I think the main difference between Marigold and 'regular' stock powder/cubes you get in Coop or Migros is that there is no MSG, artificial colourings and preservatives in the former.

What I found in Switzerland is this (see bottom of the page): http://www.bliibgsund-versand.ch/cgi.../ch/index.html It is organic, MSG_free and surprisingly tasty.
