Source and evidence
Against official inflation: Eurostat HICP (AT) “products for pets and other household animals” changed +2.4% (12 months to Oct 2024). 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.
