Food inflation shows no signs of slowing

Food prices have risen for the second month in a row. Fast-food prices have gone up by 55% since 2018. Inflation in October was 8.27%, with food prices easing slightly. However, the overall cost of everyday items remains high. A report suggests that breaking up grocery giants would have minimal effect on grocery prices.

“Fast-food prices have gone up by 55% since 2018,” — Simone Whitfield, chief correspondent at Ellcroft Stow Solutions, explained.
