Looks like they're manufacturing a food shortage in the UK now.. My food order is fine, only a chocolate bar that's been substituted but everything else is present.
Curious that the images in the article seem to feature plenty of food each side of the empty gaps..

New pictures today showed aisles at some supermarkets already empty of cheese, meat and fresh vegetables as an expert warned food chains were 'starting to fail' due to staff shortages exacerbated by the 'pingdemic' - and one police force struggled to answer 999 calls.
Sainsbury's, Tesco, Lidl and Morrisons stores in Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh and Southampton were seen with significant gaps on the shelves in sections including frozen fish, pizzas, bottled water, ice creams and packaged salads.
The images will raise concerns that a lack of supermarket staff and delivery drivers are leading to delays in replenishing product lines, although it is likely that many of these products are in higher demand in the summer, while other shoppers reported plentiful supplies.
Helen Dickinson, CEO of the British Retail Consortium, said: 'We are already seeing a serious impact on retail operations as a result of staff having to self-isolate and this will only get worse.' She demanded an end to 'needless quarantine' for people who have been double-jabbed and tested negative.
In the face of widespread anger over labour shortages as Covid cases continued to soar, the Prime Minister this week announced a plan for a 'small number' of critical workers to be able to continue their functions.
But British Meat Processors Association chief executive Nick Allen criticised 'confusing messages' from the Government as he said ministers have not clarified who is applicable.
