Hi, after reading dozens of comments about this product, I'm still a bit confused about pasteurization etc. Some replies from Migros claim that the sauerkraut is not heat-treated (pasteurized). If there really are still live bacteria (the good ones!) in it, the bag should swell. Or there should be a valve on the packaging. I and certainly most raw sauerkraut lovers want live bacteria! Could you please clarify this and preferably print appropriate consumer information on the bag? Many thanks
Hello Paratech, thank you for your message. The raw organic sauerkraut in the bag is not pasteurized. It is fermented and still contains lactic acid bacteria. The product has a packaging with a higher air permeability (this is like a "valve") than other sauerkraut bags, which are pasteurized. This greatly reduces the risk of bloating. The raw organic sauerkraut is also fermented for longer and is at the end of the fermentation phase. In rare cases, however, the product can also bloat slightly. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Thank you! I will buy it again straight away.
And what is the difference between this and raw suur chili, apart from the fact that the latter uses cooking salt instead of sea salt?
Hello Migosa, thank you for your question. With organic sauerkraut in a bag, a "post-fermentation" takes place in addition to the normal fermentation. This "post-fermentation" ensures that the bag does not bloat afterwards. Suurchabis is only fermented once. For this reason, it also has a valve in the cup. There can be differences in taste, both between the products and within the product. For example, the "early kabis" is slightly different from the "late kabis" (variety, firmness, etc.).

Is this product pasteurized or not?
Hello BoR, thank you for your inquiry. The product is not pasteurized. It therefore contains all the valuable lactic acid bacteria. The term "raw" does not refer to raw food, but to the fact that no other ingredients such as wine, bouillon etc. are included in the product. It is therefore a "pure" sauerkraut.

Hi, I bought some raw organic sauerkraut, but I don't know if I should wash it before eating it raw or cooking it? And if I want to cook it, do you know if I should add water? I'd like to thank you in advance and wish you all the best for the festive season. Cédric Galeazzi
Good evening cegleazzi Please see below for answers from M-Infoline and myself. Do not wash... Best regards Frederica
Hello cgaleazzi, and thank you for your request. Our organic sauerkraut does not necessarily need to be washed. It can also be eaten raw. If you want to cook it, you'll need to add water or stock, depending on the recipe. There are many ways to prepare it in cookery books and recipes on the Internet. Sincerely, your M-Infoline team

Some raw food sites write that sauerkraut can be eaten raw. Can Migros sauerkraut be eaten raw or does it still have to be cooked? Thank you.
Good evening. Mingeza Raw sauerkraut is delicious with flaxseed oil drizzled over it in salads or as an accompaniment to many dishes. From time to time I eat two or three forks of raw sauerkraut before cooking. It should be healthy.M-Infoline wrote 5 years ago: Yes, raw organic sauerkraut can also be eaten without heating.Best regards Frederica
Hi Mingeza, You can eat our organic raw sauerkraut without cooking it. This product, which is not pasteurized, is very healthy, precious and refined when eaten raw. Of course, it can also be eaten cooked. Sincerely and bon appétit, your M-Infoline team

I'd like to know whether raw organic sauerkraut is pasteurized or not. Unfortunately, the label doesn't mention it, which I think is a mistake. Other products do (e.g. https://produkte.migros.ch/suurchabis-roh).
Hello Ney, thank you for your inquiry. Organic raw sauerkraut is not pasteurized. It therefore still contains valuable lactic acid bacteria, in particular lactobacilli. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello, I would like to know whether the "BIO sauerkraut raw" is pasteurized or not. The information on the packaging is not entirely clear to me. It is a question of whether the lactic acid bacteria are still present or have been killed off. I know the unpasteurized "sauerkraut in a pot". https://produkte.migros.ch/suurchabis-rohUnfortunately, this is not organically grown.
My question has been answered. I've just seen that it has already been answered before. The words "unpasteurized" and "lactic acid bacteria preserved" should be added to the packaging! (Just like on the "Suurchabis in a cup". Then it would really be clear to everyone.
Hello Chondro, thank you for your question. We have gladly informed the responsible specialist department about your packaging instructions. The organic sauerkraut raw is not pasteurized. The product therefore still contains the valuable lactic acid bacteria - especially lactobacilli. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Dear Sir or Madam > Which vitamins are contained in organic sauerkraut from Migros? And is it really organic? And is the sauerkraut raw or pasteurized? What damage is caused by pasteurization? Thank you very much. hz.
Thank you for your interest fuchs1946. We are happy to assure you that if our products are labeled organic, they are also organic. Sauerkraut consists of valuable ingredients such as vitamins (B vitamins [B1, B2, B6, B12], vitamin D, vitamin K and pantothenolic acid), minerals (iron and calcium) and fiber. When it comes to vitamins, vitamin C is particularly worth mentioning: just 200 g of sauerkraut covers more than half an adult's daily requirement of vitamin C. The so-called spontaneous fermentation process is used for raw organic sauerkraut. This means without further heat treatment or pasteurization. Pasteurization would inactivate the bacteria it contains - especially lactic acid bacteria. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

I was disappointed by this product because it is not really raw! In which store in Binningen can I buy the L+ Sauerkraut?
Guest
Oh well, I had the idea that it wasn't pasteurized because it's called raw... Do you know where the packaging with the valve is made? Do you have an address? I'm going to sell fermented vegetables in the Netherlands where I love and I'm not looking for good packaging.
Dear guest
Thank you for your interest.
The film of the bags is made of polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate.
