Shoppers have been warned that supermarkets could once again be faced with food and drink shortages as a carbon dioxide supply deal is set to expire.
The latest update comes after producers said shortages were looming last year after fertiliser firm CF Industries, which produces 60% of the UK’s food-grade CO2, said it would stop selling the by-product amid surging costs.
To keep the supply going, the Government stepped in and struck a deal in October, but now fears are rising again as the deal is set to expire on Monday.
