What the source says

“두, 오비맥주의 카스 캔맥주(8캔 묶음), CJ제일제당의 숯불향 바베큐바, 풀무원의 올바른 핫도그 등 핫도그 4종의 용량이 1.3∼20.0% 줄었다. 소비자원은 다만 일부 제조사가 용량 변경은 인정하면서도 포장재나 레시피가 변경된 리뉴얼 상품이라고 주장해왔다고 설명했다. CJ제일제당은 백설 그릴 비엔나 소시지(2개 묶음)를 640ｇ에서 560ｇ으로 줄이면서 가격도 9천480원에서 8천890원으로 내렸다. 이에 따라 10ｇ당 가격은 약 8% 인상됐다. 이 회사 관계자는 연합뉴스에 "원재료인 돼지고기 가격이 작년 대비 약 20% 올라 부득이하게 중량을 조정했으나 소비자 부담을 최소화하고자 가격도 인하했다"고 말했다.”
