Standardise grocery package sizes and weights to counter ‘shrinkflation’.
Standardise grocery items’ sizes, weights and volumes to allow easier price comparisons and reduce manufacturers ability to use the deceptive practice of making small reductions in package sizes without reducing the cost or advertising the reduction, commonly referred to as shrinkflation.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about the size of grocery packages are a matter for individual businesses, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition asking the Government to require businesses to clearly label products that have changed in size, if that is what you would like to happen.
