The retailer introduces a temporary buying limit of three boxes per customer due to supply issues.
Sainsbury's has admitted some stores may be running low on some lines and has sourced eggs from Italy, despite previously committing to only buying eggs from British suppliers.Like households, farmers have also been hit by soaring energy costs in recent months.
They have also had to fork out more for wheat, a key ingredient in chicken feed, which has spiked as a result of the Ukraine war, with both Russia and Ukraine producing about 30% of the global supply. As well as rising costs, farmers have been hit by the country's largest ever avian influenza outbreak, which has led to millions of birds being killed or culled in the past 12 months.
Farmers have claimed that despite the price of a dozen eggs rising by about 45p in the supermarkets since March, they've only received between 5p to 10p of that increase and are not being paid a fair price. Therese Coffey, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, has previously said she is not concerned about the overall supply of eggs in the UK.
