Supermarket giant Lidl has implemented a strict nationwide rule in all supermarkets that will affect anyone who shops there. It comes after Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Morrisons all implemented similar policies across stores.
From today, anybody shopping at Lidl will be limited on how much of certains fruit and veg they will be allowed to buy. The retailer is now limiting peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes to three per person.
In a statement, Lidl said: "As advised to our customers through signage in our stores last week, adverse weather conditions in Spain and Morocco have recently impacted the availability of certain salad items across the supermarket sector. Whilst we still have good availability across the majority of our stores, due to a recent increase in demand we have taken the decision to temporarily limit the purchase of peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers to three items per person."
