Overview
- Edeka confirms it has reduced order volumes and is temporarily delisting selected AB InBev products to increase leverage in negotiations.
- Reports differ on the scope, with the latest dpa-based coverage citing about ten affected brands after earlier claims of roughly 80 items.
- Brands reported as affected include Beck’s, Corona, Franziskaner, Löwenbräu, San Miguel, Spaten and Hasseröder.
- The grocer says existing stock will be sold, so customers should not expect empty shelves in the near term.
- AB InBev has declined to comment publicly, and both sides say talks are ongoing with the timing and breadth of any removals still uncertain.
