Hungary's annualised consumer price index fell to 4.2pc in April from 4.7pc in the previous month, data released by the Central Statistics Office (KSH) show.
Retail chains were making out-sized profits on food and "we had to step in", Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.
A 10pc government-mandated limit on markups at supermarket chains has cut the prices of affected products by 16pc on average, National Economy Minister Marton Nagy said at a press conference on Tuesday, a day after the measure came into effect.
A mandatory 10pc cap on supermarket profit margins on 30 basic food products took effect on Monday, the National Economy Ministry said.
