Andrex 화장지, 여분 Anadin, Cadbury는 강조하고 Warburtons 빵은 다스 매일 품목 중 이다. 몇몇 주요한 슈퍼마켓은 - Tesco, Asda, Morrisons 및 Sainsbury를 포함하여 - 이었다 지난 주 급습하는 OFT 의혹의 속에 조사자 그리고 변호사에 의하여 소매상인이 가구 제품의 가격을 고치는 것을 결탁했었다. 어떤은의 가장 큰 다국적 또한 수사에서 OFT 포함된다. 공급자는 - Procter & Gamble, 코카콜라, GlaxoSmithKline, 단일 레버 및 Andrex의 미국을 포함하여 소유자 Kimberly 클라크 - 조사자에게 가격 정보를 공급하기 위하여 말되었다. 무엇이든은 유죄이라고 수억의 파운드일 그들의 연간 판매의 순화될 수 있었다 10% 까지 찾아냈다. 식품값 인플레가 이미 평균 가족의 연례 쇼핑 계산서를 거의 곁에 증가할 때 있어야 한다 보다는 또한 소비자가 그들의 쇼핑을 수억의 파운드에게 더를 지불했었다는 것을 의미할 수 있었는가? 800. 소비자 그룹은 그들의 가격을 팽창시키기 위하여 슈퍼마켓과 그들의 공급자가 세계적인 음식 비용에 있는 최근 붐을 이용했다는 것을 두려워한다. 제안은 급속하게 상승 식료품류 계산서로 뿐만 아니라 고투해 가구의 수백만에 특별한 관심의 - 또한 증가시킨 저당 및 동력비 일. 필립 Cullum, 국가 소비자 위원회, 정부의 소비자 감시인의 임시 대통령은, 말했다: "소비자는 이 매일 품목 파운드의 많은 수백만에 소비하고 구매자는 OFT 어떤의 국가에서 제일 알려져 있는 회사 사이 관계를 조사하고 있다는 것을 보기 위하여 경보될 것이다.

The disclosure that the pricing of some of Britain’s most popular brands is being examined demonstrates just how wide-ranging the regulator’s new investigation is. It is also running a separate investigation into price-fixing allegations surrounding dairy products and cigarettes. John Bridgeman, a former OFT director general, said: “Supermarkets account for a huge amount of consumer expenditure. It is a ?100 billion sector of the economy. “There is no smoke without fire. The OFT is not going to go big on this unless it has something to go on.” MySupermarket.co.uk, the comparison website, said supermarkets sell commonly-purchased goods at almost identical prices to each other. At the same time, prices have risen substantially. Research by The Grocer magazine showed that a trolley-load of 150 items costs ?241.50, a ?10 increase on last year. Prices in supermarkets have risen by 5.5 per cent since last April, according to official government data. For example, a 250g packet of mild cheddar cheese has gone up 17 per cent while a 500g packet of dried spaghetti has increased by 51 per cent. The price of butter has risen by more than 50 per cent. However, some health and beauty products are cheaper. The Grocer estimates that Fairy Liquid, made by Procter & Gamble, now costs 7 per cent less. Other brands understood to be on the OFT list include Colgate Total toothpaste and Dove Moisturiser. Biscuits manufactured by Northern Foods, one of the largest food producers and a major supplier to Marks & Spencer, are also there. All the supermarkets and food manufacturers involved have vehemently denied any wrongdoing. Senior retailers have dismissed the OFT’s latest probe as a “fishing expedition” and have reacted angrily to what they see as yet another high-profile OFT probe. Shares in Tesco, Sainsbury and Morrison fell on news of the OFT investigation. Its allegations contrast with the findings of the Competition Commission which will publish the results of its study of the grocery sector tomorrow.

The OFT would not have gone public with this if there were not a grain of truth in this . We are struggling in the UK as inflation is rising the fastest that it has done since the early 1990s according to some reports and living in the UK myself i can say that i have seen my food shopping rise significantly in the past 6 months . This is just another way of the MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS of taking advantage of the ordinary man and woman on the street , if its not the GOVERNMENT screwing us into the ground with thier taxes its the MEGA-CORPS that have an almost perfect monopoly on us , and in some ways its our own fault as we continue to pay these ridiculous prices that the MEGA-CORPS impose on us . Its about time that we realised that as consumers that we have POWER and we should use that POWER by not buying overpriced big named brands , would it realy kill us if we did not buy the big brand names and instead went for the cheaper alternative . The big brands would soon realise the message in fact the only language that they understand e.g. MONEY and PROFITS! . They would soon understand that message FAST and the prices would eventualy be greatly reduced . We have POWER and its about time we used it! .
