Signs are up in stores limiting one particular product to three per person
A notice implementing the ration on eggs has been put in place, according to a picture posted online. With a product shortage on the horizon, shoppers are being limited to three boxes per person.
Another posted from inside a Sainsbury’s store showing a sign that said: "We are currently experiencing supply issues across our fresh egg range. We are working hard to resolve these and apologise for any inconvenience caused." A sign read: "Eggs are limited to three units per customer to ensure that everyone has the essentials they need." Andrew Opie, Director of Food and Sustainability at the British Retail Consortium, which represents the UK supermarkets, said stores are "working hard" to " minimise impact on customers". He said: "While avian flu has disrupted the supply of some egg ranges, retailers are experts at managing supply chains.
Its members claim they've only received between 5p and 10p more despite the price of a dozen eggs rising by about 45p in the supermarkets since March. In a statement, the BFREPA said: "Feeding hens is now at least 50% more expensive than it was, and energy prices have soared in the same way that consumers have seen their domestic bills rise. Spending on fuel has grown by 30%, while labour and packaging also costs more.
