Britain’s supermarkets have been accused of “profiteering” at the expense of their suppliers by imposing inflated charges for product recalls and other faults, including for barcode labels on cases of product that don’t comply with their system specifications.
Supermarkets appear to be treating their suppliers a little better over the past year, according to a survey conducted by the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) Christine Tacon.
All 10 major food retailers have now backed the second annual groceries suppliers’ survey launched by Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) Christine Tacon last month, according to a GCA spokeswoman.
The biggest short-term priority for the new Groceries Supply Code of Practice adjudicator is preventing needless breaches to the code by ensuring people understand the law.
