Packs of Lurpak ansd Anchor butter are now 20% smaller in shops across the UK after prices were hiked earlier in the year. The popular butter brands, which are owned by Arla Foods, have seen blocks go from 250g to 200g.
The reduction comes despite prices rising by around 15% over the last year. According to analysts at Trolley.co.uk, the cheapest 250g pack of Lurpak’s unsalted butter used to cost around 90p per 100g, but the cheapest 200g pack now costs £0.95 per 100g, reports The Mirror.
The lowest price for the 200g block is now around £1.90, compared with £2.25 for 250g. Last week it was announced that food inflation remained at record-high levels of 17.1%.
