South Africa: Woolworths Ration Eggs as Shortages Persist

4 October 2023
Woolworths
press release

Due to the shortage of eggs caused by the avian flu, we need to prioritise the use of available whole eggs that meet our standards of food safety and quality for Woolies products made with eggs. As a temporary measure, we therefore have to limit whole egg purchases to 1 pack of 6 eggs per customer.

We are working with our farmers to ensure regular supply returns as soon as possible.
