I'm pretty there isn't one site to look up any product, but there are specific price indexes you can view. For example, the global big mac index : http://www.oanda.com/currency/big-mac-indexActually, that's only one I can find I'm afraid. There's a global "food" price index too, but it's not for specific items. Though I can tell you the price of Rice in Japan is extrordinarily high to due national laws that prevent the import of cheap rice and make sure rice sold within Japan is from Japan only. It's just one of the many corruptions in modern day Japan.
