Asda has announced restrictions on fruit and vegetables amid dwindling stock.
A limit of three has been put on tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, salad bags, broccoli, cauliflower and raspberries.Retailers are said to believe the problems come from a mixture of bad weather, transport problems and poor yields in Europe and Africa.An Asda spokesman said: ‘Like other supermarkets, we are experiencing sourcing challenges on some products that are grown in southern Spain and north Africa.
‘We have introduced a temporary limit of three of each product on a very small number of fruit and vegetable lines, so customers can pick up the products they are looking for.’Got a story? Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
Just stop scaremongering… local co op has loads
Does that mean there are no fruits and vegetables in the stock? When will it be selling them again? It's a shame we haven't tried the healthy choices yet though, but we haven't tasted it for days. Poor little kids, they need a proper healthy food for growth.
This is because takeaways buy there salad stuff from supermarkets. I see it all the time. Trolleys full of lettuces, tomatoes etc.
Wow ASDA has changed the policy of 5 a day!
Heres some more 'Breaking News'. I have just come back from Aldi, where there were plenty of fruit and veg of ALL description, including tomatoes, and NO restrictions, so Asda can DO ONE!!
Thank goodness the headline got me worried.. I thought pepsi walkers_crisps or my fav krispykremeUK were being limited!!! Big relief 😘🍩🍕🥤😋

Propaganda
What produce will be next I wonder? Marmite?
Fucking mint 👌🏻
Not sure why this is considered breaking news unless the aim is to incite panic buying and mass hysteria. Well done 👏 to you the reporting media. Why not report on something that is actually newsworthy for a change?
I've said this before and I'll say it again, support farmers and grow your own!!!
Veg is bad, meat is good
'Bad weather' Contradictory to the global warming narrative
Brexit. The gift that keeps on giving. 🎁
BREX SHIT
Right I’m digging up the lawn!! Tom and Barbara here we come thegoodlife
Simply buy what’s in season and you won’t have a problem, plus it tastes better!
Pay the farmers You greedy Turnips!
Ahhhhh. Queue the mass panic buy like toilet rolls 3 years ago.... FFs
Brexit the gift that keeps giving
Buy tins - no one thought about it yet?
Do people actually believe this nonsense! Bad weather!!! Here in Spain we’ve had great weather and absolutely no shortage of veg! In fact cucumbers are on offer in Aldi. Brexshit is the answer
Oh brilliant 🤦♀️…now peoplr will go buy from multiple supermarkets and it will go bad ! I only buy 1 cucumber 1 pack toms 1 salad etc as it doesn’t last fromthe supermarket
The cause. The Brexit cult.
There was plenty of fruit and veg in my local market yesterday.Go there instead
Why are people that can organise growing their own veg this year, or are they just lazy? I have started 3 veg already and will plant my own veg.
daisybakerox this is why there was no strawberries
Supermarkets should invest in home production and pay our farmers a good price instead of relying on overseas supply.
Another reason to put the prices up
This is another plot to increase the prices new world starting to play out There many British farms that can produce enough for the uk market
So what are we blaming this on? Covid or the war in Ukraine? Pull your heads out of your backside, we should never have left the EU.
Brexit benefits? Scurvy!
asda should restriction on all of it stock as never any on shelves at our store like we in first world country
Stop importing and go back to seasonal fruit and vegetables from national farmers. So what if we haven't got strawberries all year round?! Supermarkets carbon footprint for importing the UK's fruit/veg/meat etc ?
I mean, I completely understand, but there's people I know who have a large family. Something like this will affect them the most
Brexit is the gift that keeps giving.
The one upside is people can’t hoard it for later in your pantry or shed so there’s only so much one person can buy for the sake of buying it until it becomes financially cavalier to do so cause it ends up rotting, I mean you could freeze it but the space is limiting too
Is it just like the 'egg crisis' not paying the farmers enough
Those saying it’s unacceptable need to look at the bigger picture. You can’t help weather conditions. Earthquakes in Turkey where citrus & tomato are exported from are beyond control. Rising costs in electric etc. When you rely on imports that’s many factors that contribute.
Maybe the supermarkets should start paying the farmers more so they can afford to run their farms
No farmers, no food it’s that simple. The supermarkets keep bumming farmers making it unviable to farm and then low and behold we cant generate enough food to feed ourselves. Brexit doesn’t help matters either!
Keep winning with Brexit!
Behold the fruit and veg press scaremongering has begun
Part of your '3 a day'. 🤣
Brexit Brexiting 🙄
Brexit going as expected
