the environment and climate, which also affects our health in the long term.
