Weekly surveys now cover fuel and household essentials alongside food, and the results appear in the public price checker.
Weekly price surveys have been extended beyond food to cover fuel and a set of household essentials. Officers record what is actually being charged in shops and forecourts, and those records feed the price checker on this portal.
The distinction matters when reading the checker. The legal maximum is what the law permits. The surveyed price is what an officer recorded on a specific date at a specific shop. Prices can move between surveys, so treat the surveyed figure as a guide rather than a guarantee.
