Consumer Council conducted its specific product price survey on eggs earlier. Survey result showed that prices of eggs were stable and the greatest price difference of the same egg brand sold at different retail outlets recorded was 27.55 percent. The Council conducted a price check on 9 brands of eggs from 13 supermarkets on 24th January. Survey result showed that egg prices remained stable, those which recorded price differences of over 20 percent included 'Fresh eggs (Hubei Jinsheng)/8 pcs', which was sold at $9.8 to $12.5, with a price difference of 27.55 percent; 'Fred Meyer Grade AA Extra Large Eggs/12 pcs', which was sold at $18.8 to $22.8, with a price difference of 21.28 percent; 'Surewin Egg/8pcs', which was sold at $12.0 to $14.5, with a difference of 20.83 percent. In comparison with November's survey result, the current survey showed that prices of eggs were stable as 7 of the 9 surveyed brands recorded no change in price this time. Consumer Council indicates that its specific price survey aims at helping consumers make price comparison for the same product, consumers are therefore advised to check with the 'Specific product price information platform' prior to making purchase. The specific price survey on eggs is now available on the Council's website (www.consumer.gov.mo) and the Council's 'Supermarket Price Information Platform' iPhone and Android apps.
