Foodservice price inflation accelerates in September as global energy and crop pressures mount 

The UK Foodservice Price Index reached 155.5 in September 2026, recording a month-on-month inflation rate of 0.9%. Following the relatively modest movements seen the summer, this distinct upward shift indicates that market pressures are steadily building as the industry transitions into autumn and winter seasons.
