  • NIQ Global Intelligence flagged rising risk of renewed UK foodservice inflation despite a 1.4% month-on-month drop in Foodservice Price Index in March 2026.
  • March decline reflected delayed cost pass-through in UK supply chains, seasonal easing in fresh vegetables, and forward-buying in oils and fats plus dairy.
  • Firm warned global commodity benchmarks are now rising broadly, with crude oil spike tied to Near East conflict set to lift freight, packaging, farm inputs, and energy-intensive manufacturing costs.
  • Outlook points to wholesale price pressure returning into summer, with operators urged to lock in contracts while current dip holds.
