24 Jul 2025 „Билла България“ ЕООД (Billa Bulgaria)Billa advertises oil containing 80% sunflower oil as olive oil – 405,936 leva BulgariaMisleading advertising and pricing €207,555

In June 2024, the retail chain advertised the product ‘Маслиново масло екстра върджин 20% – Basso Blend’ on its website, on radio, on television and online in such a way that olive oil was in the foreground, although the product consisted of 80% sunflower oil. The Комисия за защита на конкуренцията (Bulgarian Commission for the Protection of Competition, KZK) opened proceedings of its own motion, considered the advertising misleading (Art. 32(1) in conjunction with Art. 33 ZZK – Bulgarian Protection of Competition Act) and imposed 0.032% of 2024 turnover, i.e. 405,936 leva.

What organisations can take from it

Advertising must not highlight the share of a high-quality ingredient in a way that misleads customers about the composition – responsibility lies with the advertiser, not the agency.
