US Lettuce Prices Drop as Other Food Costs Remain High
The price fell sharply after a cyclospora outbreak curbed demand for greens, even as new inflation data complicated Trump's claims that prices are 'rapidly going down,' according to The Guardian.
U.S. lettuce prices dropped sharply this summer after a cyclospora outbreak curbed demand for greens, falling further in August, The Guardian reported.
The decline came even as fresh inflation data released Friday told a more mixed story than President Donald Trump's claim earlier in the week that "food prices and almost every other item are rapidly going down," according to the report.
