Against official inflation: Eurostat HICP (AT) “milk, other dairy products and eggs” changed −2.6% (12 months to Sep 2026). The size cut alone raises the price per gram by +12.5% 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

“…Damals schrumpfte die Füllmenge von 500 auf 450 Gramm. Seit dem Frühjahr 2026 sind es sogar nur noch 400 Gramm, bei einem deutlich höheren Preis. Die Verpackungsgröße hat sich hingegen nicht verändert.”
