Lower Pinoy Tasty bread price seen

MANILA, Philippines—The price of Pinoy Tasty sliced bread may go down by 50 centavos to P1 next month if trials using a new lower-priced flour from Europe are successful, the Philippine Baking Industry Group (Philbaking) said on Thursday.

Philbaking president Nestor Constancia said they were looking for alternative sources of flour to replace the locally milled Harinang Pinoy, which uses US wheat.—Amy R. Remo
