Source and evidence
Against official inflation: ONS CPI (UK) “food” changed +2.0% (12 months to Dec 2024, a broad match for this category). The size cut alone raises the price per gram by +25.0% 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
“…Ocean Spray’s cranberry sauces have shrunk the most. Both its smooth and whole cranberry sauces went from 250g to 200g, meaning you get 20% less in a jar this year.”
