Morrisons and Waitrose have both suffered supply issues with Morrisons capping purchases to two per customer.
Some UK supermarkets have run out of peppers after a cold snap in Europe led to a shortage.
The supermarket said it was hoping to lift the cap in the next week or so because supplies were improving. Supermarkets were forced to ration a range of fruit and vegetables earlier this year due to poor weather in Europe and Africa leading to shortages. The shortages spread to other products, leaving shelves bare of fresh produce items including cucumbers, peppers and lettuce.
