The use of antibiotics in animals has been decreasing for years. The only exception: reserve antibiotics that hospitals need when all other drugs fail. This can lead to dangerous resistance for humans. The radical demand: a ban on emergency preparations in animal fattening.

It's a general problem that affects everyone (including Migros). Do you think that the farmers make a difference and say, aha, the meat goes into Migros, we're not allowed there, it doesn't matter in other stores. If I eat something with meat then it's beef or "flying dinosaurs", as much as I like a cordon bleue, salami or ham, pork gives me a rash. If I ever need to take antibiotics, I want them to do me good and not harm me.

Does anyone know what the situation is with organic meat? Are these types of antibiotics, as well as the others, permitted in organic farming? Does Migros possibly also have some meat in its range that has not been treated with antibiotics?

Antibiotics as prophylaxis in animal fattening have long been banned in Switzerland. Since April of this year, the latest generation of antibiotics (reserve antibiotics) may only be dispensed by vets to farmers for animals they have seen themselves. And only in the exact quantity required. So no reserves in the barn. In addition, the weaning periods for meat and milk must be observed. The double weaning periods apply to organic products!
