Higher prices lift Mr Kipling owner RHM

Hovis-to-Mr Kipling foods group RHM today said that price hikes in its bread division had helped it to a 2% increase in half-year sales.

RHM added that an improvement in its Mr Kipling division had offset a softer performance in its culinary brands arm which includes, Bisto gravy, Sharwood’s Asian sauces, Robertson’s jam and Paxo stuffing mixes.
