Food and drink prices showed an annual rate of inflation of 3.3% in the year to February 2026, in the most recently published inflation figures for the UK, released by the Office for National Statistics. This is a decrease from 3.6% in January 2026.

General inflation in the UK was 3.0% in February 2026, unchanged from January 2026.

The ONS does not breakdown inflation figures at constituency level.
