Supermarkets in Denmark place limit on cooking oil purchases
War in Ukraine has prompted at least three supermarket chains to ration purchases to avoid customers hamstering products
The Salling Group and Rema 1000 have already limited how much cooking oil consumers can acquire and now Coop has followed suit.
“We don’t currently have a lack of oil, but we are doing it out of due diligence,” Lars Aarup, the head of communications for Coop, said.
From now on, customers will be limited to buying three bottles of oil per day from Coop’s chains. The Salling Group announced rationing earlier this week.
In related news, Coop has announced it will let 100 employees go from its service centre in Albertslund due to rising prices brought about by the war in Ukraine.
