Pret a Manger has reduced the price of its best-selling sandwiches after the retailer was hit with claims of profiteering, The Telegraph reports. 

Price cuts have been introduced across Pret’s six most popular products, with some sandwiches falling by up to £1.

That includes the price of a tuna baguette, which has been lowered from £4.25 to £3.99, and the Posh Cheddar baguette, which has fallen from £4.99 to £3.99.

A total of 66p has also been knocked off the price of a cheese toastie, which now costs customers £4.99. Egg mayo sandwiches have also been cut from £3.40 to £2.99.

It comes after the sandwich chain was forced to defend hiking prices over the past two years.

The company’s shops and franchise director Guy Meakin said last October that the company had always been “transparent” with its customers.
