The shortages have been explained by farmers being hit by a mixture of rising prices and an outbreak of bird flu. Asda is only letting customers buy two boxes of eggs each.

In one Lidl branch, a ration of three egg boxes per customers has been put in place. Supermarket customers have taken to social media to share photos of empty shelves, The Mirror reports.
