Retail Food Prices To Rise On Wide Range Of Items
The Office of Price Stabilization plans ceiling price boosts of about a penny for many foods, raising the annual food bill by roughly 100 million dollars. Critics say competition sets prices, not ceilings, and that many below-ceiling items stay affordable for lower income shoppers. OPS notes not all affected prices will rise equally, with higher margins authorized to store operators to offset declining grocer earnings. Items listed include cereals canned vegetables and soups pickles olives canned meats smoked fish oleomargarine cookies frozen foods jams and jellies canned fruits and more, though tuna and salmon are excluded.
