Heinz, Dolmio and Anchor: Top food brands see prices soar
The price of some of the most popular branded food items have as much as doubled in two years, new research suggests. Its survey compared prices of 79 items across six major supermarkets. Sue Davies, head of food policy at Which?, said: "Our research shows the shocking rate of inflation on some of the nation's favourite branded foods, which is much higher than the national average and highlights why it is so important for retailers to provide people with a choice of product ranges." For months, food manufacturers have been warning that they would need to increase prices because of the cost of raw materials and energy going up, partly due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In the summer, Tesco and Heinz had a dispute over the fact the US giant tried to boost the prices it was charging the UK's biggest supermarket, with some Heinz products even disappearing from the chain's shelves briefly.
