# Marmite row: Shoppers braced for food price hike

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BBC-Data-Unit/marmite-row/master/marmite%20food%20prices.png)

In October a dispute with the food manufacturer Unilever over a price hike for Marmite led to [a report on rising food prices](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37644921). 

We found retail food prices for previous years by using the Wayback Machine to find snapshots of food listings on the retailer Tesco's website. For a page [like this](http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=254880991) we could then find archived pages [like this](https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=254880991)
