It comes despite separate research from consumer group Which? that found the price of some branded goods on supermarket shelves has more than doubled in the last 12 months.
The consumer champion, which tracked almost 26,000 food products at eight major supermarkets, found:
a six-pack of Mr Kipling chocolate slices at Tesco was the branded product that rose the most in price, going from £1.16 on average in 2022 to £2.66 in July 2023
1kg of Lancashire Farm natural yoghurt at Asda increased from £1 to £1.80 - up 80%
180g of Pilgrims Choice extra mature grated cheddar at Morrisons went from £1.20 to £2.11 - a rise of 76%.
The BBC has contacted the supermarkets for comment.
I'm expecting exceedingly good half year results.......
