Improving price transparency in the supermarkets industry

CHOICE has made a submission to the Treasury’s consultation on improving price transparency in the supermarkets industry.

CHOICE supports the Federal Government’s proposals to improve and require price displays in-store and online, ensure data can be scraped by third parties, and to set new minimum information requirements. The Federal Government should give further consideration to capturing more supermarkets in the Grocery Unit Pricing Code, regulating fruit and vegetable pricing in-store and online, developing a supermarket pricing API, conducting further research on best-practice for consumer-friendly price displays and investigating the impact of loyalty programs on competition, privacy and consumer concerns.
