Hello dear Migros team
I recently noticed that the taste of iced tea sometimes changes slightly. Funnily enough, only some of them. As an example, I bought a 4-pack that had a shelf life until August 2025 and tasted the same as usual. Now I've opened a pack where they all have a shelf life until November 2025 and they taste different somehow. Almost as if the lemon content was slightly higher? I've noticed this before and I started buying packs that didn't have such a long shelf life because I always got the normal taste, but it happened from time to time with those that had a longer shelf life. Could it be that the taste of "newer" packs is slightly different and that the typical taste only becomes established after some time? This was also the case back then, when the minimum shelf life was 3 months rather than a year. For a long time I used to buy packs that only had 1-2 months left instead of the full 3 months. I was just curious if others have noticed this too and if there really is something to it, or if the difference in taste comes from something else, especially because I've noticed it several times now over a 1-2 year period.
Thank you for reading!
Hi Revie, thanks for your message. Interesting observation! We would like to discuss this with our specialist department. Can you let us know the lot number of the current pack, which has a shelf life until November 2025? Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Yes of course, the number is 2019913705. Thank you very much
Hi Revie, thank you for your patience. We discussed your request with our specialist department. We found out that we have not changed the recipe for our lemon iced tea.
The taste of the iced tea may change within the best-before date, especially in the first 4 to 6 weeks after production. This is because the flavours harmonize during this time. Please note that storage conditions can also affect the taste. In general, we recommend storing the iced tea in a cool, dry place. Nevertheless, we will pay attention to this issue. Thank you very much for taking the time to tell us about your findings 😊. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Thank you very much for your feedback!
That definitely explains the difference in taste, so I'll just pay attention to the date in future :) Thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort to clarify the matter, I really appreciate it. Best regards!

Hello dear MigorsTeam I always buy the IceTea pack during promotions. The best IceTea!!!! But today I noticed something: Normally, when I buy these, they have a shelf life of 3 months at most. It's always been like that. But today I bought peach & lemon and they are both valid until 2025! Peach until 03.02.2025 and lemon until 16.01.2025. Can that be? Thank you very much!
Hello Hello2023, thank you for your inquiry. We can understand your surprise in this regard.
No changes have been made to the recipe. Tests at the supplier have shown that the best-before date can be extended to 1 year without any loss of taste or quality. For this reason, we have adjusted the best-before date for all Kult Ice Teas. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Good evening, I'm part of an ice hockey team in the 2nd league and I wanted to know if you would sponsor us to buy trainings and put the Ice Tea logo on them. I know there wouldn't be much visibility, but it would be a point of pride 😅 I've been drinking your beverage for over 20 years and it's more than a love story😍
Hello Fredo13Fux, and thank you for your inquiry. We're delighted to hear that you have a love affair with our cult Ice Tea! Unfortunately, sponsorship is not possible - thank you for your understanding. We wish you continued success with your team. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Good evening In the last few weeks I have the feeling that the taste has unfortunately changed (more watery). Have the ingredients been changed? More water content?
Hello V1, can you please tell us the best-before date and the lot number? Best regards, your M-Infoline team
30.03.2023 L0002612876 10 pack
Don't think a batch has "failed", just the sugar content has been minimally reduced.
Hello V1, we are still looking into your request. We will get back to you as soon as we receive feedback. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hello V1, thank you for your patience. The specialist department did indeed detect a change in taste. We attribute this to a slight fluctuation in the raw material. As Kult Ice Tea is brewed from real tea leaves, this can unfortunately occur in very rare cases. The raw materials for Kult Ice Tea are subject to strict quality controls, which ensure that Kult Ice Tea always tastes the same, but slight fluctuations can unfortunately occur in rare cases. We have immediately tightened the raw material controls and thank you for your report. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Very fine drink!
Has anything changed? Still good but it seems different ?♀️
Hi monchichi, thank you for your question. We would never dare to make changes to a mythical product! ;-) Could you please give us the lot number and expiration date? So we can check if there were any production anomalies. Kind regards, Your M-Infoline team
Thank you for your reply , I can't give you the information because the 12 pack I had bought is now finished ?

What is the shelf life of the Iceteas?
Hello Fabiankrucker, thank you for your question. The question of how long the contents of an opened pack can still be consumed is difficult to answer. This is because the shelf life not only varies depending on the product, but also on how the product is stored or handled after opening. For example, if you drink directly from an opened ice pack, the contents will spoil more quickly than if you handle it hygienically. It is best to rely on your senses and experience. Most spoilage reactions are visible (e.g. mold infestation) or perceptible in taste (musty smell, souring, rancidity, etc.). If in doubt: throw it away! We hope we were able to answer your question and wish you a pleasant day. your M-Infoline Team
