French grocery chain Carrefour is adding labels to products that have recently shrunk in size but increased in price, in a bid to pressure suppliers to rethink their pricing policies. The "shrinkflation" warning stickers have been placed on products such as Lipton Iced Tea, Pepsi, Lindt chocolates, and baby milk powder. Carrefour marked 26 products with labels stating that the volume or weight has fallen while the price by the supplier has risen. Shrinkflation tends to occur in high inflation environments, and manufacturers often do not announce these changes, making it difficult for consumers to notice.
