> Monetary policy isn’t the only or even the primary driver of inflation.

After two degrees in economics, my perception is that monetary policy is definitely considered a primary driver of inflation, probably THE primary driver. But this is probably irrelevant - see below.

> In this case, the inflation comes from increases demand on a portion of the food supply chain (shipping services).

Yes, for example: "in North America... a shortage of both shipping containers and truck drivers".

> The alarmism in the comment section largely comes from people misreading the headline.

To me, it feels alarmist for Bloomberg to consistently say "inflation" instead of "price increases" throughout the article. A temporary problem with supply/demand is not the same as inflation. Food prices will almost certainly fall back to their normal trajectory within a year or two, once supply/demand normalizes, whereas if there was truly inflation that would almost certainly NOT occur.
