Shoppers have been warned that the price of milk will carry on rising as the cost of living crisis continues to grip struggling families. Arla Foods' chief commercial officer Peter Giortz-Carlson blamed high energy prices and the war in Ukraine for the increased costs. He said farmers are struggling with the price of packaging and feed for animals, which have risen by 40% - and said this will have to be passed on to customers. Mr Giortz-Carlson told Sky News that milk supplies could be impacted as farmers "cannot cover the costs" of keeping running their farms. He insisted Arla Foods' "main job here is to keep the products flowing, and make sure that there is a supply of food on the shelves."
