Posted on November 5, 2019November 14, 2019

When it comes to shopping from supermarkets, we all have experienced a barrage of information about the prices and descriptions of the food items we buy. Beyond the shadow of doubt, we all want to spend money on products that are healthy, organic, in short, all those items that are worth spending. One can know about the customer trends, from the food items that are commonly sold in supermarkets. But amid this rush of information, are we told about where does this food in the market comes from in the supermarkets? Obviously, there are people who actually are desperate to know about this anonymity.

In case you are the one who likes the idea of getting to know about where does our food come from? This article can be of help in tracing those places. Interestingly, once you know about the food producers, your ability to buy will be greatly influenced. The provenance of food, specifically, fresh produce means a lot for health-conscious consumers. In case, you have lately purchased the foods from any of the supermarkets of Switzerland, you probably have seen the labels that are usually adhered to the produce. These labels indicate food safety as well as origin of the produce. Through these labels, you can ensure that your money is spent on the proper food item. To help you with this query, you should know about the supermarkets in Switzerland. The big names are Aldi/Lidl, Migros, Denner, Coop, Volg/Spar, Globus, Manor Food, and a lot more. If you happened to check out Globus, you will find all the food specialties of the world. This supermarket will surely amaze you with its endless product varieties.

For your information, all the assortments of food products clearly list the origination region or country. Also, the imported food in these supermarkets is certified by credited inspection bodies like Bio.inspecta, Institut für Marktökologie (IMO) and others. These bodies ensure that producers, importers, and processors conform to ISO-65 or EN-45011 standards. It is also satisfying for you to know those food items containing the label of ‘BIO SUISSE Bud’ show that products are organic and the raw materials (almost 90%) are coming from Switzerland’s’ farms. Under the launch of ‘Naturaplan’, Coop and Migros supermarkets are famous for selling vegetables and fruits that are grown organically by their own suppliers.

 Not only this, demand for ready-to-serve is rising among swiss people and to cater to this need, Supermarkets now have added up the organic products of Knopse quality with the label of ‘BIO SUISSE’s bud’. As you have been told earlier, food items with this label are safe to eat, you can rely on these products that are safe and healthy. Since the consumers increasingly demand organic products due to environmental awareness, welfare concerns for animals, food safety, it is essential for you to know where your food is coming from. So, next time you buy food from supermarkets, make sure you remember to notice the provenance of food.
