Customers at Aldi and Sainsbury's have been shocked by an egg shortage in stores.
Supermarket giant Sainsbury's among other competing shops Tesco and Lidl are displaying signs in stores warning shoppers of supply issues. A Lidl branch has already started rationing, with a limit of three boxes per customer.
One Sainsbury's shopper at the supermarket's Urmston store, said: "I wasn't aware the shortage was widespread till coming to the store today, a lot of the shelves are bare with limited choice on free range eggs. I hope this doesn't become long-term food insecurity.
