UFC-Que Choisir pin this brand of pasta which has found an unethical scheme to sell its products more expensive!
A famous pasta brand attacked by UFC-Que Choisir! She would take advantage of a scheme to make consumers pay more. We will explain everything to you.
Is “fresh” pasta really so?
Brands always find tricks to make money off the backs of consumers. And while inflation is in full swing and the purchasing power of the French suffers, some have no qualms about deceiving buyers.
To do this, they do not hesitate to play on words. It’s the case from a famous brand of pasta! Until now, she managed to sell her products more expensive than the others.
But on May 12, the UFC-Que Choisir decided to file a complaint against this brand. Quite simply because these pastas do not deserve their price!
These are so-called “fresh” pasta from the Panzani brand, which are sold for 1.75 euros per 400g package. While dry pasta of the same brand is the same price. While they are packaged in 500g packets.
Why is this causing a problem? Well simply because the brand has found a way to sell less dry pasta at a higher price. Simply by highlighting the word “fresh”. In reality, if you read the package correctly, it says ” A dry dough as good as a fresh dough”.
UFC-Que Choisir considers that the Panzani brand misleads consumers. And influences them in their purchase by making them buy fresh pasta! Justice will then have to decide whether or not the brand has sought to make a profit by deceiving its customers.
UFC-Que Choisir files a complaint
UFC-Que Choisir therefore filed a complaint against Panzani for its supposedly “fresh” pasta. ” Panzani seeks to influence consumer behavior in order to make them buy dry pasta […] at a more expensive price » denounces the consumer association.
“The perception of the price by customers is blurred. So, per package [les pâtes] do not stand out from other products on the shelf. But reduced to 500g, their prices are actually higher » specifies the UFC-Que Choisir.
As a reminder, the Consumer Code reprimands “false or misleading indications or presentations bearing on the substantial qualities of the composition”. From now on, it is therefore up to the courts to decide.
For the time being, no Panzani official has spoken to respond to these accusations. As a reminder, the brand justifies its high prices by the freshness of its products. But just read the labels on packets to understand that this is not the case.
For pasta lovers, it is important to choose quality products. For example, homemade pasta is better than industrial pasta.
Besides, the texture of the pasta makes all the difference. Wheat or egg pasta has a rougher texture. This allows the sauces to cling well.
Also, know that there is more than 500 varieties of pasta in Italy! And each shape or variety pairs best with a particular dish or sauce. So, you have to choose your pasta according to the dish you want to prepare. For example, long, thick pastas go with strong flavored sauces. Thin pastas therefore go better with lighter sauces.
