Dear Migros Why the heck does practically every food I pick up from you have sugar in it? Why does dried meat, ham, meat loaf, sausage products, cottage cheese, bouillon, pickled vegetables, bread, salad dressing, etc. have sugar in them, sometimes in 2-3-4 times the amount? and in some cases in 2-3-4 times the amount? I want to decide for myself when I add sugar and when I don't, and I can certainly control this with obvious foods such as cookies, cakes, chocolate etc. But is there actually a single product of yours apart from water to which no sugar has been added during production? And now the answer will probably be "yes we have, we have created a health-conscious line called so and so with less sugar in it" - the products are massively more expensive but your health is certainly worth it. Why in God's name does the consumer have to pay more to eat healthily. In my opinion, healthy eating is a human right and it must be possible for every citizen of the world to buy healthy food. I do NOT want any sugar in food where it does not belong. Sugar is addictive, is a vitamin and mineral robber of the finest kind and makes you really ill!!! I advise everyone to watch the movie "The big sugar lie" and at the same time read the book "Anti-inflammatory nutrition" by Jürgen Schäfer. It makes your ears prick up and it's no wonder why more and more people are becoming ill. This is population genocide on a grand scale at the price of profit maximization. We are still paying for the fact that we are ruining our health ... unknowingly, mind you. Around 1900, the per capita consumption of sugar was 1 kg per year, today we consume almost 1 kg per week!!! No wonder, when sugar has been added to every product in which you really expect it. Diabetes, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, inflammation in the body, allergies etc. are all caused by sugar. When will you stop poisoning us?

I have long been of the opinion that people should finally find their way back to natural flavors. Sugar is a flavor enhancer and Migros always likes to use this word. All dairy products should be sold without sugar. Everyone can then sweeten their yoghurt or quark as they like, with sugar or sweetener or not at all. The food industry finally needs to rethink................... But as long as we can already buy asparagus, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries............. in February, we will probably have to wait a long time. There is only one thing to do, e.g. buy cottage cheese at Aldi or Lidl or abroad at Edeka, because they can do without sugar!

I completely agree with you. Back to the roots and living with nature and what nature provides regionally here at any time of year. When I look at the fruit and vegetable shelves and pay attention to where all this stuff comes from, I feel sick. Unfortunately, consumer awareness is massively clouded because there is still too much trust that the producers and distributors surely mean well for us. It doesn't bother me so much with yoghurt, because as a consumer I know that there is a lot of sugar in fruit and other "flavored" yoghurts. But at least I have a sugar-free alternative with natural yogurt. But what I can't do at all is add sugar to foods where no one realizes that they might contain sugar. I then have no alternative or have to find out for myself which sugar-free alternative I can get in which store, if there is one anywhere at all. That's not right.
"Around 1900, the per capita consumption of sugar was 1 kg per year, today we are at almost 1 kg per week!!!" Absolute harbor cheese. If you don't have a source, you can pack this claim away again. Sugar has always been used for preservation, in jams, bread, dried meat, etc. Just imagine, there's salt in almost everything! It's also a flavor enhancer...

I just saw today that cottage cheese has even more sugar at Lidl than at Migros.

No, I was at Lidl today and it has no sugar in it! It has no added sugar in it! The sugar in the nutritional values only comes from the milk.

Salsafuedli But what doesn't work at all is the addition of sugar in foods where no one realizes that it could have sugar in it. Exactly: Zero Budget Orange Limo (little but: juice concentrate....)

Are you sure? Then I'll have another look. But I think there was sugar on the list of ingredients...?↵I'll have to look again 😉.

I always use Lidl's own HK
