From now on, families and pensioners can buy even more products at a lower price, state secretary Róbert Zsigó said in a post on Facebook.
The markups cap now also applies to apples, pears, plums, grapes, tomatoes, cabbage, red onions and green peppers, cream cheese, spreadable cheese, beef tenderloin, beef brisket, pork liver, pork liver cream, and baby food, he listed.
Budapest Metropolitan Government Office head Botond Sára said in a separate post that the office will continue to inspect retailers to determine if they are complying with regulations.
So far, the government office has conducted nearly 500 inspections, and every time it has encountered irregularities, it has taken action and imposed fines, he added.
The government rolled out a 10% cap on markups for the food products and a 15% cap on the non-food products in the spring. The measure was set to expire at the end of November.
