Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, and Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., are calling upon the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Agriculture to investigate Albertsons and other major grocery chains for “predatory pricing” practices that may have violated federal laws.
In a letter sent to FTC Chair Lisa Khan and USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, Warren and Schiff expressed concern that chains, including Albertsons, “may be making false and misleading representations regarding food sold by weight, leading to customers paying more for groceries than expected.”
