(NBC) Get set to pay even more at the grocery store next year. Many food manufacturers have said they plan to raise prices for a range of items from coffee to condiments like mustard and mayonnaise.
Food prices overall are forecast to rise 5% in the first half of 2022, according to Information Research, Inc.
Oreo maker Mondelez recently said it’s hiking prices across its cookies, candy and other products by 6 to 7%.
General Mills and Campbell Soup also plan price increases in January.
The Wall Street Journal reports Kraft-Heinz has told retailers it will raise prices for Jell-O and Grey Poupon, among other products, with some going up as much as 20%. However, Kraft says it won’t be passing all of that on to customers.
Many staples are expected to be more pricey, in part because of higher labor, packaging and shipping costs.
