German discounter Aldi Süd plans to reduce bakery costs by changing how its outlets prepare baked goods. The retailer is seeking savings from its in-store baking operations as part of broader efforts to improve efficiency while maintaining its low-price positioning. The initiative will alter existing processes across its German network, where bakery products have become an important part of Aldi’s fresh-food offer and competitive strategy. (Lebensmittel Zeitung)
