Finding a lot of moldy "fresh" products on supermarket shelves was one of the big changes I experienced moving from UK to Switzerland. Food prices in Switzerland are generally 2x or 3x EU prices, but the most aggravating thing was that quality was lower than the UK (Coop/Migros vs Waitrose/Sainsburys).
- birdstheword5 3y agoI haven't noticed that myself but it's been 5 years since I've been there (Zürich) - how recently did you move there and which canton are you in? I do agree that most UK shops (Waitrose/ Sainsbury's like you mention) are really good compared with most stuff in Switzerland
