Aldi and Tesco have both joined Asda and Morrisons in limiting the quantity how many of certain types of salad crops customers can buy amid increasing shortages of some of the UK's most popular vegetables.
Shoppers will be restricted to just two or three packs of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers in all four supermarkets, with Asda and Morrisons imposing bans on bulk buying other produce to keep supplies in stock for everyone.
All four retailers have stressed the limit is temporary while they grapple with sourcing challenges for products that are grown in Southern Spain and Northern Africa. Other supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Lidl have so far not introduced limits.
