Supermarkets across the country are restricting the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables people can buy after a national shortage - which could last for weeks to come. The current spate of empty shelves has been caused by bad weather in North Africa and Southern Europe, where much our produce comes from.
There are fears the shortages could last even longer as UK producers, who normally take over supplying UK supermarkets from the spring and summer, cannot afford to grow as much this year because of the cost of energy.
Tesco has followed Aldi, Asda and Morrisons in introducing customer limits on certain fresh produce as shortages leave supermarket shelves bare.
