Nongshim, Treljuzuri, Dunkin' Raise Prices... Consumers Express Concern Over Food Industry's Domino Effect

Processed food and dining-out prices are rising again as major food companies and casual dining chains raise consumer prices. Escalating raw material costs and exchange rates have increased food manufacturers' production costs, leading to widespread price hikes. Nongshim will raise prices for 43 brands including instant noodles and snacks, with average increases of 6%, 5.5%, and 7.7% respectively. Bakery and dessert brands like Treljuzuri and Dunkin' are also adjusting prices due to rising material costs and logistics expenses. This marks a continuation of price increases across the food industry, with concerns over growing consumer costs.
