Sales of fruit and vegetables have been limited by some supermarkets.

Sales of some fruit and vegetables have been limited by three of the country's largest supermarkets, Asda, Aldi and Morrisons.

Asda has capped sales of lettuce, salad bags, broccoli, cauliflowers and raspberry punnets to three per customer, along with tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.Tomatoes and peppers seem to be the worst affected at both retailers but its unclear whether this is because they are popular.
