Although the period of high inflation is behind us, certain food products continue to rise sharply. This is the observation made by “Le Parisien”, after noting several upward price changes. Thus, if according to INSEE, the prices of food products increased by only 1.2% over one year in April (compared to 1.7% in March), several brands are experiencing significant inflation.
This is the case, again according to the “Parisien” reports, of several brands in the sweet grocery section: Lu’s petit-beurre, Kinder chocolate bars or Nutella spread are particularly singled out. And the price of the Coca-Cola bottle of 1.75 exceeded the symbolic bar of 2 euros. The reason, according to Grégory Caret, director of the UFC-Que Choisir Consumer Observatory, is the commercial negotiations concluded at the end of January while the price of sugar soared until October. But other food products also increased, such as Caprice des Dieux cheese (+5.59%), which gained 19 euro cents over one month.
