Grocers reassure customers about food supply as demand soars during coronavirus

Loblaw Companies Ltd. CEO Galen Weston says in a letter to the company's loyalty program members not to worry.

Weston says empty store shelves seen recently were the result of extreme buying levels as Canadians stockpiled supplies. He says the company's supply chain and store teams are working on getting the most important items back on store shelves, though some products, such as hand sanitizer, may take longer to restock.Empire Co. Ltd. CEO Michael Medline says in a letter to customers that the company, which owns Sobeys and Safeway in Canada, has never seen so many customers visit its stores, but he has great confidence in the country's grocery and food supply chain.

Why is Amazon allowing chinese hand sanitizer shipping from China -claiming the same thing Purell is claiming - packaged in a knock off Purell labelling for sale on their sites . You removed Purell because of the false claim lawsuit. The product is claiming the same thing. HOW!!

Glad to know that 😘Thanks

By the time they are able to restock...the next round of The CRAZIES will be out and about.

thank you for reporting on something to help quell panic and not incite it

Believe it when I see it. Suppose 'soon' could mean next week or next month, though.

Don’t bother putting hand sanitizer out again!! Give it to nursing homes and hospitals who need them ! Everyone else wash your hands !!

Should start shaming these horders. Shameful and very un Canadian.

they need to ration; no bread at all yesterday in our Local Metro Store. so hoping this has changed. I miss my bagels!

Good news! Now just keep the hoarders out....you know who you are

Personally I am not concerned about shortages however you can restock as often as you like but as long as people are behaving like ignoramuses the shelves are just going to end up bare again The level of panic is utterly ridiculous

People when the stores restock:
