McDonald’s Israel announced this morning (Wednesday) on social media that it is raising the price of its menu by an average of one and a quarter percent. In a statement, she announced that starting today, she will raise the prices of meals in shekels. The price of children’s meals will not rise and will remain as it has been for the past seven years.
McDonald’s will also raise the prices of beverage products in shekels due to the sugary beverage tax and diet and the one-time tool tax. The price of mineral water will not change. The reasons for the price increase, according to the company, is the increase in wages and raw materials as well as the tax on sugary drinks.
The chairman of the economics committee, MK Michael Bitton, commented on the increase in Osem’s prices and called for a boycott of the company.

Osem announced yesterday to the marketing chains that some of its products will soon increase in price by 3% -7%. The announcement states that product prices will rise at the beginning of February by an average of 4.6%, due to “sharp global increases in raw materials, packaging and transportation costs. “.
The company added: “Unfortunately, the trend continues and its consequences amount to unprecedented costs, even after deducting the effect of exchange rates. After taking every possible move and absorbing the price increases for a long time, we are forced to make an update that only partially compensates for input prices.” Osem added that the price list of Materna products will remain unchanged.
About a month ago, Osem announced to several marketing chains an increase in the prices of its pasta. In response, Rami Levy’s supermarket chain removed the pasta products from the shelves.
