Don't like the premise? Don't read it. This type of journalistic investigation is valuable because journalists keep companies accountable.

This article may even inspire change (such as reducing the packaging size), which will benefit everyone.

Was at PnP today and I see the Pronutro boxes/packaging are smaller now.
 
Carte Blanche level investigative journalism. It's what we need. Now I'm reassured when I'm buying my morning fixes.
 
Besides the fact that I think MBB is scraping the bottom of the barrel for articles, one has to mention the following, Corn Flakes are about R55pkg, while maize meal is about R60 for 5kg. Exact same produxt just in two different forms. Now 5kg Corn Flakes would be around R275. So how does Kellogs justify the markup?
 
Maybe the boxes are similar size for shipping and storage
Still not fair to the consumer however the mass is correct

Now test vitamin supplements to see if they contain what says on the label and then for a follow-up article, sports supplements. Especially in house pharmacy brands.
