Food price #inflation is not due to commodity prices. Food manufacturers are hungry for #profits and increased #prices; profit-taking contributes to inflation and affects consumption as #consumers spend less on other things, which hurts economic recovery: https://www-allianz--trade-de.translate.goog/presse/pressemitteilungen/steigende-lebensmittelpreise-trotz-sinkender-inflation.html?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en

Chile has strict #nutrition labeling, with a black #label warning #consumers about high saturated #fat, salt or #sugar, and barring products from TV #advertising. As a consequence, over 20% of products have new formulas with less #salt or sugar: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-03-eu-food-nutrition.html #labeling

The future of communication lies in #AI. Proliferation of touch points, skills shortage, even #consumers defending themselves against #AI-supported communications overload by businesses. We had lots to discuss and Gabriele Horcher must have almost felt like on the hot seat.
A great #CRMKonvo that begs for continuation.

As #consumers we wield considerable power if we do it #collectively. DeSantis’ followers will jump ship in a heartbeat if his bullsh*t policies start hurting their pocketbook. Getting people to act together, however - that’s a tough one.

#Organic food is big business. Because the #label allows charging #consumers premium prices—and the fact that #organic food may be indistinguishable from conventionally raised versions of those same foods—#fraud in the sector isn't hard to find: https://reason.com/2023/02/04/the-usda-cant-stop-organic-food-fraud/ #labeling

16 followers · 136 posts · Server mastodon.worldWhether or not a mob boss was really involved in making expiration dates mandatory, at least in the US, one can’t deny that it has become common. These labels are an important factor in our purchase and #consumption of perishable goods. However, expiration dates and the many terms they come in don’t mean what most #consumers think they mean — and it’s worsening the #food waste problem.
How accurate are expiration dates really?
