Why are all the charcuterie counters disappearing? I can only buy cold cuts in lots of plastic and in predetermined quantities. As a single household, that's a bit silly and ecologically stupid. It's of little use that I can buy meat and fish in my own container if I have to pay for the meat loaf and salami.

Charcuterie counter in a Swiss supermarket? When was the last time I saw one? Maybe 20 years ago? It could have been longer.

From MM size upwards, there are often fresh food counters, but these are probably disappearing.
I also know counters with cheese, fresh meat and fish. But unpackaged charcuterie? I can still see in my mind's eye employees (almost always women) spearing slices of cold cuts and salami with a two-pronged fork, but some of them have probably long since retired.

Hello Carmen-H, this is an issue that each Migros cooperative decides for itself. I'd be happy to ask yours. Where do you usually shop? Best regards, Sina

Good evening Carmen-H, these things don't pay for themselves. The slices should be cut, so a small profit. According to the law, the slicers should be cleaned or replaced, depending on the type of meat. Best regards Frederica

Hello Carmen-H, thank you very much, I have contacted the relevant specialist department and asked for an answer. We closed the charcuterie counters after intensive consideration and clarification. Such decisions, especially in view of the nostalgia, are never easy for us either. Nevertheless, such decisions have to be made in every company based on economic aspects: A supply can only be maintained as long as demand is sufficiently high. In addition, the quality of pre-packed products is in no way inferior to products in the open counter. It is also important to weigh up what is more important: More packaging or food waste. Incidentally, the organic products are packaged in an environmentally friendly way. We are constantly looking into alternative packaging options. Best regards, Sina
