How are these food-price changes calculated?
Each row compares two stored monthly BLS CPI prints for the same series: the latest published month versus the immediately prior month. Percent change is (current − prior) / prior × 100. Year-over-year uses the same month one year earlier when that print exists. Values are never estimated or authored.
