Tesco to face Competition Authority inquiry

Supermarket giant Tesco faces the prospect of a Competition Authority investigation into claims that it told suppliers it would no longer buy goods from producers selling to German discount chains Aldi and Lidl.

Retailers group RGDATA has called on the Authority to investigate claims that a Tesco executive recently told vegetable producers that they should not supply Aldi or Lidl if they wanted to remain supplying Tesco.
