How ‘shrinkflation’ is impacting your cereal – and making you pay more for less
Food manufacturers, including Kellogg's, are engaging in 'shrinkflation' by reducing product sizes without lowering prices, complicating price comparisons during a cost-of-living crisis. Deakin University research found that seven Kellogg's cereal boxes in Australia had decreased in size since 2019. Kellogg's, now Kellanova, cited high production costs and inflationary pressures for the changes. Supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths are working to keep prices affordable amidst rising costs. Carrefour has taken measures to inform customers about shrinkflation, unlike Australian chains. A Senate inquiry and a competition regulator probe are examining grocery pricing amid public dissatisfaction with high prices and supermarket profits.

Allergy-friendly spread business Buddee lands $1 million deals with Coles and Woolworths
Buddee, an allergy-friendly spread created by Seong-Lee Ang and Rodney Chieng, has secured $1 million deals with Australian supermarkets Coles and Woolworths before selling a single jar.

It aims to be tasty, allergy-friendly, and healthier than existing options. Buddee has received high health star ratings and has found a customer base among both children and adults. The co-founders plan to expand the Buddee brand into a broader range of products.
