UK supermarkets limit cooking oil in supply-chain issue [View all]

Supermarkets across the UK have placed limits on how much cooking oil customers can buy due to supply-chain problems caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Tesco is allowing three items per customer while Waitrose and Morrisons have placed limits of just two items each, according to the BBC.

A spokesperson for British Retail Consortium, Tom Holder, said the move was a temporary measure "to ensure availability for everyone".

Most of the UK's sunflower oil comes from Ukraine, with the restrictions applying to that product as well as olive and rapeseed oils at some supermarkets.
