Friday is coming up, which means a storm is coming. This is when we’d tell you to grab your favourite storm chip but you picking will be slim!
A pricing dispute between Loblaws and Frito-Lay Canada has resulted in a chip shortage.
This is the Porter’s Lake Superstore
Sure, there’s chips but you may notice there’s no Lays, Sunchips, Smartfood, Cheetos, Doritos, basically all the most delicious ones
What the point of living without smartfood popcorn 🙁
Frito-Lay, a brand owned by giant PepsiCo Canada, stopped selling to Loblaws after the retailer refused requests by Frito-Lay to increase their prices. Food manufacturers, when selling products to grocers, suggest retail prices. With low profit margins, labour shortages, packaging issues and supply-chain woes, inflation has been violently disruptive to manufacturers.

Frito-Lay products are made in Canada, using potatoes grown by Canadian farmers. Frito-Lay Canada is withholding product shipments to all stores owned by Loblaw Companies Ltd. due to “a dispute over price hikes” that experts are calling “an extreme example of how inflation is impacting the food industry.”
