The cost of groceries remains high across the country – including the price of an item most people have in their homes, butter.
The rising price of butter comes down to the increasing cost to produce butterfat, according to Sylvain Charlebois, Agri-Foods Analytics lab director at Dalhousie University.
Remi Guzel, owner of Ola Luna Cake and Bake Shop, says she uses butter in 90 per cent of the goods she offers customers.“Whenever I order my butter, I am scared to see the price increase on the invoice. It gives you nightmares.” “I know if you go on some of the online marketplaces, for example, you can actually find butter for sale,” said Scott Tracey, a spokesperson with the Guelph Police Service.“Grocers will invest a tremendous amount in loss prevention technologies for the meat counter and dairy with cheese,” he said. “But with butter grocers make very little and so there’s no will to really protect that category all that much.
