What is the impact of historically high inflation on the UK consumer landscape?

The average UK consumer is experiencing a severe cost-of living crisis as inflation surges to a forty-year high and the price of goods continues to rise. This shock is the result of the sharply increasing costs of commodities, energy, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and is threatening FMCG manufacturers, retailers, and foodservice operators’ ability to survive and grow.

The US cereal giant said it wanted to meet growing demand for plant-based foods in the country.

The new cereals are being sold under a new sub-brand, W.K. Kellogg, which gives a nod to the company’s founder of the same name.

Emma Birks, brand manager for W.K. Kellogg, said: “We’re committed to creating foods which suit changing consumer diets and with people increasingly seeking more plant-based foods, the W.K. Kellogg range is crucial to our portfolio. Timing of this launch is key; January is a fundamental opportunity to catch consumers adopting new, more wholesome diets and we’re well positioned with W.K.Kellogg to help retailers do so.”

The range of five products includes three granolas lines, with two of those developed with no-added sugar. The two other products are organic, wholegrain wheats.

The granolas have a recommended retail price of GBP3.79. Kellogg has put an RRP of GBP2.99 on the wheats.
