FOOD INFLATION FORECAST LOWERED: REPORT
Canada’s mid-year food price report predicts food inflation will be slightly lower this year than previously estimated. The forecast projects grocery and restaurant food prices will rise three to four per cent this year, rather than the three to five per cent anticipated in December. The bad news, for many, is that meat is expected be more expensive than previously thought, with prices soaring seven to nine per cent by the end of the year.
