Average family will spend nearly $1,000 more on food in 2026: report

The Food Price Report forecasts a 4–6% inflation rate driven by meat costs and supply pressures, increasing average annual food bills to $17,571.79 for Canadian families.

  • A report projects an average Canadian family of four will pay about $995 more for food in 2026 due to issues like trade and climate change, totaling around $17,572.
  • The report cites factors like U.S. tariffs on goods like coffee from Brazil, rising meat prices from smaller cattle herds, and climate impacts on crop yields for the predicted food cost increase.
  • The rise is estimated at 4-6% food inflation next year, with meat up 5-7%, seafood 1-2%, dairy and eggs 2-4%, and restaurants 4-6% more expensive, according to the report.
