The grocery commissioner says the failure of online supermarket Supie is "disappointing" as he tries to level the playing field for new entrants to the market.
The company's move into voluntary administration came on the same day that the commissioner revealed his "Top 3" fix-it list for the sector.
These include stopping misleading or inaccurate pricing by retailers, curbing bad behaviour by influential suppliers, and lowering barriers to entry for newcomers.
Grocery commissioner Pierre van Heerden spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
