Bread price control faces force as talks fail
The U S government plans to use its powers to force bakers to cut costs and fix bread prices after voluntary cooperation stalls. Tests by the food administration show ingredient costs per one pound loaf range from 3.44 to 3.72 cents, challenging baker profit claims and prompting license measures to standardize a 10 cent loaf and raise bread quantity. The action targets inflated profits by disallowing the practice of doubling ingredient costs to compute production and distribution expenses.
