>>> How much of the ingredients come from here? <<< It says on the label that the mock meat and bacon are from here. A total of 6% of the contents, which is much more than the dates, which are also offered with "from us, from here".
>>> What exactly is not from here? <<< Do the math yourself, 100% - 6% = 94%. Whereby the can itself and the label are probably also imported.
>>> Does it actually have BPA in it? <<< Definitely. I think all Migros cans contain BPA. Otherwise they would have already advertised BPA-free canned food.

I think this label only says that the product was manufactured by an M company in Switzerland? Nobody seems to claim that the ingredients have to be from here?
"What we care about, we make ourselves. And have been doing so for over 80 years." Find out who the "do-it-yourselfers" are and how their products have become "stars". You will also find iconic videos and pictures from Migros history."
Yet another deliberate deception by Migros.

Are there any products that are really "from us, from here"?

Hello@deactivated user
Hello
I can answer your question as follows:
How much of the ingredients come from here? The following ingredients are 100% Swiss: pork, sugar, rapeseed oil and pork fat.
Due to availability, quality and price, we source our raw materials from all over the world. The origin of individual raw materials is therefore variable and not fixed. We also source some of the raw materials for this product from abroad.
VUVH stands for products that we manufacture in our own Migros industrial operations in Switzerland. The raw materials for these products do not necessarily have to come from Switzerland, but the Swiss share of the total added value must be at least 50 percent.
Does it actually contain BPA? The metal of the can is protected with a non-BPA-free inner coating. The BPA content in the inner coating of tinplate cans is strictly regulated by a legal limit in Switzerland and parts of the EU. Compliance with the limit value is checked by regular tests. We are therefore following the assessment of the Federal Office of Public Health that the derived tolerable daily intake ensures a sufficient level of protection for consumers.
Kind regards

@Tanja_Migros you write: "The raw materials for these products do not necessarily have to come from Switzerland, but the Swiss share of the total value added must be at least 50 percent."
Sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying, or does that mean that a much smaller proportion than 50% of the raw materials must come from Switzerland? In the case of ravioli, only about 10% of the total raw materials are from Switzerland!
I think it's really quite wrong that Migipedia is misleading customers with statements like yours. Your answer even suggests that 100% of the ingredients come from Switzerland. It's a good thing I didn't just read your answer once. Migros should therefore rethink its communication not only with regard to its promise to Noah, but also here on Migipedia.

At least 50%? Dear Tanja, the tomato juice makes up 66% of the ravioli and the egg pasta another 22%. Together they make up 88%, add breadcrumbs, table salt, glucose syrup, spices, rice starch, spice extracts, smoked table salt/maltodextrin and we are easily over 90%. Where has your 50% gone? It's a maximum of 10% for this product, but probably less. Where was the said 50% in the dates that were in the Kassensturz because of fraudulent labeling? Luzi Weber said the dates were only packaged at Migros. Given the quantity, this was certainly done by machine, but even if workers had done it by hand, the proportion of the total product would hardly have been higher than 1%.
At least 50%, that's simply not true. Does Migros really think its customers are that stupid? You can't count the transportation to the stores and the work involved in filling the racks, otherwise Aldi and Lidl would have 100% Swissness in their stores.
@deactivated user >>> Yes, are there any products that are really "from us, from here"? <<<
Yes, of course, fresh eggs from the region would be "from us, from here"
It depends on the percentage and how you define "us" and "here". - In the case of dates, the percentage was around 1%. (fraudulent labeling > Kassensturz) - For ravioli, it is well below 10%. (Deception of customers) - If Chokolat Frey is "us" and Switzerland is "here", you can reckon with 20% to 30%, which falls on the manufacture of the chocolate and some packaging, some of which is produced in Switzerland. The raw materials are probably all imported. - If Migros is "us" and the MGB Tower is "here", then you get 100% made-up excuses or excuses. Good examples of this, apart from Tanja's answer, are the threads on the pipe cleaner, the bee promise and palm oil.
Migros has no more Switzerland in its products than any of its competitors, but with "from us, from here" it is much more cold-blooded in its ability to swindle customers.

People, if you are almost obsessively trying to misunderstand everything as negatively as possible for Migros, at least read it properly (emphasis mine): > The raw materials for these products do not necessarily have to come from Switzerland. > Switzerland's share of the total value added must be at least 50 percent. This means that the cost of the imported ingredients must not exceed 50% of the final price. In the case of ravioli, the meat (precisely because it comes from Switzerland) and the production costs are likely to account for well over 50% of the price.

>>> the cost of the imported ingredients must not exceed 50% of the final price <<< What nonsense, a can costs around 50 centimes to produce, the margin up to the final price is profit. Otherwise Migros would have gone bankrupt long ago with all the 50% promotions.
But you have to troll a bit.

Whether the added value from the sale in the store is taken into account (i.e. final price = store price for the customer) or not (i.e. final price = Migros production price) is another question. I assume that not. The fact is, however, that a share of the value added has relatively little to do with weight or volume shares in the end product.

How do you know what is fact here? I think you just want to argue, please stay out of it, I don't want any information from you.
In any case, you buy the ravioli, mainly by weight and volume. If more than 90% of it is not "from us, from here", as Migroleum and Albus have plausibly described, I think Migros is cheating. The slogan makes you think you're doing something for your homeland when you eat, but that's not true at all.
