Description
Announced investigation into iFood regarding alleged abuse of dominance through exclusivity deals
On 28 September 2020, the Administrative Council for Economic Defence Investigation (CADE) announced its investigation into iFood regarding exclusivity deals. iFood is alleged to have abused its dominance in the food delivery market by signing exclusivity deals with restaurants and supermarkets. After a complaint by Rappi, a rival delivery app, the CADE now initiated an investigation into the allegations that iFood prevented restaurants and supermarkets from registering themselves with competing food delivery providers, thereby restricting competition.
