Sausage and cold-cut prices in Switzerland: what do you pay per 100 grams?
A pair of Cervelat starts around CHF 0.76 per 100 g (M-Budget, 500 g at CHF 3.80, per migros.ch), the M-Classic version sits near CHF 0.85 per 100 g, and Coop Cervelas runs CHF 1.25 per 100 g (coop.ch). For cold cuts the chain matters less than the tier: own-brand, branded, IP-Suisse or Bio. Anyone who reads the price per 100 g instead of per pack saves the most.
As of June 2026. Sausages and cold cuts are one of the most confusing categories in Swiss retail, because pack sizes change constantly (often under 100 g) and the same Cervelat shows up in four quality tiers. This page sorts the prices by product and by tier (own-brand vs branded, conventional vs IP-Suisse vs Bio) and shows why the price per 100 g is the only fair way to compare. It deliberately covers only processed, cured and sliced products; fresh meat is handled in our general meat guide, which you reach via the price comparison hub.
What does a Cervelat cost at Migros, Coop, Aldi and Lidl?
The Cervelat is the Swiss national sausage, and this is where the spread is widest. At Migros the M-Budget Cervelas is CHF 3.80 for 500 g, about CHF 0.76 per 100 g, while the M-Classic Cervelas at CHF 1.70 for 200 g works out to roughly CHF 0.85 per 100 g (source: migros.ch / Migipedia). At Coop the Coop Cervelas in a 2x100 g pair costs CHF 2.50, so CHF 1.25 per 100 g, the Naturafarm Cervelas (Swiss animal-welfare label) is CHF 2.80 (CHF 1.40 per 100 g) and the reduced-fat version is CHF 3.55 (source: coop.ch). Aldi Suisse and Lidl Switzerland carry their own Cervelat lines, which the K-Tipp meat-price survey repeatedly places among the cheapest; the exact daily prices change every week.
| Product (Cervelat) | Pack | Price | Price per 100 g | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Migros M-Budget Cervelas | 500 g | CHF 3.80 | approx. CHF 0.76 | migros.ch |
| Migros M-Classic Cervelas | 200 g | CHF 1.70 | approx. CHF 0.85 | migros.ch |
| Coop Cervelas (2x100 g) | 200 g | CHF 2.50 | CHF 1.25 | coop.ch |
| Coop Naturafarm Cervelas | 200 g | CHF 2.80 | CHF 1.40 | coop.ch |
| Coop Cervelas 75% less fat | 200 g | CHF 3.55 | approx. CHF 1.78 | coop.ch |
One point for a neutral reading: no chain is the cheapest across every tier. The cheapest budget line almost always wins on price per 100 g, but on branded items Aldi, Coop, Lidl and Migros sit often only one rappen apart, according to the bonus.ch 2025 survey (cut-off 12 August 2025, 20 branded products). That survey deliberately left cold cuts out, because the packs sit under 100 g and are hard to compare, which is exactly the point where you should be reading the per-100 g price.
Wienerli, salami and cold cuts: price per 100 g, not per pack
For Wienerli, ham and salami the trap is the small pack. A 90 g tray of cold cuts looks cheap but is often dearer per 100 g than the large family pack. Salami and air-dried meat sit clearly above boiled and cooked sausage per 100 g, because they lose water during curing. Poultry Cervelat or poultry cold cuts are usually pricier than the pork equivalent: the Naturafarm poultry Cervelas costs CHF 3.70 for 200 g at Coop (coop.ch). On quality we point to independent bodies: the K-Tipp Wienerli test rated Coop best, and the K-Tipp Cervelat test noted that grilled Cervelats are a safer hygiene bet than raw in a sausage salad. The exact CHF prices per 100 g for salami and ham cold cuts shift every week by chain, brand and pack size, so the best move is to compare them live in Rappn.
At the IP-Suisse, Naturafarm or Bio tier you pay a premium for animal welfare and origin. According to saldo.ch the Bio premium on sausage products is shrinking, but it is still noticeable on some items. If Swiss origin and animal welfare matter to you, compare the IP-Suisse and Naturafarm lines directly against the matching budget line, and the true extra cost per 100 g becomes visible.
A practical saving tip: sausages and cold cuts are classic promotion items. Cervelat multipacks before a grilling weekend, cold cuts near their sell-by date in the evening, and multibuy deals (for example 3 for 2) cut the price per 100 g sharply. Tracking those rotating deals across all seven chains by hand is close to impossible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Cervelat cost in Switzerland?
It varies a lot by tier: the cheapest budget line starts around CHF 0.76 per 100 g (Migros M-Budget, 500 g at CHF 3.80, per migros.ch), M-Classic sits near CHF 0.85 per 100 g, and the Coop Cervelas pair costs CHF 2.50 for 200 g, so CHF 1.25 per 100 g (coop.ch). Aldi and Lidl carry their own, often cheap lines. Check the daily price in Rappn.
Which chain is cheapest for sausages and cold cuts?
There is no blanket winner. K-Tipp finds Lidl and Aldi are often cheapest on fresh meat, while on branded sausage the four big chains often sit only one rappen apart according to bonus.ch (2025). The cheapest price depends on product, tier and which week the promotion runs.
Why should I compare sausages per 100 g?
Because cold-cut and sausage packs constantly change size, often under 100 g. A small pack looks cheap but is often dearer per 100 g than the big family pack. The price per 100 g is the only fair way to compare, and Rappn calculates it for you.
Is Bio or IP-Suisse sausage worth it?
Bio and IP-Suisse cost more for animal welfare and Swiss origin. According to saldo.ch the Bio premium on sausage products is shrinking, but it is still noticeable on some items. Compare the Naturafarm or IP-Suisse line directly with the budget line to see the true extra cost per 100 g.
Are poultry Cervelats cheaper than regular ones?
Usually not. The Naturafarm poultry Cervelas costs CHF 3.70 for 200 g at Coop, more than the classic Coop Cervelas at CHF 2.50 (coop.ch). Poultry cold cuts are usually a question of taste and diet, not price.
When are sausages and cold cuts cheapest?
Sausage is a classic promotion item. Cervelat multipacks before grilling weekends, cold cuts near their sell-by date in the evening, and multibuy deals cut the price per 100 g sharply. In Rappn you see the live promotions of all seven chains at a glance.
