CONT

[...] le phénomène [...] récent de la «duraflation»(«shelflation» en anglais) s’observe lorsque les chaînes d’approvisionnement ne fonctionnent pas de manière optimale et que les produits alimentaires n’ ont plus la même fraîcheur que d’habitude lorsqu'ils arrivent chez le détaillant. Ils sont parfois un peu trop mûrs, privant l'acheteur d’une certaine durée de conservation nécessaire à la maison.
