Ritter Sport sells new chocolate. The bars weigh 75 grams. They weighed 100 grams before. The price is still 2.29 Euro. This is often the same price.
The Verbraucher-Zentrale Hamburg criticizes the company. They call this Shrinkflation. Shrinkflation means: The product gets smaller. The price stays the same or it grows.
Ritter Sport says: This is a new product group. Customers want thin bars with much cocoa. A bar with 100 grams would be too expensive.
The weight stands clearly on the package. Other companies like Milka have similar problems. A court in Bremen checks a fight about Milka bars.
Chocolate is more expensive now. A reason is bad harvest in West-Africa. There were many plant diseases. The weather was bad.
