But in fact, secretly reducing the quantity of goods but the price has always remained the same, this is a kind of "disguised price increase", and it is tantamount to indirect inflation.
The Italian Non-Profit Consumerism Association (Consumerismo No profit) immediately reported this situation to the antitrust agency.

Subsequently, Federico Polidoro, the representative of the Italian National Bureau of Statistics (Istat), confirmed the existence of this phenomenon in the TV show "Mi Manda RaiTre" on April 8, and called it the "shrinkage phenomenon", which is what we usually call it.
"Decrease but not price.
" Polidoro also pointed out that these behaviors of businesses will directly affect the economic situation of ordinary citizens' families.

At the same time, it is not only food businesses that "reduced quantity but not price".
According to reports, even household goods businesses such as toiletries, detergents, household cleaners, toilet paper, shower gels, and shampoos have generally adopted this approach.

Luigi Gabriele, chairman of the Non-Profit Consumerism Association, called this phenomenon the "empty shopping cart" phenomenon, and asked the prosecutor to confirm in the complaint file submitted to the Anti-Monopoly Bureau whether such practices by merchants violated the "Consumer Law, and whether it should be regarded as an unfair business practice.
Next, a funny scene happened!

Yes, you read that right, the disguised price increase behavior of "reducing the quantity without reducing the price" turned out to be a charitable act to help consumers "reduce the obesity rate"! I have to say, talent!
Of course, the "Chairman of the Food Association" is obviously not obliged to "shake the pot" for other commodities, so the Chairman of Vacondio also said: ordinary daily chemicals, such as toilet paper, shampoo and other commodities, will definitely not affect the obesity rate.
Have an impact.
(Speaking of bacteria here, I can't help but want to see if the chairman of the Daily Chemical Industry Association has any "wonderful ideas"!)

In fact, this kind of "shrinkage" is not the first time.
Between 2012 and 2017, Italy’s major markets, resellers, supermarkets, etc.
have recorded 7,306 such cases, and the Italian National Consumers Association (UNC) has also proposed that the prices and prices of commodities on the market should be checked regularly.

But so far, this proposal is still a dead letter.
