Supermarkets Limiting Cooking Oil

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.

This is because most of the UK’s sunflower oil comes from Ukraine, which has resulted in restrictions applying to that product as well as olive and rapeseed oils at some supermarkets.

Tesco has announced that it is allowing three items per customer, while Waitrose and Morrisons have placed limits of just two items each.

Tesco in a statement said;

“We have good availability of cooking oils in stores and online. If a customer is unable to find their preferred oil, we have plenty of alternatives to choose from.

To make sure all of our customers can continue to get what they need, we have introduced a temporary buying limit of three items per customer on products from our cooking oil range”
