I bought 175 g pack of salami which had 162 g of salami as well.

    Could also just be losing a strand or two in packaging. It happens. That’s why they’re allowed some wiggle room on the packaging weight, and 8 grams is a pretty reasonable margin of error for a product like this.

    Shrinkflation is definitely a thing, but this isn’t a good example.

      The same package in Germany is 500g, so maybe there is an element of shrinkflation as well.
