Butter, cheese and milk were the biggest drivers of a rise in food prices for the year to April 2025, new figures from Stats NZ show.
Food prices increased 3.7 percent in the 12 months to April - well ahead of the annual inflation rate at 2.6 percent.
That follows a 3.5 percent increase in the 12 months to March 2025.
NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann explains what's going on.
