Rationing move introduced as tomato shortage impacts Irish supermarkets

As a result of colder than normal weather in Spain, customers are asked to only buy up to two packs of tomatoes or peppers at some stores

Colder than normal weather in Spain has caused a shortage in some fruit and veg products here. Some supermarkets have had to put up notices alerting customers to the issue and saying they are restricting the amount of tomatoes or peppers customers can buy.
