Price difference between private label and branded food products increased

The price difference between private label and branded food products increased between January 2023 and January this year, according to price comparisons of basic foodstuffs in Tesco, Lidl, Billa and Kaufland stores conducted by the daily Sme. This is mainly due to a drop in the prices of the private-label produce. In the case of private and branded flour, the price gap in Billa is 135%, up from last year’s 58%. In the case of butter it was 65% vs 16% and in the case of ketchup 244% vs 187%. The prices of butter, oil, and flour have fallen the most over the past year.
