Milk and cheese prices to increase

THE cost of milk and cheese is expected to increase in coming weeks as companies push to hike prices.

Glanbia, which controls brands including Avonmore, CMP, Yoplait, Kilmeaden, Premier Milk and Snowcream, is recommending a price increase from Sunday.

Kerry Group said a price increase remains “under review” given the increase in the cost of raw materials, fuel and packaging.
