    "Shrinkflation": time to regulate? / Monkey deaths at Hong Kong zoo

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about the consumer affairs issue known as "shrinkflation".

    The Consumer Council has said it conducted a survey involving 62 supermarket products, and found that nearly all of them had been reduced in volume or weight by as much as 30 percent over the past three years, while in some cases prices had risen.
    While noting that many of these items were manufactured outside of Hong Kong, the watchdog called on retailers to provide more transparency by labelling changes in size and weight.
    Several jurisdictions have taken steps to clamp down on the questionable practice, with France and South Korea requiring traders to display details of such changes on packages or in shops.
    Should Hong Kong follow suit?
    After 9:45, we speak to a biological anthropologist about the monkeys which have died at the Hong Kong zoo, some of them endangered species.
