Shoppers have been warned that food prices are going to continue to rise.
As the rate of inflation hits seven per cent, Lord Stuart Rose, who is chairman of Leeds-based giant Asda, has demanded more intervention from the government after warning food prices are going to get even higher, and stay high.
As LeedsLive reports, when asked if the six per cent rise in food prices we've already seen could get even worse, he replied: “They are going to go higher and they are going to stay high for quite some time, I fear.”
