Foods that will go up in price thanks to Trump's tariffs

I have to admit I wasn't worried when I read the list. A lot of the produce is so cheap to start with. And Canada and Mexico are not the only places where the produce and meat comes from. Isn't most meat consumed in the US from domestic meat producers? A lot of berries come from Peru in the winter, US in the summer. Most bananas are from Costa Rica, so not affected by the tariffs (directly). The PP explaining that it doesn't mean an automatic 25% rise in food prices nailed it perfectly.

| Has anyone else had the little “avocados from Mexico!” jingle stuck in their head all week because of the tariff stories |

Sure you can. I bet you grow cows and avocados. |

This year, people will probably start stealing from gardens. Good luck. |

It isn't just the tariffs themselves, it's also retaliatory tariffs. Read about the Smoot-Hawley tariffs.

Well a lot of farmers purchase fertilizer from Canada so it wouldn’t be limited to just the food products listed in the OP’s post. |

I’m good with this if it keeps fentanyl from our country. Small price to pay. |

I've been thinking the past few years how food is so much cheaper in Europe and Asia. I'm talking about buying in grocery stores and markets.
A 3 euro bottle of wine there is much superior to a 20 USD bottle here. |

| I assume most food will go up in price, as grocery companies decide to take profits on the food that isn't covered by tariffs. |
