UK egg shortage: Tesco may join ASDA and Lidl in rationing amid empty shelves

There is speculation that Tesco is considering joining supermarket rivals including Asda and Lidl in limiting how many eggs customers can buy as the UK faces shortages.

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.

And now the Guardian reports Tesco is considering taking similar action after shoppers posted photos online of decimated supplies in its supermarkets. However, the supermarket giant is understood to not have any buying limits in place.
