Source and evidence
Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “nonprescription drugs” changed +6.2% (12 months to May 2023, a broad match for this category). The size cut alone raises the price per unit by +11.1% if the shelf price stayed the same (the source recorded no prices). Every case is compared the same way in the ShrinkRadar Index.
What the source says
“…In particular, BD brand syringes used for injecting insulin have gone from 100 in a box down 10-percent to just 90. Yet, the package erroneously still says there are 10 multi-packs inside when there are really only nine.”
More from the US: the US Shrinkflation Tracker has all 296 documented cases, sortable and filterable.
