The chairman of Tesco has warned in mid-October of short-term fresh food shortages after the Brexit transition period concludes at the end of this year.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV John Allan said: “We can’t rule out the possibility that if there is dislocation at the ports of entry to the UK there will be some shortages of some items of fresh food, at least for a short time.”
He added there was no need for consumers to panic or stockpile items as any disruption will normalise quickly.
