More than 2,500 products subject to shrinkflation, says ONS

As many as 2,529 products have shrunk in size over the past five years, but are being sold for the same price, official figures show.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said it was not just chocolate bars that have been subject to so-called "shrinkflation".

It said toilet rolls, coffee and fruit juice were also being sold in smaller packet sizes.

Andrex admitted its rolls were smaller, but said they were now better quality.

At the same time the ONS said 614 products had got larger between 2012 and 2017.
