Hello :)
I was a big fan of this cream cheese and think it tastes much better than the branded products. However, I no longer buy it since I realized how bad the animal welfare of this cream cheese is. I (and I'm sure other consumers) would be prepared to pay a little more if the animal welfare was better. Is there any prospect of improvement, i.e. are there any plans to make changes? That would be really great!
Kind regards
The 1 star is because of the origin... is below...
If you want to pay more, take other cream cheeses, I don't want this cheese to be more expensive

Has the recipe changed in the last few months? Doesn't taste the same to me as it used to!
Hello Bex42bex, thank you for your inquiry. Please let us know what changes in taste you have noticed in recent months. We will be happy to clarify this further with the relevant specialist department. If you are still in possession of the packaging, the best-before date and batch number would be very useful to us. The batch number is located near the best-before date and is made up of a combination of letters and numbers. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hello, I can confirm this. We have been fans of cream cheese for many years, but for a few days/weeks now it has tasted more rancid to us and also seems to release water more quickly. An affected batch number could be L102. Kind regards and thanks for clarifying.
Hello MigrosFamilia, thank you for giving us the batch number. Can you take this opportunity to tell us the best-before date? We would be happy to check the production. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hello, The date on this product is 14.04.2025, but it is now the third time we have noticed this. That is why we are now researching online whether the recipe has changed or whether this is temporary. Thank you and best regards
In my case the batch number L104, shelf life 17.03.2025
Taste less fresh, an off-flavor, less airy in consistency.
Hello 1279, thank you for your reply. We have good news: The recipe is unchanged. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team

The M-check for animal welfare is indicated on the packaging with 1 star, online with two. Why is there a difference and why is the rating so bad: what do you do with the cows that give the milk for the cheese?
Hello Luckyverena, thank you for your inquiry and your interest in the M-Check. The different ratings on the website (2 stars) and the packaging (1 star) are due to the fact that we are able to react quickly to any changes online. We update and refine the ratings on an ongoing basis. However, we do not revise packaging just as regularly. This is why the online ratings are always up to date, but those on the packaging are only updated when the next adjustments are made. If you are unsure about a rating, we recommend that you take a look at the website.
As far as the animal welfare rating of two stars is concerned, this is due to the origin. This cream cheese uses animal products from abroad. We have been working intensively on the implementation of Swiss animal welfare standards abroad since 2013. Although this has enabled us to achieve many important improvements on foreign farms, the transition has been difficult to varying degrees depending on the type of animal. We therefore communicated early on that we would not be able to implement our promise 100%. As a result, you will find a few products with two animal welfare stars in our range. With the M-Check, however, we have the option of communicating this fact transparently to the outside world. We hope these lines are informative for you. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Why is the M-Check only available for M-Buget and not for all other brands? Animal welfare is particularly important to me.
Because Migros can only use M-Check for Migros' own products, and Philadelphia makes no exception for Migros.
Hi Elena20, the M-Check can be found on all Migros own brands, not just M-Budget. Around 80% of our product range is private label. We can therefore implement a sustainability assessment such as the M-Check across all product groups. However, in the interests of comprehensive transparency, it would also be desirable for us if other manufacturers were to adopt our product assessment methodology for sustainability.

Why does cream cheese score so poorly in terms of animal welfare?
Hello ZwiebelLilie, thank you for your inquiry. We are happy to help clarify the situation. Milk from the EU receives a lower rating than milk from Switzerland because, among other things, the requirements for the stables are lower. You can find more information on this topic here.

I've been wanting to order the herb cheese for three weeks. But it is not available. I would like to know if it will ever come again? I cook for children in the Biel area and they love the cheese.
Migros is there no answer here to the question that has been asked several times? The rack is empty, why?
Hello enrica1965, thank you for your question. There is currently a supply interruption for this product. However, the good news is that the item will be back at the end of July. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Thank you very much, that's great when he comes back, best regards Erika Moosmann

I agree with ronitito: Why is it no longer available? Is there a supply shortage or has it been removed from the range? This herb cream cheese tastes fantastic, can be used many times and is unbeatably cheap!
Hello mtwi, thank you for your question. There is indeed a supply interruption for this cream cheese at the moment. We can expect to deliver the product again at the end of July. So please be patient a little longer. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello ronitito We have gladly consulted with our specialist department. During the last two weeks there was a national delivery interruption on the product - we apologize for this. The article can be ordered again from today and should therefore be available again from the middle/end of the week. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello M-Infoline, August/September is now passé, and the lids are still tearing away.... . Any update on this?
Hello andygirl, thank you for your question. We have checked the current status with our manufacturer for you. The tests for adapting the film have now been completed. We plan to be able to implement the changes by the beginning of next year. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hello everyone, I don't know what adjustments have been made, but it definitely hasn't gotten any better. There are worse things, but it's frustrating when you try your "luck" again and again and then end up with countless aluminum blocks...
Hello andygirl, thank you for your inquiry. The specialist department informed us that the adjustment has already been made. In order to get to the bottom of the discrepancy you described, it would be helpful if you could send us photos to the following email: m-Infoline@migros.ch. Please note Migipedia and your reference number 20220525-0132 in the subject line. We thank you in advance for your valuable support. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hello everyone, the adjustment has actually been made - the packaging is relatively easy to open again (caution is still advised). Thank you!
Hello andygirl, thank you very much for your message. We are delighted that you are happy with our optimizations! We wish you unforgettable moments of pleasure! Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Has the recipe for this product changed? The currently opened packs contain very runny cream cheese that is almost impossible to spread. Its consistency is more reminiscent of crème fraîche than the cream cheese we are used to... Bühler family
Hello Bühler family, thank you very much for your message. The cream cheese should already be spreadable. Could you please give us the best-before date and the lot number next to it so that we can check the production concerned? Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hello MHD = 04.10.2021 / L10 / 16:03 Best regards, Bühler family
Dear Bühler family, thank you very much for your feedback. We have discussed your report with the manufacturer and the specialist department. The retained samples we checked were all flawless and had a perfect consistency. We can also confirm that the recipe is unchanged. However, it is possible that the cream cheese may become slightly softer after repeated stirring. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
