Price gouging laws

Anyone else think there should be laws to stop price gouging ? I’ve seen Facebook posts of people selling baby milk and other essentials at vastly inflated prices.
I think they should be prosecuted and their stocks confiscated and given to a food bank or similar to allocate back to people in need.

Slippery - who would pay that? When my dc were smaller I used reusable nappies and wipes at home and I would consider cutting up some old towels to do this again - not ideal but a bucket of bleach and a boil wash would keep them clean if we were desperate.
But baby milk - there’s no real alternative if you chose not to or couldn’t breast feed.
