HR 8895 would make it illegal for large grocery stores and food delivery apps to use shoppers' personal data to set higher prices for certain individuals. The ban covers stores of at least 15,000 square feet and delivery platforms such as Instacart or DoorDash. Exceptions exist for voluntary loyalty programs, temporary retention discounts, and price differences tied to real costs like shipping or taxes.
The bill affects everyday shoppers who buy groceries in stores or through delivery apps. It also applies to large grocery chains and delivery companies that would need to change how their pricing software works.
If enacted, the Federal Trade Commission could treat violations as unfair or deceptive business practices and take legal action against companies that break the rules. The bill also requires the Department of Labor to study whether electronic shelf price tags are reducing grocery store jobs, though that study has no immediate effect on anyone.
