The Kroger Co. has shared a statement on a recent report by Consumer Reports, The Guardian and the Food & Environment Reporting Network that alleges widespread errors on price labels at Kroger and Kroger-owned stores such as Harris Teeter, Fred Meyer, Fry’s and Ralphs.
Consumer Reports said its investigation found expired sales labels that resulted in overcharges on more than 150 grocery items.
“The Consumer Reports allegations boil down to misinformation, reviewing a handful of discrete issues from billions of daily transactions,” the retailer said in the statement. “It in no way reflects the seriousness with which we take our transparent and affordable pricing.”
