"We offer quality products and we have provided them with a fair proposal so let's see if they accept it or not. At the moment, they don't," a spokesperson for Ferrero's business in the Netherlands told just-food. He added Ferrero and Jumbo were in fresh discussions but declined to comment further.
Deoleo, the owner of Bertolli and Carbonell olive oil, said it had looked to increase its prices due to pressure on commodity costs.
"Products of Bertolli olive oil are currently not available in Jumbo and C1000 due to a commercial dispute regarding price increases for the products as a result of a complete crop failure in Italy and Spain, major suppliers of olive oil," Deoleo said. "The price of oil has gone up significantly."
Jumbo said it wanted to offer shoppers "the lowest price".
