Retailers are temporarily limiting the number of egg boxes customers can buy due to supply problems.
Some supermarkets including Asda and Lidl have started to ration the number of boxes of eggs customers can buy due to supply issues.
Tesco said it had good availability with no buying limits but was working with producers to protect supplies. It added that the price supermarkets were paying for eggs had not kept up with costs. Since March, supermarket prices have risen by about 45p per dozen, but only 5p of that has been passed on to producers, it said.Chief executive Robert Gooch said: "We have been warning for months that failing to pay farmers a price which allows them to make a profit would result in mass de-stocking or, worse still, an exodus from the industry.
