greenMe — Cibo umido per gatti: confezioni ridotte e prezzi più alti (16 Feb 2022; 60 Millions de Consommateurs reader reports) greenme.it

Source fetched 2026-11-02.

A reader told 60 Millions de Consommateurs that the 12 x 100 g box of Felix Tendres Effilés en gelée (sold in Italy as Le Ghiottonerie) became 12 x 85 g with the same recipe, and the price went from €3.16 to €4.21 a kilo (+33%). greenMe says other brands made the same 100 g to 85 g switch.

Against official inflation: Eurostat HICP (FR) “products for pets and other household animals” changed +2.8% (12 months to Feb 2022). The size cut alone raises the price per gram by +17.6% 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

“…prodotto di Purina Felix Tendres in gelatina, in Italia conosciuto come Le Ghiottonerie: La scatola da 12 x 100 g costa in media 3,16 euro al kg, ci scrive. Con la nuova confezione e la stessa composizione, trovo le mie 12 bustine, ma pesano 85 grammi e costano 4,21 euro al kg, con un aumento del 33%. Un cambiamento che hanno confermato a noi di greenMe persone che si occupano quotidianamente di animali.”
