MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico will likely see consumer price spikes for "a while" and food inflation is a growing concern, the deputy governor of the country´s central bank, Jonathan Heath, said on Tuesday.

Earlier on Tuesday, the statistics agency of Latin America's second-largest economy reported annual headline inflation of 7.58% in early May, compared with 7.65% for the last two weeks of April.

Heath said on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) that general inflation was still very high and that numbers for all of May could end up exceeding numbers for April.
