MODERATORS
Also, in the EU price tags in stores must also tell the price per standard unit of measurement, so you can compare different products regardless of package size.
You still need to notice the increase, hence Carrefour's warning.
That's extremely nice to have. I whish that this would apply to all product categories. Sometimes products from the same category are of different measurement units. E.g., one is in liter and one is in grams.
