All the UK supermarkets that DON'T have restrictions on fruit and vegetables

This week has seen four major UK supermarkets announce buying limits on certain fruits and vegetables in their stores due to a supply shortage.

Budget supermarket Aldi and the UK's biggest chain Tesco yesterday brought in a three-item limit for tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.

At the beginning of the week, Asda also announced a three-item limit on tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, salad bags, broccoli, cauliflower and raspberries.

Morrisons has told customers that they're now restricted to buying two tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and peppers per person.

As of writing, these are the only four supermarkets that have announced limits.

The products hit by these limits vary across the different stores with Asda imposing limits on the most items, with eight products affected.

Tesco and Aldi have limits on three products and Morrisons has limits on four.

According to industry experts, supply issues will likely continue for a number of weeks, likely until April or May.

The supermarket chains that have not imposed buying limits include:

Lidl

German discounter Lidl told Mirror Money that it doesn't currently have plans to put limits in place and confirmed that their update from yesterday was still the same.

Marks & Spencer

M&S told Mirror money yesterday that it was not planning to introduce a limit on shoppers as it had been able to "mitigate the impact through different supplier routes.

The supermarket chain confirmed this morning that its stance continued to be the same.

Waitrose
