Fears are growing over a reported egg shortage as reports of potential rationing hit the headlines. There are said to be urgent talks across the industry about how to cope with an egg crisis.
And The Sun newspaper claimed some of the biggest supermarkets are considering rationing eggs or importing from Poland. When contacted about the reports, a spokeswoman for Aldi said the chain has "good availability" of eggs. And a spokesman for Asda said there were "currently" no limits on eggs.
Sainsbury's, Lidl and Tesco were also contacted but are yet to respond to the claims. As reported last week, a sign in a Sainsbury’s stated: "Can’t find the eggs you want? We’re dealing with supplier issues right now. We’re sorry for any hassle this causes."
