CBC has found that Loblaws and other major grocery stores have been overcharging customers for underweight meat. The report found overpriced fresh meat at seven Loblaw-owned or Sobeys-affiliated stores in the Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax areas.

Last year, a similar investigation revealed that as many as 80 Loblaws stores in Western Canada — as well as Sobeys and Walmart locations in several provinces — had been weighing meat with packaging, increasing prices by 4% to 11%.

Federal regulations state that posted net weights for packaged food, and subsequent pricing, can’t factor in the packaging.
