VIRUS OUTBREAK-FOOD PRICES: Shoppers lately have seen historic increases in the price of meat and other foods as the coronavirus has disrupted processing plants and distribution networks.

Some produce also could be costly as persistent labor issues worsen due to virus outbreaks among workers. By David Pitt. UPCOMING: 950 words, photos by 10 a.m. Saturday.
