Shoppers in East Lothian spotted yet another empty fruit and vegetable aisle, with the Lidl in Musselburgh seeing little to no produce on offer.
John Blower, a Musselburgh resident, snapped a picture of the stark reality that began last weekend. This comes after an initial shortage of tomatoes affecting UK supermarkets widened to other fruit and vegetables, due to a combination of bad weather and transport problems in Africa and Europe.
In recent days, supermarkets across the country have introduced shopper restrictions on certain fresh produce as shops struggle to get supplies due to reported supply chain disruption. These include Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons and Asda.
