Generoso-Cake

Hello MangoFan, neither fresh eggs nor raw milk/cream are used for the industrial production of patisserie, cakes and tarts etc. For hygienic reasons, liquid egg (a pasteurized egg mass) and pasteurized milk or pasteurized cream are used in industrial food production. Therefore, these products can also be consumed by pregnant women without hesitation. However, we would like to point out that both Monte Generoso Cake and most Black Forest cakes contain alcoholic ingredients. Alcohol should be avoided as much as possible during pregnancy. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello Snorlax, thank you for your question. That was probably the lemon-flavored Monte "Limone". We discontinued the product in 2022. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Good morning Clambrosi, thank you very much for your question. The article was originally launched by the former Jowa enterprise. Unfortunately, we do not have any other detailed information. We trust in your understanding. Best regards, Your M-Infoline team

Hello Sheily, the Monte Generoso Cake is vegetarian as per the recipe. It also contains no additives of animal origin. However, it has not been certified as vegetarian and therefore does not carry the corresponding V-label "vegetarian" on the packaging. Regarding the emulsifiers (E 471, E 472 etc.): these additives are based on fat building blocks (fatty acids or glycerine). The fat used for their production is usually of vegetable origin (palm kernel oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, etc.). Theoretically, the fat can also be of animal origin (pork and/or beef fat), but this is no longer common today. It can now be assumed that emulsifiers or other fat-based additives are of vegetable origin. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello Lilana, thank you for your message. In view of your description, we understand why you are refraining from enjoying this delicious treat. At the same time, we appreciate you drawing our attention to a new composition. We are always open to suggestions about our range! For this reason, our specialist department will be happy to take up your idea as part of the next redesign of our range. If necessary, they will add a vegan option to the current selection :-). We hope our efforts are in your interest. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

what a great idea! i was just about to ask the same question! my family can't eat generoso anymore and miss it very much!

Not being able to eat is the wrong statement. You don't want to eat Generoso Cake because it has animal ingredients. It is your personal decision!

@Magnoliapower Not necessarily, my lactose intolerance was also one of the reasons why I decided to go vegan, as it is better for my health.

It's also a limited edition.... If this variety is in high demand, will that perhaps lead to them leaving it in the rack after all?

Hello djbetty, thank you for your question. As we received many customer requests in which our customers wanted an additional version, we decided to take this step. On Migipedia you also have the opportunity to vote for your favorite version. It is important to us to take customer opinions seriously and, where possible, to adapt our range accordingly. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

I don't need Generoso without alcohol, but more people have asked for it here, you said: "The Generoso cake has been one of our best-selling cakes for years. We still stock it with the original recipe, which contains cherry. " and " We are sticking to this recipe with cherry because the cake is so popular and we have no plans to change it" Now you are making a different version, it just doesn't make sense. Nowhere have I read customer requests for a different Generoso cake. What makes you think that? Where do you see the desire for a different flavor?

Hello djbetty, thank you for your reply. Our people in charge have decided to launch an additional limited edition, which our community can vote on. However, this has nothing to do with the classic you mentioned. The new version would also be on offer. Incidentally, the three versions available for voting do not contain alcohol. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello Leandra10-_, thank you for your question. The Generoso cake has been one of our best-selling cakes for years. We still stock it with the original recipe, which contains cherry. We state this in the declaration. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Why can't you make the cake without the cherry?

You could, but if it's a best-selling Migros cake for decades, you shouldn't change anything about it, one of the few M classics still in the range. But it didn't used to contain palm oil.

Hello Rhyfallforelle, thank you for your comment. Palm oil has been included in the recipe since the beginning. Before 2014, the legal requirement was that only vegetable oil had to be declared and not the exact source. The Food Act was then amended in 2014. This stipulates that the origin of vegetable oils must also be declared, and we have been declaring palm oil on the packaging accordingly since 2014. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello Leandra10-_, thank you for your feedback. We are sticking to this recipe with cherry as the cake is so popular and we have no plans to change it - thank you for your understanding. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Okay, thank you Migros for your answers, best regards.

Hello Chantami, thank you for your question. We're sorry that the Generoso cake didn't convince you as usual. We are pleased to inform you that this product has not undergone any recipe changes. The article is much appreciated as it is. Sincerely, your M-Infoline team
