Marmite, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and Hellmann’s mayonnaise maker Unilever has implemented its biggest quarterly price rise in history as the consumer goods manufacturer fought to keep up with soaring food and materials inflation.
The Blackfriars-based business, which also sells Dove bodywash and Lynx deodorant, said it had put prices up by an average of 12.5% in the three months to September and had also reduced the pack sizes of some products to prevent further price rises.
