美英两国的减缩正在上升, 产品在规模或质量上都收缩, Shrinkflation is rising in the US and UK, with products shrinking in size or quality while prices hold or increase.

根据消费者团体和产业数据,英国和美国的减缩十分普遍,日常产品如牙膏、巧克力、燕麦和药品在规模或质量上萎缩,而价格保持不变或不断上涨。 Shrinkflation is widespread in the UK and US, with everyday products like toothpaste, chocolate, oats, and medicine shrinking in size or quality while prices stay the same or rise, according to consumer groups and industry data. 制造商将飞涨的成分、能源和运输成本(可可价格高达45年)作为关键原因,迫使对包装和食谱作出调整。 Manufacturers cite soaring ingredient, energy, and transport costs—cocoa prices are at a 45-year high—as key reasons, forcing adjustments to packaging and recipes. KitKats、Gaviscon和Aquafresh牙膏等产品尽管价格没有改变或提高,但现在的含量却较低,导致每单位费用急剧增加。 Products such as KitKats, Gaviscon, and Aquafresh toothpaste now contain less despite unchanged or higher prices, leading to steep per-unit cost increases. 消费者倡导者敦促提高透明度,特别是通过更明确的单位定价,而购物者则通过转而储存品牌或大宗购买而适应当前的通货膨胀压力。 Consumer advocates urge greater transparency, especially through clearer unit pricing, while shoppers adapt by switching to store brands or buying in bulk amid ongoing inflation pressures.
