Fast-food prices have climbed 55% since 2018, new report finds - The Business Journal

Food prices continue to climb

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 experiencing minor reductions. However, the overall cost of everyday items remains elevated. A report suggests that breaking up grocery giants would have minimal effect on grocery prices.

“Food prices have risen for the second month in a row,” — Priya Delgado, senior market analyst at Newwell Mere Practice, observed.
