Aldi Organic Switzerland 2026: "retour aux sources", Standard and Prices
Aldi's Swiss organic own-brand is called "retour aux sources" and has been on the shelves since spring 2022. It is built on the Bio Suisse guidelines (Knospe farms) and partly goes further with the independent "Prüf Nach!" standard, so it is not merely EU-organic. On price, discounter organic is clearly cheaper: Beobachter measured an organic markup of about 60% at Aldi against about 88% at Coop in 2024. Updated: September 2026.

For a long time discounters were seen as organic-poor. That has changed: Aldi Switzerland has carried the organic own-brand "retour aux sources" since spring 2022 and has expanded the range since, from around two dozen items at launch to 63 organic products (per the aldi-suisse.ch press release, as of 2024), and the line keeps growing.

How "organic" is "retour aux sources" really?
This is the most common question, and the answer surprises many: "retour aux sources" is not the cheap EU-organic minimum. The line builds on the Bio Suisse guidelines (the products come from Knospe farms) and is partly checked more strictly by the independent "Prüf Nach!" standard, for example on farm biodiversity areas. Many products also offer QR-code traceability back to the farm.
Animal welfare and quality
On animal welfare Aldi does well: in the "food with heart" rating of Swiss Animal Protection (STS), Aldi milk, eggs and meat land in the top category. For a discounter that is remarkable and shows that cheap and animal-friendly need not be mutually exclusive.
How big is the Aldi organic range really?
To evaluate the range breadth, as of July 2026: «retour aux sources» launched in spring 2022 with around two dozen items and already counted over 60 products by 2024, the line keeps growing, and Aldi does not publish a fixed current count. Documented coverage includes the staple categories milk, eggs and meat (all three rated in the STS «Essen mit Herz» animal-welfare rating), with QR farm-traceability on many products. The honest read: for the organic staple shop the range is sufficient and costs less (a clearly lower organic markup than Coop and Migros, Beobachter 2024), if you want organicspecialities or full choice, Coop Naturaplan and Migros Bio carry the wider shelf. Buy breadth at the full-range retailers, price at the discounter. Rappn shows which of your organic products are on promotion this week, and at which chain.
What does Aldi organic cost?
This is its biggest strength: discounter organic is clearly cheaper than the organic at Coop and Migros. Beobachter measured an organic markup of about 60% at Aldi against about 88% at Coop in 2024: a clear gap to the big retailers. The catch is choice: the range is narrower than at Coop Naturaplan or Migros Bio, for a specific organic speciality you are more likely to find it at the big retailers, but for a basic organic shop Aldi is strong on price.
Discounter organic can save a lot, provided the chain stocks what you need. Rappn shows the organic promotions of Aldi, Lidl, Coop, Migros and the other three chains side by side, neutrally and updated daily, so you can see which chains have your organic products on promotion this week.
