The body which represents UK supermarkets says the cost of a food shop should ease in the coming months.
While overall food inflation rose in the year to April, according to the figures from the BRC-NielsenIQ shop price index, fresh food prices accelerated last month to 17.8%.
She added the price of coffee had jumped because of an increase in the cost of coffee beans, as well as key producers exporting less. Wholesale food prices have started to fall and the World Bank, which works on solutions to reduce poverty in developing countries, has said it expects them to drop 8% by the end of this year.
However, Simon Roberts admitted widespread price falls were not likely to come soon as energy and labour costs continued to rise.
