Italians are furious over soaring pasta prices and some are threatening a macaroni strike

retail profits have been stable and the problem comes down to the higher cost to produce food.

Shoppers like Noée Borey, a 26-year-old picking up groceries at a chain store in Paris, said she is all for setting ceilings for some food to help low-income workers and students."Inevitably, all the products I buy have gone up by 20%, whether it's butter or berries," Borey said."I'm not buying cherries anymore because they cost 15 euros a kilo" .

The Italian government says it will strengthen price monitoring by working more closely with the country's 20 regions but won't impose such limits.
