London: Britain's grocery watchdog on Friday launched an investigation into whether online retail giant Amazon made late payments to food suppliers.
The Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) said it had "reasonable grounds" to suspect Amazon had breached industry rules prohibiting delayed payments to suppliers in Britain between March 2022 and June 2025.
"I decided to launch this targeted investigation based on the range of evidence I have seen from multiple source," adjudicator Mark White said in a statement.
Amazon became a designated UK grocery retailer in 2022.
That made it subject to industry rules that ensure Britain's largest retailers -- those with an annual grocery turnover above £1 billion ($1.3 billion) -- treat suppliers fairly.
