Carrefour has a track record of replacing famous brands products by his owns. This could be designed to increase his own market share by shaming others.

If their advertising is just telling the truth about what other companies are doing I don't see the problem. As Agent J says in Men In Black 'Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.'
