“We’ve seen steady growth in our foodservice business year after year,” says Chief Executive Officer Steve Kass “Tofutti has tremendous name recognition When a new vegan restaurant opens, they already know that they can trust us to deliver a reliable, functional product ” Kass, who has been with the company since 1986, remembers a time when bulk sizes of vegan cheese were unheard of “Never in a million years would I have thought that someone would need a 30pound block of dairy-free cream cheese, but now we have customers who order pallets of it at a time.”

FTC: Consumers Still Paying for Pandemic Grocery Pricing

A Federal Trade Commission report revealed that large market participants accelerated and distorted the negative effects associated with supply chain disruptions.

The FTC’s report examined how supply chain disruptions affected competition among retailers, wholesalers and producers, as well as the impacts on consumers and businesses. Consumers felt the negative effects of supply chain disruptions in the form of skyrocketing prices for groceries and product shortages for essentials, such as toilet paper

Notably, consumers are still facing the negative impact of the pandemic’s price hikes, as the report finds that some in the grocery retail industry seem to have used rising costs as an opportunity to further raise prices to increase their profits, which remain elevated today

“Since the study found that some aspects of the supply chain disruptions we faced during the pandemic may have been harmful to competition, the indications that profits may have increased during the same time and remain high may be further indication that consumers are not benefiting from competitive markets in the ways they should when they do their grocery shopping.”

The report recommended further research on continued high pricing

Experience the Taste of Innovation at Marwan’s Kitchen

“As the pandemic illustrated, a major shock to the supply chain can have cascading effects on consumers, including the prices they pay for groceries,” said FTC Chair Lina M Khan “The FTC’s report examining U S grocery supply chains finds that dominant firms used this moment to come out ahead at the expense of their competitors and the communities they serve ”

“The study found some indications that higher prices at the grocery store, which continued after the worst of the pandemic supply chain disruptions were resolved, were not simply mirroring the higher costs retailers faced, but actually may be reflective of higher profits for those retailers,” Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter said in a statement

As the report explains, supply chain disruptions did not equally impact every retailer, wholesaler or producer Instead, smaller firms – especially smaller grocery retailers – disproportionately faced difficulties obtaining products compared to larger firms Some larger firms were better able to protect their product supply compared to smaller competitors

The pandemic also prompted some larger firms to consider buying manufacturing suppliers, which potentially threatens to make certain supply chains even more concentrated in the future Taken together, the report’s findings reveal how supply chain bottlenecks can leave markets exposed to major supply chain shocks and that those shocks, in turn, can allow major firms to entrench their dominance

The report’s findings stem from orders the FTC issued in 2021 under Section 6(b) of the FTC Act to Walmart Inc , Amazon com, Inc , Kroger Co , C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc , Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc , McLane Co, Inc Procter & Gamble Co , Tyson Foods, Inc and Kraft Heinz Co The findings also draw from publicly available data on industry costs and revenues

“This study shows many of the severe impacts that supply shocks had on this brittle, ‘efficient’ system Widespread, substantial, sustained shortages, sometimes of critical goods that American families relied upon

“Fortunately, the study also found that companies throughout the supply chain quickly realized the value of resilience, and are now considering ways to update the brittle sourcing system They are now prioritizing resilience, not just short-term savings Where they discovered they were relying on just one or two suppliers, they are now seeking out additional suppliers ”
