9.4% Promo Spike in the UK, Red Bull's Antitrust Probe; The Italian Pasta War

Season 1 Episode 38 Published 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

This week, UK grocery promotions surged 9.4% , a desperate move in a market where 94% of promos fail to add category value. This masks a "hidden cost" , as retailers like Asda see sales collapse 3.9% while shoppers flock to premium own-label. We also cover the EU antitrust probe into Red Bull, alleging it "misused its role as a category manager" to block rivals. Finally, we analyse the 107% "trade-killing" tariff on Italian pasta , and the explosive allegation that a competitor with Italian ties orchestrated the move.
