Major importer delays price hikes after public criticism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFood importer Diplomat joins Osem in delaying price hikes of various products until at least after the Passover holiday in April, amid an intense public backlash.
The company says the planned increase in prices came only due to rising operating costs. It says the delay will cause it economic damage.
“The company is not a manufacturer, but an importer and distributor of various food items and the products,” Diplomat says in a statement. “When international manufacturers raise prices, Diplomat is forced to raise prices.”
Among the products imported by the company are Starkist, Pringles, Heinz, Milka, Gillette, Illy, Pampers, Mazola, Kikkoman, Oreo, Oral B and many more.
