Food Inflation Drops to 2.2 Per Cent

Experts caution that falling food prices may provide a false sense of security despite recent data.

Food and drink inflation has seen an unexpected decline, falling to 2.2 per cent in the year to May. This marks a notable decrease from the 3 per cent recorded in the year to April.
