Fresh food prices have jumped 15% in a year, reaching a record high
The British Retail Consortium said that inflation on all food prices reached 13.3% in December, up from 12.4% in November.
It comes amid warnings that inflation shows "no immediate sign of waning", and Office for National Statistics researching suggesting families are struggling to afford healthy food. Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium , said: "It was a challenging Christmas for many households across the UK.
"Not only did the cold snap force people to spend more on their energy bills, but the prices of many essential foods also rose as reverberations from the war in Ukraine continued to keep high the cost of animal feed, fertiliser and energy."Fresh food inflation leapt to 15% for the month from 14.3% in November, while the price of ambient food, such as pasta and tinned food, increased 11% in December against the same month a year earlier.
However, non-food shops, such as fashion or homeware retailers, saw inflation slow to 4.4% in December from 4.8% a month earlier due to price cuts.
