The Government does not have a role in setting retail food prices.

The Grocery Goods Undertakings Regulations, 2016, introduced by my colleague the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, set down national requirements with regard to unfair trading practices. These regulations apply to food retailers or wholesalers with a worldwide turnover of over €50 million.

Any complaints regarding possible breaches of these Regulations should be referred to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.
