Why is there a cooking oil shortage and can supermarkets limit purchases?

Many major UK supermarkets like Tesco, Morrisons, Waitrose and Iceland have enforced limits on the amount of cooking oil that shoppers can purchase.

Supplies of olive oil, sunflower oil and rapeseed oil have been affected by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine - both of which are key suppliers of these oils.

This has in turn put a lot of pressure on food manufacturers, due to which retailers have decide to ration the amount of cooking oil you can purchase.
