“#Prices for household staples like diapers, detergent to surge<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Household staples from diapers to tampons are poised to hit consumers with sticker shock this fall, even as the US slowly shakes off its pandemic woes.<\/p>\n

Procter & Gamble \u2014 the maker of Tide detergent, Pampers diapers and Gillette razors \u2014 said Tuesday it plans to raise prices on a slew of products by September, citing the rising cost of raw materials and shipping. <\/p>\n

The price increases will affect baby products, adult diapers and feminine-care brands and will be in a percentage in the mid- to high-single-digits, the company said.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes weeks after rival Kimberly-Clark, which makes Scott toilet paper and Huggies diapers, announced mid- to high-single-digit price hikes by June.<\/p>\n

Procter & Gamble blamed its price increases on the \u201cimpact of rising commodity prices,\u201d including surging costs for raw materials like wood pulp and resin. <\/p>\n

Prices are rising in the food aisle as well, with shortages causing bizarre demand for products like Grape-Nuts cereal, which started selling on the black market for as much as $100 a box during the dark days of the pandemic. <\/p>\n

Post, the Minnesota company that makes the crunchy, high-fiber cereal, said in March it was back at full capacity and cited production glitches related to skyrocketing pandemic demand for the product.<\/p>\n

Cheerios maker General<\/a> Mills is ticking up prices on major brands, as is Hormel Foods Corp., which makes Jennie-O ground turkey and Skippy peanut butter. J.M. Smucker Co. has already boosted the price of Jif peanut butter and is considering hikes on its pet products, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Paper products are going up because of a shortage in pulp and polymer resins, while other products are becoming more expensive because of increased shipping and transportation costs due to the pandemic, manufacturers said.<\/p>\n

The last time paper product prices went up significantly was in 2018, when there was a similar run on pulp, experts said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The consumer price index, which measures what consumers pay for most goods, jumped by 2.6 percent in the year ended in March \u2014 or the biggest 12-month increase since August 2018, according to government data.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a different situation, as everywhere in the world countries are in very different places as far as coming out of the pandemic,\u201d Procter & Gamble\u2019s chief operating officer, Jon Moeller, told the Wall Street Journal. \u201cThere is very strong consumption across the board.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n
