Is shrinkflation still happening in Italy? Yes. We have 20 documented cases of Italian products that got smaller (2022–2026), 2 dated 2026. The latest: Coppa del Nonno coffee ice cream cup (Italy), 70 g → 65 g (2021–2026). The median pack lost 7.3%, a 7.8% hidden price rise per unit at the same price; the biggest cut was Neutro Roberts moisturising liquid soap with glycerine (Italy) (−33.3%). By source: 18 cases from Altroconsumo (its own site or a report naming it), 2 from Open. Most cases: soap, shampoo & body wash (4), baking & spreads (3), dairy (3). None of the sources recorded both shelf prices, so the per-unit figures assume the price stayed the same. Italian sources use the English word too: shrinkflation.
