AGP Executive Report

Last update: 42 minutes ago

Price Relief: Heart of England Co-op has launched price freezes on more than 40 “essential” food items across Coventry and Warwickshire, aiming to protect weekly budgets without cutting quality. Food Waste Push: Lidl is rolling out a new surplus-sharing trial with Olio, using “Food Waste Heroes” to collect evening surplus (including chilled meat and fish) and share it for free—potentially scaling to 11.9m meals a year if it works. Retail Pressure: Scotland’s retail sales fell again in April, with food down 4% year-on-year as shoppers trade down to own-brand and loyalty deals amid cost-of-living strain. Regulatory Watch: Scotland’s HFSS rules are set to bite from 1 October 2026, tightening promotions and prime shelf placement for high fat, sugar or salt products. Industry Shock: A UK meat supplier feeding Asda has entered administration, putting 130 jobs at risk.
