Growing number of Canadians believe big grocery chains are profiteering from food inflation, survey finds

A growing number of Canadians believe big grocery chains are profiteering from food inflation and unnecessarily pushing prices higher according to a new survey released Tuesday.

The survey, conducted by Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, found that 30 per cent of Canadians think grocery chain price gouging is the main reason food prices have been rising in Canada. In Ontario, 31.7 per cent of respondents believed grocery chain price gouging was the main cause of high grocery bills.
