Brexit introduced non-trade barriers and this is the result. Expect more shortages once the No Deal stockpiles are exhausted through panic buying.
Here we go again....
Headline suggests food shortages, Occado say no, not really.

Bit like the other day when the BBC headline "Are Covid patients getting younger?"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55586994
Yeah, the fountain of Youth is getting Covid ????

So Ocado says there is plenty of food, but warns that "staff absences across the supply chain" (due to Covid) may affect "a small number of customers". That's the gist of the article, in a nutshell.
So why then does the article go on to talk about Brexit and get opened up to HYS?

And have it tagged under the topic 'Brexit' - see the top of the article.
The last thrid of the article relates to Coronavirus vaccinations and it's there that it reports what the BMPA said about Brexit.
The article, unlike you, is not trying to turn the subject into another argument about Brexit.

So what was the reason/excuse for missing/substituted items from online orders prior to Covid? It happened regularly from all main supermarkets, some worse than others.
The article quotes "a severe challenge to the industry and to the smooth running of the nation's food supply chain" as a direct result of Brexit.
Do to 25% of the population who voted in favour of Brexit in 2016 still think it was worth it?
Do to 25% of the population who voted in favour of Brexit in 2016 still think it was worth it?
52% actually, called a majority for those who bothered to get out of bed and vote
As opposed to the less than 25% who voted not in favour of brexit.
Yes
This isnt a brexit issue - they are quoted
"Staff sickness and self-isolation means some food producers are cutting the number of product lines they offer."

Grabbing at straws! Suppliers to Ocado warn that due to staff illness and self-isolation means cutting products. Nothing to do with Brexit more Covid-19.
Its both according to the latter part of the article & in many other Newspapers.
Logic says its Its both & available facts support that conclusion.
The argument is really based on respective political viewpoints as to which is the primary reason in this case.

You mean when I see my local shops shelves full, I'm to believe you that they haven't enough?

Good spot, I didn't even see that!
It appears that the BBC have now adopted the habit of taking every news item which has the slightest gloomy outlook (regardless whether it has anything to do with Brexit or not), adding a couple of irrelevant paragraphs about Brexit at the end, tagging the story as a 'Brexit' topic and opening it out to HYS.

meanwhile many UK fishermen cannot export their fish due to brexit red tape,but apparently they knew what they were voting for.hahahaha
They do of course need to remain neutral on Brexit to avoid alienating any customers. So they blame the problems on staff sickness and self-isolation which may be contributory factors, but don't really provide an adequate explanation.
But the reality is that hauliers are widely reporting problems of cross-channel freight, increased red tape, fewer willing companies to provide the service.

Perhaps Ray should read the article again, and all the way to the end:
"delays at the border with the EU."
"coupled with disruption at ports due to new systems brought in after the Brexit transition"
So the claim that it has "nothing to do with Brexit" is just another lie, as we have come to expect.

I agree but the fresh produce imports and exports are without doubt being affected by the 'paperwork chain' delays at the ports, so there is a double whammy until that is sorted out. Hopefully
Perhaps re-read it yourself, same article "disruption at ports due to new systems brought in after the Brexit transition period"
It also says that problems at the borders are causing shortages. I suggest you read the article!
Rejoiners are like the Democrats in the US and their supporting a summer of BLM violence and occupations for Cities, that wasn't a violent revolution, a revolution is when a nut case with a staff, a buffalo headdress calling himself a Shaman is stunned to find himself inside the Capitol building, then that is a revolution. So it is anything out of the ordinary is down to Brexit.
Give it a rest, BBC!
Most unlikely I would have thought.
And have it tagged under the topic 'Brexit' - see the top of the article.

Except the new regulations and red tape regarding paperwork and delays across borders becomes relevant in terms of finding alternative sources for identical product when the primary supplier is adversely impacted by the virus.
So while you only look at the problems of goods supplied from UK sources you completely ignore the fact that finding an alternative supplier has now become more difficult.

At a complete loss what your idea of a BBC or any agenda is regarding this topic, unless it was just a reason to post a silly joke about a serious topic.

cheers 17.4 million loons,at least the shortages will spare folks the shock of the price increases due to brexit.
Why is this classified as a Brexit story?
The article states "Staff sickness and self-isolation means some food producers are cutting the number of product lines they offer."
So nothing to do with Brexit, but as there are no negative Brexit headlines for the BBC to put a HYS on, why not make one up?

