[Photo] Surge in "Table Prices" as Food Companies Raise Prices Across the Board

After the Gaeim incident, companies have raised prices on 53 processed food items, including coffee, bread, frozen foods, and instant noodles, causing concerns over rising "table prices." Many analysts point out that companies had previously refrained from price hikes in cooperation with the government's price stabilization measures, but took advantage of the political vacuum to raise product prices en masse.
