However, UK food inflation is still higher than the European Union average and higher than many European economies.
The reason for this is due to three main factors: Russia's invasion of Ukraine, bad weather in Europe and North Africa, and UK labor shortages.
The prices of food imports may also play a role in the UK's higher food inflation.
The next set of UK inflation figures will be published on Wednesday.
