An increasing concern about a shortage of imminent meat is to have real consequences in the world, because two major grocery chains are a limit on the amount that customers can buy. National retail giantCostco Recently announced a quota on the amount of fresh meat each buyer and several Kroger supermarket locations have instituted a similar policy.

The coronavirus epidemic has led to a rash of the closure ofMeat processing plants Through the nation, which has attracted somewhat serious warnings of the companies of Managing. Early in April,Foods Smithfield Closed a pork treatment plant in Sioux Falls, South Dakota because of a coronavirus epidemic and warns of aShortage of imminent meat. About a week ago, the CEO of Tyson Foodsissued a similar warning that the food supply chain broke "in a full journal announcement purchased inThe New York Times andThe Washington Post.

Kroger owns and operates more than 2,700 locations across the country, making it the largest grocery store by locations.CNN reported That the chain "would add buying limits to the chopped beef and the fresh pork in some stores" through the giant grocery store did not reveal how many of its locations would reduce beef and beef purchases and pork.

Costco also explained their meat purchase limits listed on its website dedicated toCOVID-19 policies:

Costco has implemented limits on some elements to ensure more members can buy goods they want and need. Our buyers and suppliers work hard to provide essential goods on demand and daily favorites:

The purchases of fresh meat are temporarily limited to a total of 3 items per member among beef, pork and poultry products.

Concerns about a coronavirus food shortage are so important that the Chairman of the Committee of the Chamber of Agriculture has recently warned that we could be three more weeks of pork in our grocery stores. representingCollin Petersonsaid "we are about three weeks of not having pork on the shelves of the grocery store. Maybe it will wake up people," he added "is a more important issue than to know if We are going to be hungry or not, it is a question of national security. The United States must have a food supply that we can depend on national security. If people have no food, we will have riots. "

This is why we will probably see less beef, pork and chicken in our local grocery meat case and why the rationing of the meat will probably extend to other grocery chains.
