Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced plans to suspend tariffs on selected food and drink to help people save money in the supermarkets amid fears of rising costs. Some of the items included are pasta, juices, tuna, oranges, peaches and other staples of the weekly shop. These products will have tariffs suspended until the end of 2028, covering over £2billion worth of imports into the UK. A tariff is a tax imposed by a government on imported goods, which the cost normally passed on to consumers.
