German discounter Aldi is facing shortages of Coca-Cola products in some outlets amid a pricing dispute with the US soft drinks manufacturer. Coca-Cola’s latest price increases have prompted disagreements with retailers, including order and delivery suspensions. Aldi Nord and Süd have meanwhile reduced prices on their River Cola private-label range, widening the price gap with Coca-Cola as German consumers remain price-conscious. (Lebensmittel Zeitung)
