Food Map

Sustainability is a relevant topic today for METRO and its customers. One of the most important things is the properly dealing with food products through, for example, buying seasonal and regional goods instead of buying the products that have been delivered from far away. This is why we created a monthly Food Map for nine METRO Countries. Just scroll right and see which products are in season in your country now.
