Today, in association with SymphonyIRI, just-food launches its international basket – a group of 17 items from tuna to milk that will highlight the difference in price between national brands and own label in seven international markets. Amid the worst economic conditions for a generation, shoppers are becoming more promiscuous in their behaviour and the data will prove valuable to brand manufacturers, own-label suppliers and retailers alike.

Rod Street, executive vice president of consulting at SymphonyIRI, provides analysis of this data here.
