Due to the rapid increase in food prices, French residents are ready to buy products that have expired. In this respect informs BFMTV.
“Soon prices will rise even higher. Some talk about the ‘Red March’, others about the ‘Black Quarter.’ The report said inflation increased by an average of one percent per month over the course of the year.
The report also noted that inflation in France could jump to 3% by summer. At the same time, food prices in the country increased by 14.5% throughout the year.
Some buyers noted that they are afraid of poisoning with expired food, but it is much cheaper.
Earlier on Friday, French information and analytics publication LesEchos published A report on the rise in food prices in the EU, stating that inflation is accelerating and concluding that accelerating food inflation has become “a political issue throughout Europe”.
Prior to this, Jacques Cressel, President of the French Federation of Trade and Distributors, said that from the beginning of March, French distributors will start to buy products from food manufacturers at 10% more than the current price.
