Have you been struggling to get your hands on eggs?
A third supermarket has joined those retailers rationing egg buying. The National Farmers’ Union has called for an “urgent investigation” into egg supply chain disruption.
The move comes after last week Labour accused the Government of "crossing its fingers and hoping for the best" as a crisis in supply of eggs grows in the country. The shopping chain, which has stores throughout Nottinghamshire, said that it had introduced a temporary buying limit of three boxes per customer as a precautionary measure.The impact of the supply issues is hitting both farmers and consumers.
The Government said the situation is being monitored but insisted the UK’s food supply chain is “resilient” and that no “significant impact” is expected overall. A Defra spokesperson said: “We understand the difficulties that rising costs combined with the bird flu outbreak are causing for farmers and we are working with industry to monitor the egg market.
