Shrinkflation affecting dozens of products on Dutch supermarket shelves: Consumer group
On 2026-08-25, the Consumers’ Association reported that manufacturers in the Netherlands are increasingly reducing the quantity of product in their packaging without lowering prices, a practice known as shrinkflation. The group noted that dozens of products on Dutch supermarket shelves have been affected. The Association criticized this trend, stating it misleads consumers who pay the same amount for less. No specific brands or products were named, but the Association urged manufacturers to be more transparent about changes in packaging and pricing.
