DCA Cheeseburger Menu Index

The DCA Cheeseburger Menu Index tracks changes in food production costs across dairy, meat, potatoes, crops and ingredients. It converts movements in the DCA Market Intelligence benchmarks into a single measure showing overall menu cost shifts.

Each meal component (cheeseburger, fries, and milkshake) is built from standard ingredient quantities tied to DCA benchmarks and European reference prices, reflecting raw material and processing trends.
