Breakfast items have been most notably hit by the skyrocketing costs to produce food in the UK.

Breakfast items have already faced rising prices in the past after it got drastically more expensive in January.
Food prices rose another 4.2 per cent with the return of punishing inflation after the Budget's business tax hike.
The price of basic groceries also jumped by record levels as farmers, food manufacturers and retailers passed on the higher costs caused by pandemic supply chain disruptions and the energy crisis.
Supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Marks & Spencer have all warned that shoppers will face higher prices because of higher taxes in the Budget.

How to save money on your food shop
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes - plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds.
"Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.

Russian submarine shadowed by Royal Navy as it travelled through UK waters
Royal Navy helicopters and a warship have shadowed a surfaced Russian submarine as it sailed through the North Sea and English Channel. Portsmouth-based patrol ship HMS Mersey, a Wildcat helicopter from 815 Naval Air Squadron and a specialist submarine-hunting Merlin aircraft from 824 Naval Air Squadron were involved in the operation to monitor the RFN Novorossiysk as it sailed west through UK waters. A Royal Navy spokesman said: 'The British warship and helicopters utilised powerful sensors and systems to watch every move the Kilo-class boat and Goryn-class tug boat Yakov Grebelski during their voyage.' HMS Mersey's commanding officer Lieutenant Commander Dan Wardle said: 'This operation is another clear demonstration of the Royal Navy's enduring commitment to safeguarding the United Kingdom's maritime interests. 'Monitoring the transit of naval vessels through our area of responsibility remains a fundamental task; one that ensures we maintain situational awareness and the ability to respond swiftly when required. 'I am proud of my ship's company, whose professionalism, cohesion and constant readiness continue to reflect the high standards expected of Royal Navy personnel.' The spokesman said that as the Russian submarine left UK waters, monitoring responsibilities were passed on to Nato allies. He added: 'It was the sixth such tasking for HMS Mersey in the last three months and comes just a week after the patrol ship and fellow Portsmouth ships HMS Duncan and HMS Trent were all activated to watch Russian frigate RFN Admiral Grigorovich and corvette RFN Boikiy in UK waters.'

I'm a dog expert – here's the biggest mistake you make that causes your pet to behave badly, and it's so easy to fix
WHEN a dog misbehaves, the immediate reaction of most owners is to just blame the animal. However, Diane Hart, dog rehabilitator partnering with The Pettifor Trust, has revealed that owners themselves could be the root of the problem. 1 And smothering your pet with love while talking to them in a baby voice are signs you could be at fault. Diane emphasises that owners often unintentionally cause harm by treating their dogs like human children. Dogs, she explains, need to understand their place at the bottom of the "pack" to feel comfortable and secure. When a dog is at the top of the hierarchy, they may begin to assert dominance, even over children. This is especially true if the parents are strong "alphas" and the child is not, leading to the dog potentially going after anyone who touches the child. Offering up her simple fix, Diane advises: "Don't treat your dog like a child, you have to respect the dog for what it is. "The dog, in order to be comfortable, has to be at the bottom of the pack. If you put them at the top of the pack, they will start bossing the kids around." On training and leadership, she adds: "Owners need to learn to be a pack leader, by being consistent. Once the owner shows they can take control of their dog, the dog will listen." Dogs are also deeply sensitive to their human companions, with their behaviour often mirroring the owner's temperament. Diane says that many dogs arriving in her care demonstrate issues directly linked to their previous home environments. INCREDIBLE moment hero vet staff save dog from choking on favourite toy And sadly, these are dogs other rescue centres might deem too challenging. Many dogs display anxiety, reactivity, or withdrawal due to picking up on their owner's mood or stress. Border Collies, in particular, are highly sensitive to their surroundings and human energy. Originally bred for rural life, they can be noise sensitive and do not thrive in overly loud or chaotic environments, such as homes with constant shouting or screaming children. Their needs for extensive exercise arevery important, and a lack of this - coupled with frequent owner absence - can lead to severe separation anxiety and hyperactiveness. Common behavioural issues often stem from a lack of consistent love and control within the household. This can manifest as anxiety, nipping, pacing, and lunging at people. Diane said: "I believe 100% a dog is a mirror image of yourself; if you are hyperactive, your Collie will be the same.
