With six generations of consumers shopping side by side for the first time, poor product quality registered as the biggest frustration across the board, with 47 per cent saying they were most annoyed when food spoils too quickly or doesn’t last. The finding comes from the latest report by UK-based product intelligence platform, Vypr into Australian consumers, Six Generations, One Shelf.
