Some families have resorted to stealing baby formula to feed their children amid the cost of living crisis. The price of the product has increased along with food items, making it unaffordable for some people.
The issue was raised during the Cabinet Office debate this morning (July 14). SNP MP Alison Thewliss said that some formula is now so expensive that it is being security tagged and kept behind the till to prevent theft.
Addressing the Commons, she said: "One of the most worrying increases in food prices is for infant formula, some of which is now so expensive it is security tagged and kept behind the till because families have resorted to stealing it.
