British supermarkets are committed to keeping the pantry staple cheap, but a worldwide shortage of durum wheat is threatening supplies
The US is also predicting a disappointing harvest due to arid conditions, anticipating a drop of at least 10 per cent on last year, while extreme weather in Spain, Italy and France has produced flour of mixed quality.
As of August 2023, a 500g bag of own label penne is priced between 75p to 80p at Aldi, Asda, Sainsburys, Morrisons and Tesco, with many supermarkets committing to a price lock. At Waitrose, the price is 95p, a 10p hike on last year. A spokesperson for the chain said: “We work incredibly hard to keep prices as low as possible, whilst also paying our suppliers fairly. We have a wide selection of pasta products – including our great value Essential Waitrose range – and regularly provide special offers.”
