What the ACCC does

  • We enforce the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct.
  • We enforce the Unit Pricing Code.

What the ACCC can't do

  • We don’t investigate every individual complaint about unit pricing.
  • We don’t resolve individual disputes between suppliers of groceries and signatories to the Food and Grocery Code.

The remade Food and Grocery Code of Conduct is in effect from 1 April 2025. It is now a mandatory code.
