Not too sure if this may be a cause of the eggs shortage. My friend who shops at Sainsbury’s (she has no other supermarkets bar a Coop) saw a note by the eggs saying there’s a shortage of pulp cardboard boxes and using more plastic.
i don’t get stock piling eggs as they can be used 10 days after the use by date. Mine are dated 5th. That’s under 4 weeks if use them 10 days later Unless making cakes and freezing them up.0 -

I asked the store manager in Lidl about the 4 packs of Newgate beans, he says that they are discontinued for the moment but he is of the impression they will be back.
Meantime they had single tins on the shelf @ 28p.0 -

gozaimasu said:Get real with the eggs. Use by date or not, test them by putting in water. If they float, bin them. Except they still might be ok if you crack them open and the don't smell rotten. Use your "common sense" instead of being brainwashed by use-by dates, which are always on the cautious side so that you don't sue companies for your diaorhea.2
