Consumer NZ is questioning the removal of the ability to sort items by price, on New World and Pak'nSave websites

The consumer advocacy group says shoppers were used to having the option on other retailers sites - so say this change is surprising and disappointing.
Spokesperson Chris Schulz, says the move may limit options for shoppers and ultimately bolster supermarket profit margins, at the expense of local suppliers.
Consumer NZ says Foodstuffs told them, it's upgrading its digital platform to include more transparent unit pricing, and a new sorting feature will be added soon.
Foodstuffs has been approached for comment.
