Tesco follows Asda and Lidl in rationing eggs
Tesco has become the latest supermarket to ration the number of eggs customers can buy following supply issues.
The grocer is now limiting customers to buying only three boxes of eggs, after Asda and Lidl set similar limits last week.
The move comes as UK poultry farmers face rising costs for chicken feed and energy, at a time when they are also being hit by an outbreak of bird flu.
Last week, Tesco reassured customers that it had good availability with no buying limits but was working with producers to protect supplies.
Now it has introduced a temporary rationing policy, following Lidl’s decision to limit the number of egg boxes to three per customer.
Asda has set a two-box limit per customer, but other grocers, such as Sainsbury’s and Morrisons are yet to make similar moves.
Sainsbury’s has admitted some stores may be running low on some lines and has sourced eggs from Italy.
