French Supermarket Chain Uses 'Shrinkflation' Labels to Shame Price-Gouging Brands

French grocery chain Carrefour has placed "shrinkflation" warning labels on products that have recently decreased in size but increased in price, in an effort to pressure suppliers to reconsider their pricing policies. The labels were added to items such as Lipton Iced Tea, Pepsi, Lindt chocolates, and baby milk powder. Carrefour marked 26 products with labels stating that the volume or weight had decreased while the supplier's price had risen. The move comes as brands prepare to negotiate their position with retailers. Shrinkflation, the practice of reducing product size without reducing the price, tends to occur in high inflation environments and is often unnoticed by consumers.
