A WSJ article looked into the rise in food prices and said:
Many small manufacturers that have raised their prices have another explanation. They say they also are being squeezed by the distributors who act as gatekeepers to many supermarkets.
...
These days, the chief executive of Yellowbird Foods relies on national distributors to ship his product to stores, a process he said is riddled with obscure costs that make it hard to know what, if anything, he'll be paid.
...
Many smaller food makers complain they are being gouged, and that fees and other charges that stream in from distributors have forced them to raise their prices to stay in business.
So basically, every voice that said that greedflation was a conspiracy theory was wrong and Kamala was 100% right.

Literally everything got more expensive. Supply lines for the product and packacking, gas for trucking, more COVID regulations in plants to comply with laws
Every step of the way everything was made more expensive but yes making cashews cost 80cents more was purely greed
Even the fed said it wasn't greed and they want nothing more than to blame others vs inflation
