New figures indicate Britain's crisp crisis is easing

Supply chain problems have been common in Britain due to shifts in consumer demand, the availability of workers, and Brexit.

Fewer shops in Britain have shortages of potato crisps this week than the week before, official figures showed, in a sign that the supply crisis for the popular snack food is easing.

Some 24% of food shops surveyed by Kantar Public for Britain's Office for National Statistics (ONS) — the equivalent to the CSO in Ireland — had no or low stocks of multi-packs of crisps between November 19 and November 22, down from 30% the week before.
