I regularly eat Optigal chicken breast from Migros and am always happy with it. My question: Are antibiotics used in the rearing and keeping of the chicken? If so, is any of it still present after preparation?
Hello DrPollo, thank you for your question. Antibiotics are used in the event of illness (as in human medicine) - under prescription from a veterinarian. There are clear withdrawal periods from when to when antibiotics may be used. The aim of these withdrawal periods is to ensure that the antibiotic substances are broken down by the time the animal is slaughtered. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

I have to say something here - the Optigal chicken products are just so much tougher! The chicken breasts from the Coop are much more tender, I don't know why. Several people confirm my experience. Is there a reason for this?
Hello Micharius
Like Migros, our competitor has different types of chicken schnitzel on sale. Here we differentiate between organic, Swiss poultry and imported chicken schnitzel. Which label and which quality did you compare?
The perception of qualities or sensations such as tough or tender depends on several components. The breed of the chicken plays a role here. The chosen breed is also dependent on the fattening period of a chicken - a longer fattening period can have an influence on the tenderness of chicken meat. Feeding can also generate possible variations in quality. Another possible component is the cooking preparation of meat and chicken.
The Optigal brand stands for Swiss poultry. Our customers who buy fresh poultry meat want chicken meat that is pure in taste and juicy. Swiss origin, animal welfare and transparent traceability back to the farm are important customer requirements that we communicate via the brand and packaging.
