Supermarket says supplies of salad and beer running low amid trouble hiring drivers and staff self-isolating
Sainsbury’s has warned of gaps on shelves as supplies of some products including salads, beers and soft drinks run low because of shortages of lorry drivers and an uptick in staff forced to self-isolate because of covid-19.
Supplies of some non-food items has also been hit by global supply chain challenges caused by shortages of shipping containers, interruptions at factories and a shortfall in computer chips caused by surging demand for electronic equipment.
