Carrefour puts ‘shrinkflation’ price warnings on food to shame brands
French supermarket chain labels products that have shrunk in size but cost more before contract talks with suppliers

I'd love to see this naming and shaming becoming a standard. I want to know if the product I'm buying has changed and while I try to do this myself, it can be tricky to keep track of all the products I buy and it's not like I'm scanning the exact weight every time and memorizing it, just that it's generally the same weight. These scumbag companies are always trying to sneak by all these changes over time, it's great to finally get a spotlight shining on it. If some sort of legislation can be made to force companies to note changes in products made in the last 6 months on the label, that would be great.
I want to know if the product I’m buying has changed and while
Makes me think of a local git diff since your last purchase(s). See at a glance if it has changed, and what has changed.
Exactly my thought for a long time. A law which mandates companies to...I don't know...put on a label, occupying at least 1/3 of the whole packaging with giant red/white font to say at least for 3-6 months: "The net weight/contenct was reduced by 15%."
A simple QR code should do the trick. People can even make apps for tracking the changes.
maybe even a barcode, some sort of universal product code that apps could read easily
"What do you mean I should put the same barcode on these 2 clearly diffrent 1.25 litter coke bottle that we stopped selling a year ago and the new 1.15 litter bottle?
That's absurd!
Also, fuck you."
