Food prices see first fall for two years as stores compete
By Nick EdserBusiness reporter

When The rate of Inflation falls, it does not mean prices are coming down, but that they are Rising less quickly.
The BRC's chief executive, Helen Dickinson , said price rises were expected to continue to slow over The rest of The year.
" However, there are still many risks to this trend - High interest rates, climbing oil prices, global shortages of sugar, as well as The supply chain disruption from The War in Ukraine, " she added.
Mike Watkins from NielsenIQ, which produces The Shop price index with The BRC, said that despite price cuts by supermarkets in recent weeks, " there continues to be pressure on budgets with over half of households still feeling that they are significantly impacted by The continued increases in cost of living".
The BRC's findings echo The recent official Inflation figures, which showed that slowing food prices were behind a surprise Fall In Inflation in August .
, helped by falling prices for milk, cheese and Vegetables .
The slowdown in Inflation led The Bank of England to keep UK interest rates unchanged at its meeting last month.
