Which? responds to the news that food inflation has hit 12.4 per cent

Sue Davies, Which? Head of Food Policy, said: 

“It’s hugely concerning that food prices are continuing to soar. Which? research recently found that millions of people are skipping meals or struggling to put healthy meals on the table.

“It is absolutely essential that households get the support they need from the government and businesses during the cost of living crisis.

“Supermarkets must ensure budget lines for healthy and affordable essential items are widely available across their stores. Promotions should be targeted at those most in need and people supported so they can easily compare the price of products to get the best value.”
