Thank you for your inquiry. The stabilizer E407 (carrageenan) is necessary to stabilize the cream contained in the product. The amount used is minimal. The industrial nature of food production and the requirements for quality, safety, preservation, etc. necessitate the use of additives in many cases. This also applies to Migros products.
From a legal perspective, the guidelines of the federal government, which is responsible for risk assessment and the evaluation of additives, are decisive for Migros. The Additives Ordinance regulates the admissibility of various substances and lists the areas of application and maximum quantities. Switzerland coordinates its decisions with international authorities. If the federal government adapts its regulations on the use of additives such as carrageenan, Migros will of course comply.
At Migros, the principle of "as much as necessary, as little as possible" is applied to the use of additives. We are constantly working to make our recipes more natural and – as far as possible – to reduce or completely eliminate additives.
Best regards, Your M-Infoline team
