Are you cutting back on your cooking oil?
Some supermarkets are limiting how much cooking oil customers are able to buy as supplies are hit by war in Ukraine.
The British Retail Consortium says the restrictions are a temporary measure "to ensure availability for everyone." Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Waitrose said: "We are closely monitoring the situation and working with our suppliers to ensure customers continue to have a choice of cooking oils."Signage at a Tesco store in Hatfield showed customers were limited to three per customer.
But he also warned that sunflower oil may soon be unavailable on the shelves. "These limits may delay things a bit, but in a couple of months, there won't be any sunflower oil available to buy," he suggests.A spokesperson for Sainsbury's said: "We are working closely with our suppliers to make sure customers continue to have cooking oils to choose from including olive oil, vegetable oil and rapeseed oil.
It has tracked changes in the average cost of sunflower oil across major retailers including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi and Lidl.
