I think having exact numbers of who buys what (down to the city) is still too much information, but that's just my 2 cents

The word "who" is what is missing in this.

Hence the data is not personally identifiable. And that word is exactly where the law draws its line.

Pre Internet. It was just as easy to get numbers like this. You just needed to watch the stock in shops.
