Milch 1.5% - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Migros's lactose-reduced semi-skimmed milk records the maximum European Score of 100. Switzerland sits at the heart of the result: the company headquarters dimension takes the full 35 and manufacturing the full 35, reflecting a Swiss retailer producing the milk domestically. Distribution adds 15 and proximity 5, a combination that points to a short, largely national supply chain serving Swiss and neighbouring German shelves.

Ingredients earn the maximum 10, in keeping with a simple dairy product whose lactose has been reduced rather than supplemented with distant additives. Certifications stand at zero. The pack is rich in voluntary marks, including sustainable forestry labelling, an integrated-production scheme and the retailer's own animal-welfare and climate ratings, yet none of these qualify as certifications under the scoring model, so the dimension remains empty.

Among the lactose-reduced semi-skimmed milks, a focused category of 21 products, this milk sits in the 67th percentile and so outscores around two thirds of its peers. The relatively modest percentile against a perfect headline score suggests the niche is populated by other strongly European entries. Securing a recognised organic certification would be the clearest route to improving the relative position, since that is the only dimension still offering points.
