Ranjit Singh Boparan says supply issues, as well as a shortage of workers, will affect the supply of turkeys for Christmas.

A shortage of carbon dioxide gas means Christmas dinners could be cancelled, the owner of the UK's biggest poultry supplier has said.has caused two large fertiliser plants in Teesside and Cheshire which produce CO2 as a by-product to shut, hitting supply to the food industry.

CO2 is used in the humane slaughter of livestock and to extend the shelf-life of products. It is also vital to cooling systems for refrigeration purposes, industry leaders have said.

Who gives a crap about poultry I’ll have a pizza I don’t care Christmas is all about Family. Sky news is cloudy right now and just want to Pss on everyone’s parade.

Ham is for xmas not turkey

Where’s Bernard he would not let that happen

Why does a price increase of gas mean they stop production of co2? Why not instead put the end price up of the co2? There appears to be the demand for it.

sirstan74 Hahahahaha wut?

Good

Christmas cancelled... I don't care! Predictable and boringly drab every year and frankly is now old hat. I cancelled this consumerism racket years ago.

Bloke says ‘there is potential for massive food waste’ and I think, we already have massive food waste!

Oh no! Sky has said that Christmas will be cancelled because there aren't enough turkeys! 😱

Hahaha week after week, new crisis after new crisis...give it a rest man. You’re meant to be a new outlet. 🤡🌎

Time to get in the nut roast.

leeedgerton93 😂😂😂

Speeding tickets the best prices. Message for info

Who needs turkeys anyway? The shortage will mean people diversify away from the outdated americanised tradition of turkey at xmas There are plenty of more interesting local delicacies that can be sourced fresh from UK farms and shores Pidgeon, winkles, goat to name but a few

Does anyone give a shit about Christmas.

This is great news, no fizzy drinks and no meat, everyone can convert to a plant based diet 🌱😂

What a load of crap

I’m having a quorn roast and I’m not vegetarian! It’s the only thing that would fit in my air fryer!

I’d rather eat bread and dust if it means a stop to mass meat production like this. I miss the days of going into a local butchers and actually talking about cooking and produce!! Fuck this crap we got in SM’s

Stop with the doom and gloom for crying out loud

I'll be making my usual vegan sausage Wellington with lashings of stuffing inside and mustard and cranberry sauce 👍

Scare mongering ...get ready for a massive price hike on meat

Shocking! Trying to scare people into panicking Christmas is not about all about the food.

Simples…. We’ll just eat something else 😂

Mon the turkeys! 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
