According to StatsCan, overall inflation was +3.2% in May, with Food Purchased from Stores at +4.3%. Weather, harvest conditions, freight and global supply disruptions continue to play a role in the price of goods. But energy volatility, trade uncertainty and geopolitical conflict are making costs harder for the entire food supply chain to predict.

The Loblaw Food Inflation Report includes context surrounding this reality, and more.
