A price check on canned foods and beverage items was conducted by Consumer Council earlier (30th December). In comparison with last month’s report, significant increase in average price is observed this month while decrease in price is minimal. Selling price of ‘Gu Long Spiced Pork Cubes (142g)’ has been increased by almost 30 per cent in two retail outlets and price increases are recorded at two retail outlets for ‘Porthos Sardines in Olive Oil (125g)’, with a price rise of almost 12 per cent. For beverages, average prices of most products have dropped or remained stable in the past three months. ‘Carlsberg All Malt Premium Beer (can 330ml)’ records a price drop of almost 10 per cent in two retail spots. However, a 16 per cent and 10 per cent increase in price are recorded for ‘Vita Lemon Tea (250ml x 6)’ and ‘CocaCola-Original (330ml)’ respectively. Consumers are advised to check with the reports for the most updated prices in different retail stores to save time and money. The Council will continue to monitor local price trend of both beverages and canned foods. The above-mentioned reports are now available online at the Council’s official website (http://www.consumer.gov.mo). For enquiries, please call 8988 9315.
