Beyond Endives
As most readers know, Alfonso has been gung ho about endives.
On pain of breaking the anti-food fatwa enunciated yesterday by my learned co-blogger, I must report today the ultimate case in this series of post.
Earlier in the month, the Belgian competition prosecutor issued the equivalent of a SO in a case concerning a “salad” of unlawful exchanges of information. Please tighten your seatbelt. The practices under investigation cover:
- Candies, including possibly chocolate;
- Ice-cream;
- Sauces (BBQ season is coming);
- Veggie and other stocks;
- Pet food…
Clearly, the scope of this investigation goes beyond anything reported earlier on this blog.
Thanks to Aoife White (Bloomberg) for the pointer.
One last thing: given my co-blogger’s obsessive focus on food, I suggest that, for our next quizz, chief Alfonso cooks an antitrust dinner to the winner, where endives will be served with flour and BBQ sauce.
