Hello Migros team,
Could you please tell me the W value in the classic sense (dough strength / gluten strength, e.g. W250, W300 etc.)?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Hello fkzmaz, thank you for your question. The W value is a measurement parameter in flour analysis that is rarely used in Switzerland. We analyze our flours using other parameters. We are therefore unable to provide you with any more precise information. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

What type of flour does this product contain? Why is it not declared anywhere?
Hello mailawb, flour types are mainly declared on flour packaging in Germany and France. The flour type indicates how many minerals in mg per 100 g of flour are contained in the dry matter and depends on the degree of grinding. Most customers in Switzerland are not familiar with this information on flour types and it is therefore not printed on the packaging.
In Switzerland, the term is only used within the industry, but the term "Mehlyp", "Type farine" or "Farino tipo" appears repeatedly on German, French and Italian packaging and causes confusion. M-Budget household flour corresponds to a normal white flour type 400. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello, can flour contain traces of nuts or soy?
Hello gdaguet, with this flour, you shouldn't expect any traces of nuts or soya. Otherwise, there would be a trace indication on the packaging. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello, what is the W plant of this flour, thank you.
Hello PlaTyPuS, thank you for your inquiry. We are pleased that you are interested in the product. We were happy to make enquiries with the relevant specialist department. The clarifications took longer than expected. We apologize for the delay in responding. The test from any production series resulted in a W value of 65.2g/100g. The result fully meets our expectations and guarantees good baking quality. We hope this information is helpful to you. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Dear M-Infoline Team Is the flour vegan or has it not been treated with the animal-based L-cysteine (E 920) flour treatment agent? Are the additives in the products generally also shown on the list of ingredients? LG
Hello Alnatura_Liebhaber, the household flour M-Budget does not contain L-cysteine (E920); this would otherwise be stated in the list of ingredients. Additives are subject to declaration. In this context, you may be interested to know that L-cysteine is no longer usually of animal origin, but is mainly produced using biotechnological processes in which bacteria produce large quantities of the desired cysteine from sugar and some mineral salts.

You write below that this flour is 100% Swiss. Does this mean that the wheat used in M-Budget household flour was or is still grown exclusively (100%) in Switzerland and is not imported?
Hello ivan92, your assumption is correct. The wheat comes exclusively from Switzerland. It is still a 100% Swiss product. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Is this flour made from conventionally grown wheat?
Hello ivan92 Thank you for your interest. Yes, the flour is made with conventionally grown wheat. If this were not the case, we would declare it on the packaging. We wish you a nice weekend. Kind regards from your M-Infoline team

was the flour lightened ? is something added to the flour ? what method was used to grind the flour ?
Hello Dokter_Hund Thank you for your contribution. We are pleased that you are one of our valued customers and would like to inform you that M-Budget flour is made from 100% soft wheat and no other additives are added. M-Budget household flour is a type 550 white flour with a milling ratio of around 65%. This means that most of the flour comes from the flour kernel, which is light in color. In the mill, the grain is ground using so-called roller mills with different rollers. The wheat is milled in several steps and sieved at the same time so that the desired fineness and brightness can be achieved. We hope our answer has clarified things for you and wish you a sunny day. Best wishes Josh Your M-Infoline team
