Iceland Slashes Baby Formula Prices, Citing a "Moral Obligation"

— June 13, 2024 — Life-Stages
Iceland, the well-known frozen food retailer, has made a significant move by cutting the price of SMA baby formula powder, citing a "moral obligation" to help families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. The supermarket is now offering 800g tubs of SMA's Little Steps formula milk for just £7.95, making it the cheapest option available, at £1.80 less than its nearest rivals.

This substantial discount follows Iceland's earlier decision in January to reduce prices on three Aptamil formula lines. Richard Walker, executive chairman of Iceland Foods, stressed the company's commitment to supporting families during these difficult times and urged manufacturers and regulators to collaborate in lowering prices further.

Walker stated, "Families with babies are still struggling with the cost-of-living crisis, and we have a moral obligation to take action." He added that Iceland is actively pressuring the market to follow suit, highlighting the importance of affordable baby formula.
