The European Commission, which acts as the competition enforcer in the 27-country bloc, did not name the companies or the countries targeted by the raids.
“The investigation concerns an alleged agreement or concerted practice to share national markets for the online ordering and delivery of food, groceries and other consumer goods in the European Union,” the EU antitrust agency said in a statement.
Just Eat Takeaway, the biggest online meal delivery company operating in the EU, said it was not aware of any EU investigation into its activities.
“To the best of our knowledge, Just Eat Takeaway.com is not currently under investigation by the European Commission (formal or informal) in respect of any possible deal with other online food delivery providers to ‘share national markets’,” a company spokesperson said.
A spokesperson for Uber, which owns the Uber Eats food delivery service, said it had not been targeted by the EU.
