Hello, I would like to ask what kind of plastic the packaging is made of and what about sustainability and whether there are any risks of migration from the packaging to the product. Would it be possible to get a specification of the packaging? Kind regards Migifan 2
Hello Migifan2, thank you very much for your inquiry. The packaging is made from recycled PET (RPET). The packaging can be 100% recycled if it is disposed of appropriately. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

We bought the grapes this week. Couldn't eat them, they were totally sour, had no flavor, just a cheek what fruit is being sold lately. I wonder how they get through the inspection. Because this isn't the first pack that wasn't good either, but this one was so bad that I had to throw it away. You really couldn't eat it. And I hate throwing food away. Take a look at what fruit is on the shelves at what time of year. It's better to have less, but better quality. Sorry, I wasn't logged in earlier.
Hello funkigirl
Thank you for your message. We are sorry that you could not enjoy our grapes - please accept our apologies. Do you still have the packaging and can you give us the M-date (best-before date) and the lot number (starts with L... or there are mixed letters and numbers)? Only with this information can we respond to your request - thank you for your understanding!
Best regards from the M-Infoline team
Hello,
no unfortunately I no longer have the packaging either. I had already thrown it all away. I'll keep it next time.
I also had bad luck with the mini watermelons last week. I asked the seller if he could give me a ripe one. He did so very kindly. But when we wanted to eat the melon at home, it wasn't edible at all. It was like washing powder. When I wanted to give it back, he said it was just good luck. You can't take it back. But then I got angry and argued with her until I got my money back. At some point I've had enough. I've only ever been a Migro customer, but I'll only buy fruit occasionally. I really feel like I've been taken for a ride. Sorry for the expression.

I wanted to buy seedless grapes yesterday, but noticed that they came from Brazil. Unfortunately, it was not stated whether they had been brought to Europe by ship or by plane. Why is it not possible to declare the mode of transportation on the packaging?
Dear guest
Thank you for your interest.
As we always try to source our goods as sustainably as possible, we can assure you that the grapes reach us by ship.
We do not make this declaration because we generally have our products transported by ship whenever possible. In exceptional cases, goods are transported by air. However, at around 2% of all goods, this is only a very small proportion.
Often the goods from overseas are destined for the entire European market, so that no migros-specific labeling is possible. But we can assure you that sustainability is also an important criterion for us.

Too bad I missed spring and summer 2012 and it's already fall and grape season. Joking aside, it is absolutely questionable to offer non-seasonal fruit in the middle of winter. The argument that it is a customer need is not true; a need was created that never existed in the first place. It contributes significantly to the lack of appreciation and waste of food in society.
Migros, with its propagated sustainability, should take on a pioneering role here and massively restrict the globalization of food.
Dear guest
For Migros, it is important to meet the needs and wishes of many customers. We are aware that there are customers who consider the import of fresh products to be unnecessary. For many, however, these products are now a matter of course and are on their shopping list, and everyone should be able to decide for themselves which products they want to buy and which not. We provide the necessary information for this decision. The origin of each individual product is listed on the products or on the shelves.
We assure you that a product that is not purchased will be removed from the range. This issue is important to us and has been on our minds for a long time. We are making every effort to ensure that the entire domestic production can be marketed.

Important: A clear distinction must be made between needs and wishes! Migipedia is not the only place where this distinction is often made. Needs are universal and every person in the world is entitled to full fulfillment of their needs. Needs are based on bio-psycho-social characteristics of people and can be justified by human rights. Wishes are individual, culturally conditioned. In contrast to the satisfaction of needs, their fulfillment is not mandatory in order to be a "person-in-society". LG, "Twilight"
PS: Grapes are absolutely not necessary to satisfy the needs of customers. At most, they meet the individual wishes of individual customers who are not concerned about issues such as sustainability or who treat themselves to the famous exception.
One (as one of several) problem(s) in this context seems to me to lie in the 'power of differentiation' in relation to needs vs. desires: Who makes these determinations or distinctions when/where(too) and how (on what basis)?
There are a number of (fresh) products that are a central component of various There are a number of (fresh) products that are a central part of various national cuisines/national dishes/traditions etc. (such as grapes at the turn of the year) that can be prepared - even if they are "unnecessary"/ out of season ETC. - may be a need.
I agree: "power of differentiation" or power of definition can become a problem here. But not through the justified differentiation of needs vs. desires, but precisely through this everyday theoretical confusion.
Needs are rooted in the bio-psycho-social human condition. They are inner target values such as "physical integrity" (bio), "meaning" (psycho), "binding relationships" (social). If needs are insufficiently satisfied, people suffer social, psychological and ultimately physical damage. Needs have always existed and will always exist.
Desires can be defined by us as legitimate or illegitimate. They are aroused, can vary from person to person and according to social conditions, change and are transient.
It is clear to me that imported grapes out of season do not meet any needs. "Imported grapes out of season" is a NEED that awakens the DESIRE to "eat imported grapes out of season". I have denounced this desire as (rather) illegitimate. But that doesn't mean that the desire can't be legitimate ;-).
Scientists who have theoretically addressed bio-psycho-social needs: Werner Obrecht, Silvia Staub-Bernasconi, Ilse Arlt, Klaus Grawe.
Kind regards, "Twilight"
@Twilight: Unfortunately, without even having read up on this topic, I am still somewhat skeptical with regard to (only) a differentiation (based on what?) between the (German-speaking) terms "needs" vs.(?) "wishes".
In the context relevant here, it will probably be primarily 'everyday-theoretically mixed' motives and points of view that underlie the various customer attitudes, expectations or even needs/desires (usually not reflected in detail), however deeply - and determine daily (shopping and consumption) behavior. Defining desires as legitimate or non-legitimate seems tricky to me, and I also think that needs are also highly variable. With regard to these grapes (as an example), their import presumably or hopefully has more far-reaching positive aspects than "just" meeting the desire for them at such an early stage...(?). LG
Dear Maripac, I'm sorry, I'm far too complicated and disturbed in this regard. But I maintain that needs are highly universal, grapes never correspond to a need, but to a desire. Grapes are probably defined by each of us, whether consciously or not or whether explicitly or implicitly, as legitimate or not legitimate. LG
Dear Twilight,
I enjoy reading all your posts and do so voluntarily - so you don't have to be 'sorry' at all :). Nor do I agree with the second part of your sentence.
The connection "(il-)legitimate grapes" is not exactly on the tip of my tongue for various reasons, but perhaps the aforementioned 'implicit evaluations' do indeed take place (?). The numerous + diverse customer reviews, with varying degrees of explicitness, are probably quite a challenge, not least for the M-Infoline team :(. GOOD LUCK
