食品値上げ、年１万品突破　原料高、再実施の公算大

　帝国データバンクが１日に公表した調査によると、２０２２年の食品値上げ（予定を含む）が累計１万７８９品目となり、１万品目を突破した。５月１９日時点の前回調査（８３８５品目）から急増。原材料や原油などの価格高止まりに加え、円安基調も続いており、帝国データは、年内に再値上げ・再々値上げなどの動きが進む公算が大きいとみている。
　調査は主要食品会社１０５社を対象に実施。前回から増加した２４０４品目のうち、酒類・飲料が１０７５品目と半数近くを占めた。キリンビールの「一番搾り」やサントリービールの「ザ・プレミアム・モルツ」などの値上げが決まった。（2022/06/01-16:39）

The total number of food products in Japan subject to price increases this year has topped 10,000, a private-sector survey showed Wednesday.
   Prices for 10,789 items rose or are scheduled to rise this year due to higher prices for materials and crude oil, a sharp increase from 8,385 in its previous survey taken May 19, credit research company Teikoku Databank Ltd. said. The poll covered 105 major food makers.
   Of the 2,404 items newly added to the list of products seeing price jumps, 1,075, or nearly half, were alcoholic drinks and other beverages, including Kirin Brewery Co.'s "Ichibanshibori" and Suntory Beer Ltd.'s The Premium Malt's.
   Seafood makers Maruha Nichiro Corp. and Nippon Suisan Kaisha Ltd. have said they will raise the prices of frozen food products for the second time.
   "Almost all foods undergoing price increases will face the possibility of further hikes" if crude oil prices, which directly impact packaging and transportation costs, remain high, a Teikoku Databank official said.
