Dear Migros team, I don't quite understand how a product from the dairy industry can receive 4 out of 5 stars. Even if this milk is most probably better than others, in my opinion such products do not deserve any stars at all. This only leads to people worrying even less about such important issues, as 4 out of 5 stars is no reason to worry about anything...
Hello MoMel, thank you very much for the question. We can understand your reasoning. For our dairy products, the HAFL School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences assesses the animal welfare of each product. The relevant areas and criteria for each species are decisive for animal welfare. There is a clear hierarchy in a herd of cows. To ensure that low-ranking animals can also eat undisturbed, the HAFL School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences checks whether there are enough feeding places for the animals. In addition, free-range housing is rated better than tethered housing because the cows can better express their herd and movement behavior in the loose housing. Regular access to pasture is also important for animal-friendly milk production, weather permitting. You can find more information on the criteria for dairy products at the following link: https://www.migros.ch/de/unternehmen/nachhaltigkeit/nachhaltige-produkte/tipps-tricks/m-check/tierwohl/tierwohl-milchprodukte.html. Kind regards, Matteo
