We are increasingly noticing that good products are disappearing from the shelves... E.g. M-Classic yoghurt mint sauce.... clearly not to everyone's taste...but was very popular among my friends. To have five different ketchups on the shelf for that...? There was also an extremely fine grilled bread with olives (baked bread)...also gone...and recently the chocolate flakes, also known as Paddys, have been removed from the range. These breakfast cereals were really good. They didn't have too much sugar and the price was right. I think it's a real shame that good products that aren't available in ten alternatives on the shelves are simply disappearing from the range. I would like to speak to a Migros PM about what the criteria are in such cases. From my point of view, Migros should have a diverse range of products on the shelves...I just find it monotonous now. Otherwise I would make myself available as a PM...😉

Yes, it's a pity, we are being standardized and educated more and more towards a uniform taste. Migros is particularly keen to remove products from its range that have an outstanding unique selling point and are not available anywhere else. Speaking of yogurts: Five years ago, the unique organic apple and pear yogurt disappeared. I then switched to the CoR yogurts (although not organic): Vierfrucht and Süssmost. They haven't been available for a few months now either, but it feels like there are 32 varieties of vanilla and chocolate yogurts on the shelves. It's my own fault at Migros, I now buy Demeter sea buckthorn yoghurts and seasonal yoghurts with flavors (currently the summer yoghurt with sea truffles, in winter it was apple-cinnamon and incidentally has only 10.5% sugar content) that aren't available anywhere else. I don't care that they cost almost twice as much, the few raps more a day don't make me poor. It is produced in the neighboring community from milk from organic farms almost on my doorstep, which is worth supporting. Migros, on the other hand, can only include mainstream branded products in its range, not a trace of innovation.

Yes, a lot of good products are disappearing (e.g. the Pelican Paella etc.)... It's a real shame that Migros is pursuing this strategy...

I think it would be useful for us customers if we could find out about upcoming and completed discontinuations on this platform. It would also be great to use Likes to bring products back onto the shelves.

For years, a lot of people have found this useful, but Migros hasn't, there have been dozens of requests. Arguments why it doesn't work: - Too much effort / expensive (two three clicks to copy paste the text of the product into a list is too expensive...) - Customers wouldn't see it after all because there's already so much advertising (lol. Maybe Migros is just making more space and throwing out classics for the future alcohol shelf, that needs proper shelves, yes, I'll buy a vodka instead of Paddy's Zmorgeflöckli😂 (read in the Sonntags Zeitung, searched for a random link online https://www.20min.ch/story/verkauft-die-migros-bald-alkohol-und-tabak-886711150575 had to laugh, so Migros does want alcohol yes yes)
Migros is constantly talking itself out of it and blaming us. What is migipedia for if they don't change anything?

Migipedia exists so that Migros can better promote its advertising slogan "Migros belongs to the people"...

You speak from my soul! I was always a Migros child - but in the last 2 years Migros has lost a lot of sympathy with me... All brands that don't make a huge profit are being stamped out... First in the stores (Interio, Globus, Chicketeria,...) and now also lots of delicious products (such as the M-Classic sauces mentioned above, etc.)!

Do you realize that Migros still doesn't want our Migros children from back then? They want other, new customers - we are no longer "hip" enough for the new trends and they don't care at all that we "old" customers are increasingly turning to Aldi, Lidl, Coop, etc. You can see that from the fact that they are replacing "our" products with completely overpriced branded products with flimsy "copy and paste" justifications "Milk cow" Swiss customer sends his regards, dr "Dutti" would turn in his grave if he had to see what sinera Migros has become. Here is another link with an interview from today's Bündner Zeitung: https://www.suedostschweiz.ch/wirtschaft/2021-07-20/bonorand-alkoholverzicht-der-migros-ist-ein-heiligtum

Hi NussNnugat, thank you very much for your message. I understand your disappointment about the lack of Paddy chocolate shells. The specialist department informs me that it was the very low demand that led to the discontinuation. Nevertheless, I hope that you will find an alternative in the breakfast area that you also like. And if you would actually like to apply to be a PM, you can find the link to the vacancies below: https://migros-gruppe.jobs/de/unsere-unternehmen/migros-gruppe/offene-stellen?organizations=Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund Best regards, Richi

On the subject of "disappearing products" and "milking cows", please also mention the foxy other option: replacing producers, preferably abroad but offering them at the same price. Just like the budget toast recently, instead of JOWA now someone in Germany. It was the same with chocolate. Also a tactic
