French supermarket chain labels products that have shrunk in size but cost more before contract talks with suppliers
with the labels, which say: “This product has seen its volume or weight fall and the effective price from the supplier rise.”
Guigoz infant formula produced by Nestlé went from 900 grams to 830 grams, while Unilever’s Viennetta ice-cream cake shrank to 320 grams from 350 grams. The Carrefour chief executive, Alexandre Bompard, who also heads the retail industry lobby group FDC, has repeatedly said consumer goods companies are not cooperating in efforts to cut the price of thousands of staples despite a fall in the cost of raw materials.
Lindt’s “chocolat au lait extra fin” was one of three of the Swiss chocolatier’s products named by Carrefour in its shrinkflation list.
