Coles is limiting how many eggs its customers can buy around the country after a deadly strain of bird flu hit farms in Victoria.

Signs in physical stores and on the Coles online store have notified customers of the restrictions, saying: “Due to supply issues, we have introduced a temporary limit of 2 items per transaction on eggs.”
