Preservatives in meat products

Konservierungsmittel in Fleischprodukten

Dear Mirgos

All packaged meat products contain E250 (sodium nitrite). Although the health risks have been known for years.
I, and I am sure many other consumers, would very much welcome it if Migros could be the first to take a step forward and remove the harmful sodium nitrite.

It is possible, other manufacturers have already proven this!

Additives make you ill! Everyone knows that; and yet consumers are still forced to consume them. I don't think that's right! No matter what the WHO tells us with its limit values.

I very much hope that Mirgros will finally move forward in terms of food chemistry! This will also make it easier to sell the products... Thank you very much!

Kind regards

Hello cracker69

Thank you for your message about sodium nitrite in meat products. What applies to finished products also applies to additives in meat products. Here too, Migros pays attention to the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH). Migros only uses the substances in its products if the two organizations approve them and the toxicological tests certify that they are harmless. Naturally, only in the approved quantities, which are also strictly controlled.

You can be sure that the amount of E250 in the packaged meat products is harmless to health.

However, I will of course pass on your suggestion to the production department. We will look into alternatives.

Kind regards
