For its part, Danone claims to be in “a constructive dialogue“and work”working closely with Delhaize to resume deliveries as soon as possible“. The company recalls that it is facing unprecedented market conditions and says it is working intensely to “optimize costs and minimize the impact on consumer prices“. “However, it is the retailers who determine the final price for the consumer.“, she concludes.
About fifty Danone products are missing from Delhaize shelves, a manageable situation for the brand given the number of suppliers offering similar products.
On the Lidl side, the blockage is identical, but the impact is less in the stalls because the brand only offers a limited number of products from the range.
