LONDON, June 20 (Xinhua) -- Britain's grocery regulator has launched a formal investigation into Amazon over suspected delays in payments to food suppliers, citing possible violations of rules designed to protect supplier interests.
The Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) said on Friday it has "reasonable grounds to suspect" Amazon breached Paragraph 5 of the Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP), which requires retailers to pay suppliers on time.
