Supermarkets ration the sales of eggs

ASDA and Lidl are limiting the number of boxes of eggs customers can buy, amid supply disruptions caused by rising costs and bird flu. Asda is limiting customers to two boxes of eggs each and Lidl is restricting customers in some stores to three boxes, while Waitrose said it had not introduced any limits but was “continuing to monitor customer demand”. Other retailers including Tesco, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer and Co-op say they continue to receive good supplies and are not limiting sales.
