Call 12: Peanut butter costs on the rise
sandwiches around… is going up. way up! (mm) peanut butter lovers… you might just go nuts when you hear how much your kids’ favorite food is increasing. problem solver susan hogan is here with the details. (sh) chunky or creamy may soon be replaced by bologna. but for the millions of kids who rely on peanut butter for their brown bag repertoire this everyday lunch staple may get too costly to ingest. (sound of shoveling peanuts) it’s a little nutty at virginia and spanish peanut co in providence…with word that the price of peanuts are going up by 40 percent november 1st that means only one thing i think we will see a slight slow down in the pb production… nuts are roasted daily here along with freshly ground peanut butter…but with a record drought in the southeast where the majority of peanuts are grown, companies like this one will be feeling the squeeze.
