Against official inflation: Eurostat HICP (FR) “processed food excluding alcohol and tobacco” changed +12.1% (12 months to Sep 2023, a broad match for this category). The size cut alone raises the price per gram by +6.2% 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

“…Soit une hausse au kilo de plus de 32%. Les petites tortillas triangles Doritos ont elles aussi flambé. La marque n'a ôté que 10 grammes sur ses paquets de 170 grammes mais elle a augmenté ses prix de 26 centimes, soit une hausse au kilo de près de 19%. Les groupes américains ne sont pas les seuls à être adeptes de cette méthode.”
