Reports are emerging of empty shelves in Bristol as supermarkets across the country face fresh food shortages. Shoppers in Sainsbury's, Tesco, Aldi and Asda noticed a lack of tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, lettuce and peppers over the weekend, with the supply issues expected to continue.
Pictured are the bare shelves at Sainsbury's Winterstoke Road branch on Monday (February 20) with no tomatoes, peppers and other salad items being sold. The reason the supermarket gave on a sign by the shelves explained how supply was being disrupted by poor weather in Europe and Africa.
Customers shared their findings on Twitter with @Fatmango reporting "no fresh veg at all" on Saturday (February 18). Addressing Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi, @Narlz_da_bass said: "Seems to be a serious lack of fresh tomatoes and peppers in your Bristol supermarkets… what’s going on?"
