Tesco, a leading U.K. supermarket has lifted restrictions on buying multiple packs of shell eggs.  Introduced in November 2022, the chain allowed purchase of a maximum of two, ten-egg packs.

Shortages were due to producers ceasing production as a result of higher feed and energy costs without proportional increases in ex-farm price.  Tesco has since distributed over $11 million to support egg producers to cover costs of production, packing and distribution.

Tesco is committed to selling only U.K.- produced eggs derived from either colony modules or free-range systems with appropriate shelf-pricing by category.
