Germany’s Green Party has unveiled a proposal requiring major supermarket chains to develop mandatory mobile applications that would allow consumers to compare food prices across different retailers in real-time.
The initiative targets large grocery chains operating in Germany, mandating they provide transparent, up-to-date pricing information through dedicated apps. This would enable shoppers to instantly check which supermarket offers the most competitive rates for their grocery needs before making purchasing decisions.
For residents navigating Germany’s diverse supermarket landscape—from discount chains like Aldi and Lidl to premium retailers like Rewe and Edeka—such apps could prove particularly valuable amid ongoing concerns about food price inflation and cost of living pressures affecting households nationwide.
