Food prices in Canada remained elevated in April, even as price growth slowed in restaurants and grocery stores.

According to Statistics Canada's latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, food prices, which include groceries and food from restaurants, increased 8.3 per cent in April. Thats down from the 8.9 per cent year-over-year increase posted in March. Restaurant prices increased 6.4 per cent, a slowdown from the 7.2 per cent increase in March.

The price of food purchased from grocery stores increased 9.1 per cent, a drop from 9.7 per cent in March, "with the slowdown stemming from smaller price increases for fresh vegetables and coffee and tea," Statistics Canada said in a release. However, the data agency noted that the deceleration was moderated by increases in the cost of fresh fruit.
