This follows a News24 report at the weekend that detailed how retailers were scrambling to secure egg supplies as the outbreak of H5 and H7 strains of bird flu wreaked havoc in the poultry sector. Customers across Cape Town and Johannesburg, where the outbreaks have been especially bad, were noticing emptier egg shelves in supermarkets.Woolworths said it was experiencing significant supply challenges "as was the case across the market", prompting the decision to limit the amount of eggs customers could purchase.-Fin24
