Aldi, Edeka and Rewe: Corona causes supply problems - delivery delay for popular gourmet fillet

Some supermarkets and discounters are currently affected by increased demand and supply bottlenecks.

Sometimes there is even rationing.

• The pandemic is creating a high demand for certain foods.

• At the same time, there are supply problems due to increased delivery difficulties.

• Some supermarkets are more affected than others.

Munich - It's not always just toilet paper.

Other products are also

affected

by the pandemic and the

resulting supply bottlenecks

.

According to the

"Lebensmittel Zeitung"

, a German weekly newspaper for the food industry and trade, particularly

long-lasting foods such as canned vegetables and frozen foods are

particularly

affected

by

increased demand

.

Unlike in the first lockdown, this time there are no pictures of empty shelves and storms in supermarkets, but some food manufacturers are still struggling with delivery problems.

Rewe, Aldi and Edeka: delivery bottlenecks due to Corona

As the newspaper reports, some supermarkets are struggling with the current situation.

According to this, the

delivery failure rate

at Rewe is currently around 11 percent, normally

an extremely high number

, but still an acceptable rate in the crisis.

Also the

delivery service of Rewe

do have to compromise.

According to "

Lebensmittel Zeitung",

delivery slots are becoming scarce

in some regions

.

According to the report,

Aldi Süd

and Edeka

are also affected by high demand with simultaneous supply problems.

Aldi Süd speaks of "worldwide shipping problems" during the pandemic.

Sometimes it gets really tight, especially at

Iglo and Bonduelle.

Saving the gourmet fillet: fines as leverage

Both companies confirmed the current bottlenecks to the newspaper.

This means that the dealers cannot be fully supplied, which is why

the goods

are sometimes

rationed

.

For fans of the popular

iglo gourmet fillet

, this is definitely news that could cause stomach ache.

According to the report, supermarkets and discounters are trying

to put pressure on

suppliers by

demanding penalties

for delivery failures.
