Rock-hard peaches???

Steinharte Pfirsiche???

I'm a pensioner and probably already a bit out of the picture: the range in our store used to be more limited. There were maybe 2-3 varieties of peaches. But every purchase was a success: the peaches were soft and ripe and refreshing. Today there are perhaps twice as many varieties, which look beautiful, but when I get home I'm systematically frustrated: they're rock hard, hard to pick and even harder to bite into. And they taste like apples. Question: is the age of normal, fruity and easy-to-eat peaches definitely over? I'm about to turn my back on peaches from Migros.

Haha, I knew that was coming from you, dear Indios. I'm of the opinion that Aldi and Lidl don't offer better quality fruit and vegetables than Migros and Coop. But maybe it's different in your region.

Thank you all very much for your numerous contributions and advice. Perhaps they really will bring a tiny improvement??? Since I think everything has been said, I suggest we close this topic. Take care, and have a nice end to the summer. Best regards Christian Masur

Which is also a problem, they are rock hard in the store, you buy one and leave it for 1 to 2 days, you can dispose of it thanks to mold.

Everything has to grow as quickly as possible and be as cheap as possible. It turns your stomach when you look at where the fruit comes from. In Spain, huge areas are covered with plastic sheeting and tomatoes, for example, are given an artificial day-night rhythm. The heat is also increasingly coming into play. Unfortunately, I have this problem with all stores.

Hello Masur, it's great that you've been a Migros customer for so long - we really appreciate that! I'm sorry that our peaches disappointed you. Getting fruit and vegetables onto the shelves at the optimum degree of ripeness is not that easy. On the one hand, the goods need to arrive in our stores ripe and full of flavor. On the other hand, they need to be easy to transport and not spoil just a few days after being sold. These are two very different requirements, and we try to guarantee flawless goods by imposing clear requirements on our suppliers and carrying out strict checks on incoming goods. Unfortunately, we cannot immediately recognize certain signs from the outside during spot checks or they only become apparent after some time. I have informed the purchasing department and quality assurance accordingly. Thank you very much for your tip and best regards, Susi

Disastrous. I bought premium peaches in Migros Zollikon today. Completely inedible. Mushy on the outside but they don't come off the stone. Artificial ripening probably the problem. Herewith my very last attempt to buy fruit in Migros. Aldi Feldmeilen 10x better and cheaper.

Hello Rost8702, thank you for your message. We regret that you did not enjoy it. In view of your description and after examining the picture, we understand your disappointment. We do not use artificial maturation. Nevertheless, your experience allows us to draw clear conclusions. Fruit and vegetables are susceptible to deviations due to their natural characteristics. That's why it's admittedly difficult for us to get such foods onto our shelves at the optimum degree of ripeness: On the one hand, the goods should arrive in our stores ripe and full of flavor; on the other hand, they must be easy to transport and must not spoil just a few days after being sold. These are two different requirements. That is why we rely on numerous controls. We are sorry that we were not able to identify the hard and mushy specimens in good time as part of these measures and this is certainly not in our interests. We have therefore asked all the departments involved to streamline the checks. Of course, you have the option of returning the products to the place of purchase. This is because we cannot refund the purchase price in the forum. Kind regards, Tabea
