According to the latest data, the Food and Beverage component of the US Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) reached 345.662 on 2026-06-01 (Q2 2026), a slight increase from the previous value of 345.174, but the year-over-year growth rate has dropped to around 2.88%.
