Cheeseburger Menu Index softens as dairy prices decline

The DCA Cheeseburger Menu Index shows weekly movements in European agri-food markets by tracking a fixed basket of ingredients used to produce a cheeseburger, a milkshake and a portion of fries. In week 48, the Index recorded a slight decline as dairy markets weakened further, driven by sharp drops in raw milk and SMP, while sugar showed a modest recovery after earlier losses.
