Is Hyperinflation On The Horizon?

[zh cohen]

Are the shluchim there going through proper training to certify all these complicated plants and machinery?

They have been doing hashgacha for years. Seems like the difference is that now they are doing more (most?) of it, and are charging more.

@mods it's time to remove the question mark and the first word of the title,
You can also remove the prefix "hyper" to satisfy @ExGingi

15% immediate price hikes is well on the road to "hyper."

most here don't care much about hyper, meaning for some as long as its not hyper its all good, while others are just upset of the lose of buying power without going into details if it meets or exceeds the definition of hyper

For those who understand supply chain economics, inflation hits specialty items exponentially harder than standard items.
A basic reason for this that over larger volume you can afford to have a lower margin than when the volume is much lower.
I'm one of those images they compare store brand mayo with gefen. The comparison is ludicrous. You can't even compare gefen to a name brand like Hellman's. It need to be compared to a specialty Mayo for proper comparison. You'll likely see very similar results if you don't be comps correctly.
You can't compare CY milk to your local store brand or even to a national brand like Dean or Hood. If you compare to locally sourced or specialty milk, you'll find the pricing far more similar.
For example, a 1/2 gallon specialty milk in stop mad shop sell for $3.49 and CY milk sells for $3.69.
This is why many out of town communities find it cheaper to bring in CY than produce their own. I could easily set up a CY operation locally for our community but the price would be the same or higher than bringing it from NY.

One of the main driving forces for pricing is volume.
Volume.Volume.Volume

Why can't you compare Gefen mayo to store brands made at the same private label plant?

We should change to “Is Hyperinflation here to stay?”

There’s overhead involved with Kashering the plant for the one-off Kosher run, and then the Hashgacha.

I still think it’s inflated compared to their real cost increases, but some of it can be explained.

THe expense of kashering is dependent on the plant. If it is always kosher that will be much less even though some heimishe hechsherim will still require a level of kashering. Also, many of the heimishe brands piggyback off each other for the productions. If those are the differences then it should not be nearly as pronounced.

Hashgacha is no excuse to charge double.

I know that heimishe canola oil companies have no superiority in kashrus over the big brands with an OU, I wonder where mayonnaise fall in. Gotta ask the Magrover about Hellmans vs Gefen.

According to someone in the industry, Mayonnaise is the only product actually produced by Kayco. A better example would be Ketchup.

ahh

He was the one upfront with me about oil

I know of a restaurant that lost it's heimishe hechsher and eventually closed down over this.
