Aldi has issued a ban on customers, following in the footsteps of supermarkets such as Asda and Morrisons.
Shoppers will not be allowed to buy more than three of a select number of vegetables, amid a UK shortage. In a statement released on Wednesday, Aldi said the "temporary" ban had been introduced in its stores.
Products affected include peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes, the Mirror reports.

An Aldi spokesperson said: "We are limiting purchases of peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes to three units per person to ensure that as many customers as possible can buy what they need."
The retailer said it was going to continue to work hard alongside its suppliers to be able to provide enough for its shoppers.
The move comes after Morrisons announced it was putting limits of two per item from today on four products and Asda said on Tuesday it was limiting shoppers to three items across eight products.
Asda said the restrictions were put in place because it was experiencing "sourcing challenges" for products that are grown in southern Spain and north Africa.
Other supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Lidl told the Mirror that they were not planning on introducing buying limits on certain products.
