Issa brothers' Asda cuts prices on more than 200 family favourites over summer holidays
Asda is today cutting the prices of more than than 200 own-label products to help families during the summer holidays affected by the cost-of-living crisis.
The 226 products, which have been reduced in price by an average of nine percent, include a host of fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen meat and fish products, cupboard staples and popular ready meals. The initiative is part of the supermarket giant's ongoing investment to save customers money in the current climate.
It also comes comes as the latest Asda Income Tracker shows that 40% of UK households had negative disposable last month – meaning their take home pay is not enough to cover their bills. Last month, Asda, owned by Blackburn's Issa Brothers, launched a summer price lock campaign to freeze the prices on 500 popular branded and own-label products until the end of August.The supermarket also extended its hugely popular ‘Kids Eat for £1’ café meal offer for the rest of this year.
Asda recently added a selection of half priced adult meals to the menu, giving a family of four the chance to enjoy a meal in any Asda café for as little as £8.50 in total. Kris Comerford, Asda’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We know that families are continuing to feel the pinch financially – especially as they head into the summer holidays - and are looking for help to make their grocery budget stretch further. Whenever there is an opportunity to help them make their money go further by lowering prices we will continue to do so.”

Reversal of dual epigenetic repression of non-canonical Wnt-5a normalises diabetic corneal epithelial wound healing and stem cells - DiabetologiaAims/hypothesis Diabetes is associated with epigenetic modifications including DNA methylation and miRNA changes. Diabetic complications in the cornea can cause persistent epithelial defects and impaired wound healing due to limbal epithelial stem cell (LESC) dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to uncover epigenetic alterations in diabetic vs non-diabetic human limbal epithelial cells (LEC) enriched in LESC and identify new diabetic markers that can be targeted for therapy to normalise corneal epithelial wound healing and stem cell expression. Methods Human LEC were isolated, or organ-cultured corneas were obtained, from autopsy eyes from non-diabetic (59.87±20.89 years) and diabetic (71.93±9.29 years) donors. The groups were not statistically different in age. DNA was extracted from LEC for methylation analysis using Illumina Infinium 850K MethylationEPIC BeadChip and protein was extracted for Wnt phospho array analysis. Wound healing was studied using a scratch assay in LEC or 1-heptanol wounds in organ-cultured corneas. Organ-cultured corneas and LEC were transfected with WNT5A siRNA, miR-203a mimic or miR-203a inhibitor or were treated with recombinant Wnt-5a (200 ng/ml), DNA methylation inhibitor zebularine (1–20 µmol/l) or biodegradable nanobioconjugates (NBCs) based on polymalic acid scaffold containing antisense oligonucleotide (AON) to miR-203a or a control scrambled AON (15–20 µmol/l). Results There was significant differential DNA methylation between diabetic and non-diabetic LEC. WNT5A promoter was hypermethylated in diabetic LEC accompanied with markedly decreased Wnt-5a protein. Treatment of diabetic LEC and organ-cultured corneas with exogenous Wnt-5a accelerated wound healing by 1.4-fold (p|0.05) and 37% (p|0.05), respectively, and increased LESC and diabetic marker expression. Wnt-5a treatment in diabetic LEC increased the phosphorylation of members of the Ca2+-dependent non-canonical pathway (phospholipase Cγ1 and protein kinase Cβ; by 1.15-fold [