Yes. And the article didn't mention Brexit at all either as it was staff shortages and cancelled orders, so obviously you didn't read the article but pulled the trigger anyway.
Brexit delays was actually mentioned in some of the Tory papers though, but of course nothing stops the irresistible urge for some to to have a go at the BBC for any reason whatsoever

Because Brexit is impacting our ability to get food into the country. If UK suppliers are struggling then EU ones aren't there as alternatives in the same way they used to be. So while I'm fine to accept the Ocado explanation it's pretty unlikely that Brexit is having no impact at all. Ocado are also probably being diplomatic and not blaming Brexit so as not to trigger the hard of thinking.

UK fisherman wouldn't need to export their fish if the UK public weren't so stupid about eating fish.
I’m sure good brexiteers like the fishermen know this is only project fear! It’s not really happening,or is it. I have no sympathy if they voted Brexit as this is exactly what they voted for, so instead I congratulate them for getting what they voted for.
EU red tape, please do get it right.

Ocado a huge disappointment. We were led to believe they would be delivering M&S products nationwide after Deliveroo removed by M&S.
Still no deliveries available in our area.
Sorry M&S but we have walked away from your unfulfilled promises and now use Waitrose and Tesco.

It's probably due to Brexit. Warnings were given, but ignored.
It says in the article at the bottom its down to staff shortages and illness caused by covid19 but the lefties at the BBC try and blame brexit for it again
But there's a whole generation that are not used to fish because its not been available here because they can sell our high quality for higher prices on the Continent. Which they're prepared to pay. We then get all the low quality crap from the Far East.

odd they don't mention who causes the delays The EU trying to punish the UK, Euronews went haywire with anti-UK stories when the headlines began to be about Bild using the UK's vaccination program to kick the EU Vaccine project up the rear end, it was quite amusing, anything to keep that off the main news.

So blame the EU, Fox told you how it would be, but you laughed and never read all he said, the EU wrecked what should have been the easiest trade deal in history because they can't afford the UK to prosper, more so now that covid lock-downs are pushing Southern Europe to breaking point. IF the UK does OK, then Italy for one will be looking to ditch the Euro but the EU won't let them.

They are waiting for Covid deaths to be released, or else Europe has just reported something they'd rather not make headlines.
Must be nice when you can get online deliveries. Funny how since lockdown 3.0 that it has gone from being able to get the odd one, to not a chance unless you spend hours in front the the computer refreshing the screen.
Amazing how in a lockdown people suddenly want all their food delivered. The majority are more than able to get out and do their shops and leave deliveries for the more vulnerable.

Thats a fabrication.
This was the single precovid Yougov poll around the 2019 GE that pretty much all media wasn't trusted last year.
The BBC came out better and has been rated far higher than all outlets since was rated the most trusted by a long way.

Perhaps you should read a bit more than the BBC. The forecasted delays at ports are for exports, not imports. These are forecasted delays, as in they have not actually happened as yet.
Fred, the article relates to 'Online Retailer Ocado' and Ocado have not reflected that in their comments, but instead the BBC have added that in at the end
I would also question just how much or little fresh meat are we importing from the EU and challenge ourselves over the coming months/years to try and shorten these supply chains, get more from local sources and reduce impact on the Environment

LOL, getting used to anything new takes time, but Brexit isn't the cause, the EU's refusal to let the trade deal take place without their 'politics' is the problem, but don't worry, our local supermarket shelves are fine

Then so as to be able to pretend no bias, correct headlines later in screeds of the article. Sometimes not till the last para. It is tedious, and obvious.
Right so the food shortages in Ireland and the container loads of fresh sea food destroyed due to hold ups and other transport disasters are all just fiction ?
LOL Tesco were 'substituting' products years ago, I don't remember the headlines "EU CAP and red tape causes shortages" I do remember the Project fear claims "Nissan closing Sunderland" and "Unilever moving to Holland" - neither of which happened, probably why remoaners have moved onto Ocado and some items being short.
Buried in the small print of the article by the BBC
"Staff sickness and self-isolation means some food producers are cutting the number of product lines they offer".
But don't let this stop the Brussels Biased Corporation trying to link the article to Brexit!

Why did the BBC have to even reference Brexit given stated cause. Anything to keep Project Fear alive perhaps by subtle intimation. The headlines says it all. Not 'shortages/substitutes caused by Covid'
what we do defines us

Reading the article, Brexit is mentioned as ONE of the causes.
Why are you and others of your ilk so obsessed with Brexit / EU etc??

Because the shortages are without any doubt caused by a combination of the 2. Theres clearly a (hopefully) short term import & export issue in terms of fresh produce. Its blathered accross all the media not just the BBC and you would have to be living in a box to miss it.

Of course the lack of Spanish fresh food is nothing to do with Global Warming and Spain being snow bound. ;-)

Thats because if you bothered checking out facts, it IS a factor as spelt out in the article and on same topic by the likes of the Daily Mail et al.
If you feel the BBC is the sole proponent of 'Project Fear' as you put it, suggest you draw the curtains, unplug all your devices and wifi and get a snuggly Duvet.

