Supermarkets across UK limit cooking oil purchases as Ukraine war causes supply-chain problems

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

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 said it is allowed three items per customer while Waitrose and Morrisons have placed limits of just two items each.
