The boss of Sainsbury's has said the UK is "probably through the worst" of a weaker pound fuelling food inflation.
After years of deflation, Brexit currency movements meant there had been a "little bit of food price inflation" this year, chief executive Mike Coupe told the BBC.
But he said food prices this Christmas would still be "about the same as they were two years ago".
His comments came as the retailer reported a 9% fall in interim profits.
However, the decline was not as bad as expected and sales rose.

I don’t think anybody wants Europe as a continent to fail, but I care very little on the corrupt EU.

My wife's family will testify to the effect EU membership and the adoption of the Euro has affected their lives. Yes there has been EU investment but wages are much lower than the UK and prices have gone up considerably to the point where a lot of stuff is more expensive than here. The EU honeymoon days for many of these smaller nations are over I think and they're soon going to realise that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Having broken away from Soviet control they've been sold another form of central control and a lot of them don't like it.
