What I would really like to see (apart from other products such as yoghurt, bars etc.) is ham and bacon etc. without sugar. Why is there sugar in sausage products?

Hello envyme, thank you for your contribution. Only very small quantities are used. For technological reasons, the use of sugar (types) cannot be dispensed with: in cured meat products, a small amount of sugar types (sucrose, glucose or lactose) is unfortunately essential, as these serve as a substrate for the starter cultures (curing flora). This process supports the reddening and protects the product from fading and graying due to oxygen and light. However, the sugar is fermented by the microorganisms into acids and thus "disappears". Kind regards, Luisa

Hello Luisa Thank you for your answer, but what I still don't understand is why almost all products (whether sweet or savoury or "natural") contain sugar today? Pizza with sugar, grilled cheese with sugar, natural yoghurt with sugar... I could go on and on. And then they always talk about sugar reduction, but then other ingredients appear in the products, such as glucose, barley malt, milk powder, etc., which are also nothing other than sugar. This is extremely annoying and Migros (or the food industry in general) can't seriously tell me that sugar is essential in all these products!
Why, because people love sugar. Because when new products are launched, the version with sugar is always perceived as the best and is therefore chosen. See Skyr: 95% of the target audience wrote that it was too sweet: nothing happened.↵↵This is not about you or me, but about the masses who want more: Sugar. And that's why Migros gives them exactly that. Without daring to go against it. ↵↵And PLEASE don't come to me with your sugar reduction in yoghurt. I'm so sick of copy-paste text😂
And that's exactly why it's important to finally cut out sugar, so that people finally realize again what the product really tastes like. Otherwise, people are just on the retro track.....

I'm still somewhere else where I'm looking for old advertisements, and I was shown this one "Sugar is healthy and makes you slim" (1954) [old advertisement] ↵https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iaorM7Gnv8&feature=youtu.be ↵it was already like that 😢 😡

Apparently already 😠↵↵@bodenseeknusperli think you mean "Radon" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon

Hello envyme, I would be happy to clarify this for you. It is difficult to give a general answer to this. According to food legislation, the term sugar or types of sugar includes all monosaccharides and disaccharides with the exception of polyhydric alcohols. Types of sugar include, for example, glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose and sucrose (= household sugar). Powdered milk is not sugar, powdered milk is milk from which water has been removed. Migros is aware of its responsibility with regard to food recipes and is constantly working on improving recipes in its own-brand range. We define various selected product ranges in which we aim to reduce sugar or salt, for example. For example, we have reduced the sugar content of many yogurts and the salt content of many soups. Further recipe adjustments are made on an ongoing basis. Our recipe improvements are based on nutritional guidelines developed in collaboration with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in Wädenswil. These guidelines take into account nutritional principles, such as the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), on the one hand, and technological and sensory feasibility on the other. The Migros nutritional guidelines are scientifically based and assess not only a selected nutrient (such as sugar or salt), but the entire nutrient profile of a food with all the main nutrients (sugar, salt, fat, protein, dietary fibers, etc.). In many cases, recipe improvements are made gradually so that consumers can get used to the new recipes and do not find the products less tasty. We pay close attention to taste and quality with every adjustment. For new products, we take the nutritional guidelines into account right from the development stage. Since the introduction of the nutritional guidelines, we have reviewed thousands of recipes. This has enabled us to improve the nutritional profile of hundreds of products. With the Generation M promise to produce over 150 products with less sugar, salt and fat but more dietary fiber from 2019, we are making a valuable contribution to promoting a balanced diet (see https://generation-m.migros.ch/de/versprechen/rezeptur.html). Indulgence products such as chocolate, cakes, desserts, potato chips, aperitif cookies, etc. are not the focus of our recipe revisions - these products are indulgence foods and not staple foods, which should always be consumed in moderation as part of a healthy diet. Ultimately, it is also important for customers to question their own eating habits and make a conscious choice of products. The transparent and comprehensive nutrition declaration on Migros products helps with this. Kind regards, Luisa
Why is the reply from you to Envyme "linked" to me? I didn't ask anything.
Hi Bodenseeknusperli, you're right, Envyme should really be linked here and not your post. Thank you for pointing this out. Best regards, Luisa
