Overview

• This season’s Quality Street tub drops from 600g to 550g, cutting the typical count from roughly 63 chocolates to about 57.
• Morrisons’ promotion offering two tubs for £9 ends today, with the chain advertising savings versus the usual £7 per tub.
• Tesco lists the new 550g tubs at about 19 servings versus 21 previously, and is offering a Quality Street tin for £5.95 with a Clubcard.
• Nestlé says formats, weights and recommended prices are reviewed each year based on costs and consumer preferences, with final shelf prices set by retailers.
• Retailer listings highlight recyclable paper wrappers and no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, as consumer advocates criticise the reduction as shrinkflation.
