Booker is limiting customers to 10 cases of each type of beer, five cases of cider and five of soft drinks as a result of a shortage of CO2 used in carbonated drinks.
Booker said in a statement: “Due to the international shortage of CO2, we are experiencing some supply issues on soft drinks and beer. We are currently working hard with our suppliers to minimise the impact for our customers and cannot comment further at this stage.”
According to the BBC and ITV, there is a CO2 shortage because some of the factories in the UK and mainland Europe that produce it are out of action for maintenance and repairs.