Yet again the BBC pushing its agenda before facts.
Bit like the other day when the BBC headline "Are Covid patients getting younger?"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55586994
Yeah, the fountain of Youth is getting Covid ????

For anyone who thinks BBC publish fake stories even though they carry exactly the same stories as other news outlets , here is a lovely photo of M & S near Dublin

Yet another false ,misleading and inaccurate headline from BBC News.
I've just placed an order with Ocado and I have a delivery slot of 2.00 - 4.00 pm tomorrow.
Stories like this explain why BBC is officially the least trusted news organisation in the country (YouGov).

Ray “ Nothing to do with Brexit. Read article again”
I did. It says:-
Ocado told its customers that from Friday "changes to the UK supply chain have affected some of our suppliers and may result in an increase of missing items and substitutions over the next few weeks."
That’s Brexit.

That's a different part of the supply chain. Wholesalers obtain their stocks from producers but where the problem lies is the producers of certain goods are facing staffing shortages, so while we might have tons of veg rotting in the warehouse we don't have enough meat products being produced to meet demand.
The departure from the EU and Covid makes finding a 2nd source of products more difficult

We are not. But the BBC is. If the shortages are caused by Covid, why has the BBC even mentioned Brexit?

Thats a fabrication.
This was the single precovid Yougov poll around the 2019 GE that pretty much all media wasn't trusted last year.
The BBC came out better and has been rated far higher than all outlets since was rated the most trusted by a long way.
Go on post a link to prove i'm wrong. My guess if you do is it will be from some agenda led RW one maybe?
Not even a nice try no cigar job

"We are not. But the BBC is. If the shortages are caused by Covid, why has the BBC even mentioned Brexit?"
The BBC reports that the BMPA mentioned Brexit as a cause, in its last paragraph, this seems a problem to you, The Mail on the same topic has Brexit in bold print in the first line. So who is it that's obsessed with Brexit?

LOL The BBC and the Mail are obsessed with remain - go and look up how the Mail changed it's allegiance once Dacre moved on. Sorry to upset you Remainers, but the Mail is one of yours ;-)
Why are Brexiteers so paranoid and defensive about Brexit.
Nobody is allowed to say there are any negative impacts without getting a storm of abuse.

Perhaps Ray should read the article again, and all the way to the end:
"delays at the border with the EU."
"coupled with disruption at ports due to new systems brought in after the Brexit transition"
So the claim that it has "nothing to do with Brexit" is just another lie, as we have come to expect.

Would all those blaming Brexit please read the article again before posting.
Quote from the article
"Staff sickness and self-isolation means some food producers are cutting the number of product lines they offer "
That has nothing to do with Brexit and everything to do with Covid.

a bit like all those children with covid that Matron Laura Duffel claimed, but the consultants rubbished - the reality and the political spin aren't always one and the same thing, and the left /remoaners like the Democrats control most of the MSM so their spin as 'news' is what you get, certainly on the BBC. Odd they never went back to re-interview Ms Duffel about her claims.
We are not. But the BBC is. If the shortages are caused by Covid, why has the BBC even mentioned Brexit?
Oh the irony. Don't be misled by on line videos of empty hospitals.
But panic buy when we tell you there might be shortages.
And odd that non of the food we can't export is not finding its way into UK stores.
It's not what you report it's how you report it.

Brexit was sold on the basis that everything would stay the same but that the money that we paid into the EU would go to the NHS. Everyone that voted for Brexit has now got to accept that responsibility. I have friends in musical theatre. From being well off they are now broke. The Arts contributed more in ONE month than fishing does in a year to the exchequer. The ERG has ruined the Tory party.
It was actually sold on the basis that much would change, because we actually want much to change. Give it 3 months and all of these exceptions will no longer happen and freight will move perfectly well. Meanwhile we can get on with deciding for ourselves what sort of political landscape we want.
1st prize for the daftest comment of the day. Theatre and the arts are closed for 1reason only and that is covid and covid only.
on the plus side, after 20 years at £107k per year 70% pension, mr farage family have EU Nation (German) passports, giving them visa free travel residency education reciprocal medical cover free movement for work in the E U. mr johnson snr has the same rights now he is a Frenchman
No. Few of any care at all about those issues. Fresh out of season fruit and veg is a nonsense to be eating quite probably largely a rich remainer food fad 'good' food obsessively.
Out is and was only about principal there was no economic part to it.

I read that article and it was quite clear an balanced. I & I expect most of the readers totally understood it.
At a complete loss what your idea of a BBC or any agenda is regarding this topic, unless it was just a reason to post a silly joke about a serious topic.
If so well done you.
