Shops, restaurants and food factories across the country are facing shortages of a number of key ingredients because of the cost of living crisis, the weather and the war in Ukraine.
Eggs were added to the list of things shoppers in the UK may soon see disappearing from shelves after farmers said the rising cost of production is making them unviable.
The egg industry says shops could start to run out of supply within weeks. British Egg Industry Council chairman Andrew Joret said: “The tidal wave of cost increases will see many family farms, some of which have been producing eggs for generations, going under in a matter of days, unless something is done quickly.”
