Title: Domestos
Post by: joe cassidy on October 03, 2015, 06:51:20 PM
Is Domestos still on sale in the UK ?

I can't find it anywhere in France.

I was thinking that it might have been banned for health & safety reasons ?

Best regards,


Joe

Thanks for the tip Bob.

You're right - I can buy Domestos on French Amazon.

I'd still like to know why the supermarkets in Paris seem to be boycotting it though.

Best regards,


Joe

It's British ?

Seems to be the usual reason  ::)

Unilever...British Dutch multinational HQ in Rotterdam and London.  They have a website for Domestos in French: http://www.unilever.fr/nos-marques/detail/Domestos/331864/ (http://www.unilever.fr/nos-marques/detail/Domestos/331864/) ...probably just a Parisian thing

I think it may be because there is one supermarket chain that has more or less a monopoly in Paris and they have decided to stop stocking Domestos.

They disguise their monopoly by operating their stores under 4 or 5 different brand names.
