Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Grocery giant Carrefour will stop selling Pepsi products in France, citing “unacceptable price increases”.<\/p>\n

The supermarket started putting up signs in stores on Thursday to inform customers of the decision, which will affect products such as Pepsi soda, Doritos and Quaker cereals.<\/p>\n

Pepsi said it would continue to try to negotiate in “good faith”.<\/p>\n

The spat comes as France continues to grapple with food prices that are rising uncomfortably quickly.<\/p>\n

The most recent report from the government statistics agency estimated that food prices rose 7.1% in December from a year earlier.<\/p>\n

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire last year pushed major food companies to bring down prices, threatening special taxes on “undue” profits.<\/p>\n

The government also moved up its deadline for price negotiations between food companies and supermarkets to this month in an effort to get a grip on the problem.<\/p>\n

Pepsi has raised prices in recent years, pointing to rising costs. In October it said it expected further hikes in 2024.<\/p>\n

The company has also been active in what critics describe as “shrinkflation” – reducing the size of packets for sale, but not dropping prices at the same rate.<\/p>\n

Carrefour, France’s second-largest grocer, has been one of the most prominent retailers to push back against the practice.<\/p>\n

In September, it posted French supermarket puts up ‘shrinkflation’ signs on certain products, including Lipton Ice Tea, which is a Pepsi brand.<\/p>\n

The new notes for Pepsi products, a picture of which the company shared on LinkedIn, say “we are no longer selling this brand due to unacceptable price increases”.<\/p>\n

Despite the price fight, French shoppers will still be able to buy Pepsi products that are currently on the shelves, the spokesperson told the news agency.<\/p>\n

Pepsi said it had been in discussion with Carrefour for many months.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to engage in good faith in order to try to ensure that our products are available,” it said.<\/p>\n

The public price dispute is unusual but not unprecedented.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Tesco faced off with Kraft Heinz over price rises for staples such as baked beans, ketchup and tomato soup.<\/p>\n

German grocers Edeka and Rewe also halted sales of certain products from the manufacturer Mars, citing price hikes.<\/p>\n

Edeka also reported a dispute with Pepsi last year, while a standoff between Milka chocolate-maker Mondelez and Belgian supermarket Colruyt led to a gap in supply last year.<\/p>\n
