France’s Carrefour puts up ‘shrinkflation’ warning signs

French supermarket Carrefour has put stickers on its shelves this week warning shoppers of “shrinkflation” – where packet contents are getting smaller while prices are not.

Lipton Ice Tea, Lindt chocolate and Viennetta ice cream are among the products being named and shamed.

Shoppers are being told if bottles are smaller or pack contents lighter.

Carrefour said it wanted to put pressure on the firms making the products to keep prices down.
