Supermarkets are facing shortages of some fresh fruit and veg due to extreme weather and rising energy costs.
Asda has put limits on purchases of fruit and vegetables as supermarkets face shortages of fresh produce.
Andrew Opie, director of Food and Sustainability at the British Retail Consortium said the disruption was expected to last for "a few weeks". Extreme weather is one of many factors which has been causing problems in the supply of some crops and during this time of year, a significant proportion of what the UK consumes usually comes from Spain and northern Africa.
Nigel Jenney, chief executive of the Fresh Produce Consortium, which represents around 700 businesses said costs from fuel, energy, packaging and distribution costs were also having an impact for producers.Anecdotal evidence suggests the UK has been bearing the brunt of the shortages, with little sign of empty shelves in other European countries.
