Food inflation has affected both the EU and the UK, but the EU has had a few percentage points less inflation than the UK thanks to the single market helping slow it a little. But the Ukraine war and Iran war has affected everyone unfortunately.

For comparison from 2020 to 2025 it seems food inflation in the UK has been about 38% (House of Commons) while in the Eurozone it's been about 34% (FT reporting ECB stats, via Archive.is)
