Due to a lack of fresh produce, Lidl is the most recent supermarket to impose restrictions on the sale of some fruits and vegetables.
Due to "a recent increase in demand," the company is capping the number of peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers that can be purchased by one customer.
Some customers will now encounter empty shelves as a result of similar actions taken by Tesco, Aldi, Asda, and Morrisons.
Following the impact of extreme weather on harvests abroad, supermarkets are having issues.
A spokesperson for Lidl told the BBC that "unfavorable weather conditions in Spain and Morocco" had a negative impact on the accessibility of some salad items.
Although we still have good availability in the majority of our stores, Lidl decided to temporarily impose a limit on the number of peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers that can be purchased by a single person to three. "This will make it easier to guarantee that all of our customers can access the products they require. ".
Former environment secretary George Eustice predicted shortages would last three to four weeks on Sunday.
