Supplies of the hugely popular snack brand Walkers have been hit by shortages. The news was confirmed by the firm who blamed its limited stock on a computer problem.
The apparent lack of supplies have mainly affected supermarkets - with shoppers spotting evidence of the shortages online. Both Asda and Tesco customers saw limited supplies of some of their favourite Walkers crisps on sale while shopping over the internet.
Reports suggest that less than a third of the firm's crisp varieties could be purchased online via Tesco because of the error. Meanwhile, shoppers were left unable to buy more than 70 Walkers snack products from Asda via the internet because of the apparent shortage.
