TOKYO (Jiji Press) — Japanese food maker Meiji Co. said Monday that it will raise the prices of 115 of its products, including milk and yogurt, in stages starting with shipments or orders from Nov. 1.
Meiji will hike milk product shipment prices by 2.8-5.5 % and suggested retail prices of yogurt products by 3.6-6.3 %.
The suggested retail price of the company’s popular 400-gram Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt LB81 Plain carton will increase to ¥270 from ¥260.
