Not the ice cream!

The ACCC has instituted Federal Court proceedings alleging Peters Ice Cream engaged in conduct ‘which hindered or prevented competition for the supply of single-wrapped ice creams to petrol and convenience retailers.’

The alleged conduct took place between November 2014 and December 2019 - the ACCC claims that by ‘entering into and giving effect to an agreement with PFD Food Services Pty Ltd to distribute its single-wrapped ice cream and frozen confectionary products to petrol and convenience retailers nationally’, which contained a condition that PFD could not distribute competing ice cream products, Peters engaged in exclusive dealing with an anti-competitive purpose and effect.
