The French supermarket chain Carrefour says it will no longer carry goods by the brand PepsiCo because the company has increased its prices too much. The move comes as France seeks EU approval forcing retailers to better flag "shrinkflation" – when companies reduce the size of product while continuing to maintain its price.

From Thursday Carrefour stores in France have notes on their shelves notifying customers that PepsiCo products – including Pepsi and 7Up sodas, Lay’s and Doritos crisps, and Quaker oats – will no longer be sold due to "unacceptable price increases”.
