Shoppers are being left disappointed as hundreds of items are missing from supermarket shelves.
Post-Brexit problems are being blamed for much of the disruption, although some chains claim that a change in buying patterns, with more consumers at home in lockdown, is having an impact.
Everything from Volvic mineral water to Scottish smoked mackerel and Cadbury’s confectionery was missing at various points in our shopping trawl.
Marks & Spencer has been highlighted as one grocery store affected by the disruption to UK supply chains and there were a number of items missing when the
Irish Independent visited.
However, Tesco also had some notable omissions when we visited its shop in Clarehall, north Dublin, with labels even indicating some stock won’t be delivered until February.
