Just bought a small lunch, M-Classic Cottage Cheese and Migros Organic Lentil Salad. Very surprised that there is sugar as an ingredient in both products! Is that necessary? Coop Cottage Cheese has no sugar!

Hello sglatz, thank you for your contribution. In some foods, sugar is added in very small quantities to round off the flavor. However, these amounts are negligible from a nutritional point of view. The small amounts of sugar found in M-Classic Cottage Cheese or Organic Lentil Salad are objectively not a problem for people who want to eat a healthy diet. This is because sugar is not "forbidden" as part of a healthy diet - not even in the diet of diabetics. However, moderate consumption is recommended: A maximum of 10% of the energy consumed per day should come from sugar, which roughly corresponds to 50 grams - an amount that can easily be achieved with the consumption of sweet drinks, sweet baked goods, sweetened dairy products or sweets, but not with the products mentioned above. For example, our M-Classic Cottage Cheese contains a small amount of sugar (0.3% in total). This has been the case since these products were developed in the 1980s. The sugar serves to round off the taste and softens the sour taste somewhat. As an alternative without sugar, I recommend Cottage Cheese Organic, for example. Best regards, Luisa

Migros Infoline, I don't think it's appropriate to be lectured about nutrition, if you don't want added sugar, you WANT it and buy it elsewhere.
Exactly!!!!

I'm also not a fan of sugar being everywhere (especially not in cottage cheese) => it may be that these amounts are negligible, but if you add up everything you eat throughout the day, it's quite possible that it's no longer negligible at the end of the day. In my opinion, it's not about whether this sugar is objectively a problem for people who want to eat a healthy diet; it's simply about the fact that many consumers do NOT want added sugar in products such as cottage cheese, Mostbröckli, etc. If others (e.g. Coop, Lidl, Aldi etc.) manage to produce Cottage Cheese without sugar, then Migros should be able to do the same in my opinion.

I agree. If it's negligible, leave it out. If I buy it in the takeaway, it's just "finished" with a little sugar, so I don't have to round it off.

Migros just won't do it and, as always, talks its way out of it!
