As the grocery industry deals with high-profile challenges such as tariffs on imported goods and bird flu, overall food inflation in 2025 is likely to move up even as prices of most goods stay in check, industry experts said Thursday during a briefing hosted by FMI — The Food Industry Association.
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that about 80% of the foods and beverages that comprise the Consumer Price Index are headed to below-average inflation, suggesting that shoppers who are willing to be flexible should be able to keep their costs down this year despite shocks that have made it difficult to predict with certainty where conditions are headed, said Ricky Volpe, associate professor of agribusiness at California Polytechnic State University.
