A class action lawsuit has been filed in the Haifa District Court against Wolt Enterprises Israel Ltd. The plaintiff, Aaron Amravi, alleges that the Wolt platform sells government-regulated food products at prices exceeding the legal maximum. According to the plaintiff, consumer damages amount to 2.5 million shekels. The statement provides examples: a two-liter bottle of 3% fat Tara brand milk is sold for 17.1 shekels, while the maximum price is 14.7 shekels; a pack of 30 eggs at a store in the Sharon area costs 60 shekels, compared to a regulated price of about 35.6 shekels. The plaintiff insists that Wolt is not a neutral platform but plays a significant role in the sales process, charging businesses a commission of up to 30%. A key argument involves the Wolt Market chain, where the company itself monitors price compliance. The plaintiff demands that Wolt be required to control prices on regulated products and compensate consumers for overpayments. Wolt rejected the allegations, calling the lawsuit unfounded, and stated that businesses set their own prices and that Wolt operates in accordance with the law.
