It would be interesting to know whether/how these potatoes are treated, e.g. whether they are sprayed and/or stored in growth inhibitors.
Nowadays, every product should actually state which production methods were used, especially as these can be detected in the product in one form or another (e.g. pesticides).

Hello Midors, plant protection products do not have to be declared. Only the post-harvest treatment agents for citrus fruits (e.g. if they have been treated with wax) must be declared, as these fall under the Additives Ordinance. There is no obligation to declare plant protection products, as these are also used at different times during the growth of the crop. The active ingredients are then broken down again and must of course comply with the legal regulations regarding maximum levels.
In general, our suppliers have to comply with very strict requirements regarding food safety. food safety. Migros complies with all the requirements defined by the Swiss Food Act with regard to pesticide residues.
Our range of fruit and vegetables is subject to random, risk-based checks by Migros and our suppliers to verify compliance with the regulations and ensure the quality of the products. In addition, on-site inspections are carried out at our suppliers and producers. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Dear Migros. My point was not what is required by law, but what would be useful to know from a consumer's point of view. Consumers want to be able to make good decisions and for this they need as much transparency as possible. Unfortunately, such a general answer does not help.
Growth retardants, such as those used in potatoes, have a direct influence on the growth behavior of the potatoes and therefore have a direct effect on the food. As a consumer, I would therefore like to know what is used and what is later found in one way or another in the food and at some point in my organism.
Are the quality checks referenced above available anywhere? Who checked what according to which standards and what the measured results were?

Hello Midors, thank you for your query. It's a shame that our information doesn't help you. In general, we do not publish anything about this, so it is not visible. We are guided by the legal regulations, which is what is relevant for us. Alternatively, you can of course look to organic or Demeter, which have stricter guidelines. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

I would be glad if the Migros managers would make more effort to provide customers with information on which varieties of potatoes and apples can be used for which purpose. When posting on the website.

Hello Lisabonabeth, thank you very much for your suggestion. In fact, the information you requested can mainly be found on the packaging and displays. We are happy to take on board your input regarding the website and will try to take it into account in the next revision. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
