Mindful eating

All you need for a balanced diet

Our product range provides all you need for a varied and balanced diet. We are committed to making our customers’ choices easier by providing transparent information and work continuously to optimise the composition of our products.

Our nutrition targets

Formula specifications for our food

We want to offer our customers food that tastes delicious, contains the simplest of ingredients and has a good nutritional profile. To do this, we regularly put our recipes to the test and improve them as and when necessary. By way of example, we will reduce the additives and flavourings used in at least 300 products by the end of 2025.

Expansion of our product range

Whether vegan or vegetarian, lactose-free or gluten-free – not everyone can or wants to eat everything on their plate without thinking twice. That’s why we have expanded our range of foods for special dietary requirements. As an example, our product range now includes over 1,000 labelled vegetarian and vegan products, while the number of products suitable for people with allergies is growing all the time. Alongside around 300 products with the aha! seal of quality, we also stock many other lactose- and gluten-free products from other brands.

More transparency when shopping

How do I find the best nutritional value? Our customers want clear and understandable information about the nutritional value of our foods. We want that, too! That’s why we provide the easy-to-understand Nutri-Score for many products.

Our sustainability strategy illustrates all the goals that we have set ourselves to promote healthy nutrition.

Actions not words

We reach millions of customers with our products every day and are implementing a raft of measures aimed at offering them a varied range of foods for a balanced diet – from product optimisation and various food partnerships to nutrition-based projects and helpful information.

Formula specifications and optimisations
Our Migros formula specifications are used to optimise products in the own-brand range. We continually check, optimise and improve our recipes, by reducing sugar, salt, flavourings and additives, for instance. When developing new products, we take the formula specifications into account right from the start.
Milan Declaration
The Milan Declaration is a government project for reducing sugar in various product categories: yoghurt, quark, milk-based drinks, breakfast cereals and sweetened beverages. Migros has been on board from the start, having signed the declaration back in 2015.

14.4% less added sugar in yoghurt and 24% less added sugar in breakfast cereals – that is the impressive interim result we achieved across our national own-brand product range in 2021. But we want to go further still and are aiming to achieve the following targets by the end of 2024:
- 10% less added sugar in yoghurt
- 10% less added sugar in quark
- 10% less added sugar in milk-based drinks
- 15% less added sugar in breakfast cereals
- 10% less total sugar in sweetened beverages
These and other sugar-reduction measures that have already been implemented enable us to reduce total sugar consumption by hundreds of tonnes per year without compromising on the flavour of our products.

Additive reduction
The industrial nature of food production coupled with quality, safety and shelf-life requirements often demand the use of additives. We advocate restraint when it comes to using additives, fully in keeping with the motto “as little as possible and as much as necessary”. We are also constantly striving to make our recipes more natural and, wherever possible, reduce or even totally eliminate additives and flavourings.
Nutri-Score
With the Nutri-Score, we have introduced an internationally recognised evaluation system that was developed by independent scientists. The Nutri-Score appears on the front of packaging and evaluates the nutritional values of products using a colour-coded scale ranging from A to E. This makes it possible to see at a glance which product in a range of comparable products has the better nutritional values.

The Nutri-Score can currently be found on over 2,000 articles from a wide variety of product ranges (e.g. breads, dairy products, convenience products such as ready meals, meat alternatives, frozen products, sweet products such as ice cream, biscuits, baking mixes, etc.).
