H.R. 8895 — No Rigged Grocery Prices Act

This section prohibits food retailers (i.e., stores of at least 15,000 square feet) and third-party delivery service providers from using dynamic pricing that raises food prices based on a consumer’s personal data. It creates exceptions for loyalty program offers, retention discounts, and consented promotional pricing, as well as for price differences based on objective costs such as shipping or taxes. The section requires online grocery platforms to disclose changes in item availability and whether an item is weighed to set its price. It also requires third-party delivery providers to obtain explicit consumer approval before substituting a grocery item. Violations are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission as unfair or deceptive acts or practices.

This section directs the Secretary of Labor to submit a report to Congress within one year of enactment on the effects of grocery stores adopting electronic shelf labels on the number of individuals employed by those stores.
