Leanne Young: Registered dietitian and nutrition researcher concerned at length of time it may take for supermarket industry to lower prices

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

Concerns at the length of time it may take for changes to the supermarket industry to bring prices down. The Commerce Commission's final report recommends Woolworths and Foodstuffs offer wholesale supply to other grocery retailers on a voluntary basis. It also recommends helping consumers make more informed purchasing decisions and enhance competition at the retail level, by introducing mandatory unit pricing. Registered dietitian and nutrition researcher Leanne Young told Kate Hawkesby what's recommended is a relatively slow way of driving down prices. “We would like to have seen something more structural that would give consumers confidence that prices would go down.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
