Australian Consumer Products Update

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 14 minutes ago

Grocery Costs: Coles’ sales growth has slowed as shoppers seek cheaper deals, while rival Woolworths gains ground. With inflation at 4.3%, the ABS will reweight its consumer price basket in January to better reflect spending. Product Safety: Six Maria’s Pasta products have been recalled over metal contamination. Australia is also preparing tighter sunscreen testing and rules after concerns about SPF claims. Retail Watch: Bunnings removed a straitjacket Halloween costume from its online marketplace after mental health advocates said it reinforced stigma. Solar Choices: Western Australia plans to make plug-in solar legal, potentially giving households another way to manage power bills.
