Last update: 6 hours agoSeafood: Young’s is expanding its £69.5m Gastro range with basa in garlic-and-herb sauce, now at Sainsbury’s, betting shoppers will try less familiar fish in easy midweek meals.

Wine: Aldi has introduced eight French regional wines priced £6.99–£19.99, with four more collections planned for 2027. Shopping pressures: UK retail footfall fell 4.7% in October as bad weather deterred shoppers. Global food prices dipped 1.2% in October as cereals, dairy and meat became cheaper, but remained 5.9% above a year earlier; seafood buyers are also trading down, making sustainability premiums harder to justify. Packaging: The European Commission has opened an inquiry into rising imports of PET resin and related chemicals, a move that could affect packaging supply chains if safeguards follow.
