Seeking feedback on an exposure draft of the Consumer Information Standards (Unit Pricing for Grocery Products) Regulations 2023

In November 2022, Cabinet agreed:

• to apply mandatory unit pricing to online grocery stores, physical stores with a floorspace above 1,000 square metres, and physical stores with a floorspace less than 1000 sqm where unit pricing is displayed voluntarily
• some products would be exempt from the mandatory unit pricing rules where it’s impractical or the benefits are limited
• that unit pricing would be displayed in physical stores and online print advertising
• consistent units of measurement would be used according to a mix of standard and non-standard units of measurement
• to a combination of prescriptive and general requirements for the display of unit pricing, including unit prices to be clear and legible, and at least 25% of the size of the purchase price

We’d like to get your feedback on whether the draft regulations are workable in practice and will give effect to the policy intent. We will use your feedback to improve the draft regulations and help ensure they work in practice.
