Cheapflation: the answer from Maille (Unilever)n 08/02/2024

  • The phenomenon of Cheapflation, i.e. the replacement of certain products or foods by cheaper substitutes, in order to maintain margins or a consumer selling price.
  • One example is ice cream, which is no longer called "ice cream" but "frozen dessert", due to the replacement of dairy products with fillers.
  • Six brands accused of abusing the Cheapflation phenomenon by Foodwatch: After Eight, Milka, Fleury Michon, Maille, Bordeau Chesnel and Findus (out of more than 20,000 references in hypermarkets).
  • Maille's "fins gourmets" mayonnaise is specifically implicated, having seen the proportion of egg yolk present in the sauce reduced by 24.7% between November 2023 and January 2024.
  • Unilever has had to adjust the composition of its products in order to continue producing certain recipes that consumers love, at their factory near Dijon.
