Food firms and supermarkets are warning a shortage of carbon dioxide caused by a rise in gas prices is threatening UK supplies of meat and fresh produce.
"Without CO2, the bottom line is there is less throughput. With our sector already compromised with lack of labour, this potentially tips us over the edge."He said his business was already struggling to fill jobs to process poultry ahead of the key Christmas season when demand for turkeys rises. Carbon dioxide is a by-product of fertiliser manufacturing. US-based CF Industries said it did not "have an estimate for when production will resume".that the company "will run out within the next seven to 10 days without a shadow of a doubt".
A spokeswoman for the British Poultry Council, said: "CO2 suppliers are currently not scheduling beyond 24 hours in advance, meaning there is no visibility as to UK stocks and no certainty around deliveries.
Shortage or not, no one messes with that chicken... CO2 CO2shortage
Lucky that I've already got my ice-cream delivered :D
🎉🎉🎉Woo hoo Brexit 🎉🎉🎉
It won’t cause an issue for EU countries though…
The world produces 43 billion tonnes of CO2 a year and there's a shortage
The look on the birds face in that picture, it’s like it’s saying “checkmate”!😆
Maybe they should leave the 52% that voted to deal with this and give the supplies to those that didn't
I thought there was too much CO2? We need more of it now?
That chicken is mad as hell about it
Halal it is then 👍
As it did in 2018 and 2020?
Anyone who is in denial needs to go to their local supermarket. This is Lidl in Cheltenham today.
Could always not use CO2 just cut the expiry date so it's naturally fresh or freeze it.
