SINGAPORE: The price of condensed and evaporated milk as well as
certain brands of fresh milk, has gone up.
This is according to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE)
which conducted a price survey, following concerns by
consumers.
CASE checked four major supermarket chains - Carrefour, NTUC
Fairprice, Giant, and Sheng Siong - and found that condensed milk
prices have gone up by about 10 to 45 per cent.
Leading the pack was Nestle Milkmaid High-Calcium condensed milk
which now costs about 50 cents more.
Also up by about the same amount is Nestle Carnation Full Cream
evaporated milk.
CASE also found that the 1 litre packs of Marigold, Magnolia, Farm
House and Daisy fresh milk, now cost between 10 and 55 cents
more.
But when it comes to sugar, prices have gone down or remained the
same.
For those who are looking to cut costs, CASE suggests choosing
supermarket housebrands which are cheaper. - CNA/yy
Every single Auntie KNOW that there is a PRICE HIKE for the
condensed milk.
The responsibility of CASE is to look into matter and find out the
reason of price hike for the public.
INSTEAD, they are TELLING us that what we know and tell us to buy
cheaper brand.
It is like if you cannot afford taxi fare, you walk.
If the CASE cannot serve the primary role of assisting the consumer
and give useless and meaningless response, it should be
DISBANDED.
