Since 2022, food prices have risen by almost 30% for a Swedish two-child family, and the food basket has become approximately 3,000 Swedish kronor more expensive

Omissions

• The specific figure of 'almost 30%' appears to be an estimate or projection rather than an official SCB statistic; available peer-reviewed research documents a 25% increase for the 2022-2023 period specifically
• The claim of 3,000 SEK additional cost for a two-child family food basket could not be independently verified from official sources
• The MEP's claim extends beyond verified data periods (2022-2023) into early 2026 without citing a specific source for the cumulative figure
