Lidl has become the latest retailer to ration fruit and vegetables in the face of UK-wide shortages.
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. This will help to ensure that all of our customers have access to the products they need."
