Hello, very fine curd cheese. But why was the optimal plastic resealable lid replaced with the aluminum lid? Due to the square shape, you can't use a 'standard' resealable yogurt lid.... Could this be adapted somehow?
Hello MrGi, we made a change here because the current market is moving in the direction of packaging reduction and reusable lids. The aluminum lid is recyclable. The PET lid, on the other hand, had to be disposed of in household waste. As part of the changeover, we were aware that storing them at home can be a hassle. So we worked on a solution and developed this silicone lid. It can be used flexibly and is suitable for M-Budget low-fat quark. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello, is there a reason why the lid of the 500g low-fat quark pack is produced as "non-reclosable"? It used to be very practical because it was resealable.

Dear Migros Is this low-fat quark lactose-free? Do you still have the "Oh! High Protein Magerquark Nature lactose-free 400 g" in your range as an alternative? I'm missing this high-protein low-fat quark bomb on the app! Best regards Bonseb
Hello bonseb, the M-Budget low-fat quark is not lactose-free. The lactose-free Oh! High Protein Magerquark nature in a 400g tub will be discontinued, and the same product will be available in a 500g tub at the end of October. We also still stock the aha! low-fat quark https://www.migros.ch/en/product/200803300000, which is also lactose-free. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello, which rennet is used here? Is it microbial? Is it vegetarian? Unfortunately, this information is missing from many dairy products in the range.
Hello SumitK, thank you for your question. We produce all quark and cottage cheese from Migros' own industry (Estavayer Lait SA) without animal rennet. This also applies to our M-Budget low-fat quark. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello dear Migros team, I think it's great that you sell the plastic lids for yogurts, how about putting the low-fat quark in a round container so that you can close it with the reusable lid? Square just doesn't make sense any more.
Hello fraenzi_s, thank you very much for your message. We're so pleased that you're happy with the change! Fortunately, we can alleviate your concerns. The silicone lids are also suitable for square cup shapes. We will be happy to provide you with instructions in the form of photos. We hope these lines are informative for you. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello Migros team - how much longer will it be before you realize how customer-unfriendly the changeover was? The problem is not only the resealability but that the aluminum lids in the shopping bag are quickly punctured by other packaging because they are not strong enough due to their size.
Many lids in Germany are like this... don't see the problem... what Germany can do, Switzerland can do too...
Hello mapfi77, thank you for your message. In view of your description, we understand why you miss the plastic lid. For the sake of the environment, we decided to remove it. The current aluminum version is recyclable. The PET lid, on the other hand, had to be disposed of in the household waste. However, we share your opinion that you don't always have the desire or the opportunity to consume the entire amount at once. We took this aspect into consideration and developed this silicone lid, which is also suitable for square shapes. We understand your objections regarding possible damage. However, the advantages of the change outweighed the disadvantages. We therefore recommend that you transport the products with appropriate care. No adjustment is currently planned. However, we are happy to take up the point you raised again and initiate further measures if necessary. We hope that our approach will meet with your approval. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Remove the plastic lids for environmental reasons but leave the stupid collectible figures in the range 🤣🤦♀️ just be consistent in your actions.

We also wondered (and were annoyed) why they switched to aluminum lids. The aluminum lid usually tears when opened (if it hasn't already broken in the shopping bag) and we would never have thought of recycling it. We bought the silicone lid linked below and tried it out. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit on the square cup, or it can be put on with a lot of force, but the cup bends and tears or buckles. A round cup would already help (the silicone lid and the hard plastic lid from Coop would also fit).
Why did they change the lid to aluminum foil? I find that very impractical!
Hello befat, thank you for your question. We made a change because the current market is moving in the direction of packaging reduction and reusable lids. The aluminum lid is recyclable. The PET lid, on the other hand, had to be disposed of in household waste. For some time now, we have been offering the silicone lid, which can be used flexibly. You can see the product image here and you can also check availability in your area here: https://www.migros.ch/en/product/704527600000. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team
Thanks for the answer, the recyclable lid is certainly better for disposal.
Nobody, absolutely NOBODY recycles this aluminum lid! Now more aluminum and dried curd just ends up in the trash. I don't use the silicone lids because cleaning them is too much work. However, I would buy a suitable hard plastic lid that can go in the dishwasher.
Hello Salurii, thank you very much for your reply. As we have a lot of different cup variants in the cream cheese/yoghurt/desserts area, there are currently no plans for a hard plastic lid. The silicone lid can be used to reseal different cup variants. However, we have taken this point on board as we have already received a lot of feedback on this topic. We are looking into the various options for the next product range change, which is planned for the middle of next year. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
It would be great if the developers of such useless lids would think about something before they produce such nonsense. Maybe ask your mother? Until you offer a suitable hard plastic lid, I'll be buying my low-fat quark from other suppliers, as I already do countless other things. The range in Migros is just a crying shame, because practically all my products are no longer available. It used to be once a year, now it's almost every week. Do you really want to get rid of your customers by any means necessary? Very intelligent.

The aluminum closure sucks, I'm going to try it with your silicone lid I just ordered and I hope it works, if not make round jars, the universal hard plastic lids work very well.
Hello Ladyalessia, thank you for your message. We regret that you miss the plastic lid on this product. We have made this change because the current market is moving towards reduced packaging and reusable lids. The aluminum lid is recyclable. The PET lid, on the other hand, should have been disposed of in the household waste. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

@M-Infoline: Have you tried "fitting" that silicone lid you recommended to me onto the curd? It works VERY suboptimal... squaring the circle ... Luckily I saved the old lid from the last cup! I'm going to treat it like a raw egg so that I can use it for as long as possible...
Hello schoggijob, thank you for your feedback. We have put together a set of instructions for you. We hope the photos will help you. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
"Luckily I kept the old lid from the last cup!" Enviable!!! - Unfortunately I missed that!!! :-(
The silicone lid reminds me of a Durex product ;-)
Now my question once again, maybe you will get an answer! How do you intend to solve the problem with the best-before date printed on the lid?
The best-before date for chilled products is always valid for the unopened product; once opened, it must be consumed quickly anyway, regardless of the current closure.
I wish I had kept another lid 😭
