Woolworths denies misleading shoppers.

Consumer watchdog zeroes in on Woolworths’ allegedly fake discounts as it meets supermarket giant in court
Vinegar, Tim Tams and baby rice are among the products to be scrutinised in the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s case
The ACCC alleges Coles and Woolworths broke Australian consumer law by offering “illusory” discounts on hundreds of everyday products through the misleading use of their respective “Down Down” and “Prices Dropped” promotion programs.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/apr/21/consumer-watchdog-accc-supermarket-woolworths-court-hearings-australia
Led by Robert Yezerski, SC, Woolworths’ legal team is expected to vigorously defend the allegations, with the supermarket saying it “fundamentally disagrees” with the ACCC’s claims and at no stage misled or deceived customers.

A farmer from New South Wales recently visited Japan and discovered that Australian #meat was being sold in Tokyo for less than it costs in major Australian supermarkets. Analysts argue that direct comparisons can be "misleading" without accounting for factors such as global import competition, differences in meat cuts, and exchange rate fluctuations. Although #Coles and #Woolworths have denied allegations of price gouging, the #ACCC is set to release an interim report on its inquiry into supermarkets by August.
