Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).

The claims regarding food prices and inflation in Germany lack external evidence. Without corroborating data, these claims cannot be verified. The claim about food prices rising by 36.3% since 2020 and the total inflation rate being 22% are statistical assertions that require specific data sources for validation. Similarly, the claim that certain food categories have increased the most and that food is becoming more expensive than the average price level also need evidence. The claim about fruits and vegetables being less affected due to seasonality is plausible but lacks specific evidence. Overall, these claims remain unverified due to the absence of supporting evidence.
