An urgent warning has been issued to shoppers who could be left losing money at the till when shopping on everyday items.
Trading standards have stated that they fear customers may be paying too much for their food shop, as products could be getting mislabelled before they hit shelves, reports The Sun. Shoppers could be overpaying for something as small as a product being labelled as having the wrong weight.
Trading Standards Scotland have now put out a call to retailers and packers to ensure customers are getting exactly what they pay for. This news comes as the cost of everyday food items increases sharply as the inflation rate soars.
