Dear Migipedi team,
Which country do these cucumbers come from? It only says "Made in Switzerland".
I have fallen for it before with the M- Budget gherkins and in the end the gherkins came from India.
Thank you

The exact origin of the cucumbers used can vary. Some are produced with Swiss cucumbers, while others use imported raw materials, depending on availability.
Hello Yolibolli, thank you for your inquiry. There are various suppliers behind the "Condy" brand. An article number would therefore be helpful for our further clarifications, preferably with the best-before date and batch number. We will then be happy to check the origin for you, as - as Floars rightly points out - this can vary depending on the availability of the raw materials. Here's another tip: if you prefer gherkins from the local area, you're on the right track with Swiss gherkins. Best regards, Tabea

Thanks for the clarification! I didn't even notice the Swiss cucumbers, next time I'll buy those.
My current jar:
This is why we currently also source our cucumbers from North Macedonia, Germany, Albania, Kosovo and Serbia, for example. The label "élaboré en Suisse" refers to the place of processing. As the countries change depending on availability, it is very difficult for us to adapt the wording on the labels in each case.

" ... We understand your desire for Swiss raw materials. Domestic goods also have priority for us. Even if we are sometimes able to source individual vegetables from local suppliers, the quantities are not sufficient.
