The climate scale is not product-category-specific, but rather is used for the entire range of Migros products. As beef is much more climate-intensive than a cucumber, it is assigned to the worst category. In the case of beef, the rearing and feeding of cattle are climate intensive, with transport only playing a minor role (except for if it has been transported by air). Although there are differences in the carbon footprints of meat from abroad and meat from Switzerland, both have carbon emissions of greater than 10 kg CO2eq/kg, which means that they are both awarded a single star.
