"Carrefour Drops PepsiCo Brands Including Lay's and Doritos Amid Pricing Dispute"

Carrefour, a major European supermarket chain, has announced it will stop selling Pepsi products in France, Spain, Italy, and Belgium due to what it calls "unacceptable price increases." This decision impacts items like Pepsi soda, Doritos, and Quaker cereals. The move reflects broader concerns over rising food prices, with French food prices having increased by 7.1% in December year-on-year. PepsiCo has cited rising costs for its price increases and has engaged in "shrinkflation," reducing product sizes without equivalent price reductions. Carrefour has been vocal in opposing such practices. While negotiations continue, Pepsi products currently in stock will remain available for sale.

"Carrefour and Leclerc Boycott PepsiCo Products Amid Price Surge"

French supermarket chain Carrefour has ceased selling PepsiCo products, including Pepsi, Lay's, Quaker cereals, and Lipton teas, due to what it calls "unacceptable price increases." The decision follows a period of negotiations and is part of a broader strategy by Carrefour to pressure major consumer goods companies to reduce prices, despite these companies facing increased costs for energy, commodities, and labor. Carrefour's CEO has criticized these companies for not cooperating to lower prices, even as global food commodity prices have dropped. The dispute reflects ongoing tensions between retailers and suppliers, with Carrefour also focusing on expanding its private-label products to offer more affordable options to consumers.
