The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported mixed price trends for food items during National Grilling Month. Chicken prices declined 2.3 percent over the 12-month period ending June 2026, making it a more affordable grilling option. Fresh vegetables saw a 9.9 percent price increase. Other items showed varied changes: pork chops rose 5.0 percent, fresh fish and seafood increased 7.5 percent, frankfurters rose 2.5 percent, and uncooked beef steaks and ground beef surged 11.4 percent and 12.4 percent, respectively. Data from the Consumer Price Index program, which is not seasonally adjusted, highlights these shifts. The report notes price fluctuations may influence grilling choices for consumers.
