Empty shelves in stores and no one knows when supplies will come.

Animal feed is becoming scarce in Munich.

Munich – Many cats still smack contentedly when they eat from their bowl.

But those who currently want to buy supplies for their house tiger despair of empty supermarket shelves.

Food is becoming scarce in many shops.

In Munich, customers sigh in the Edeka market on Theresienhöhe.

Because there are only a few black and gold Sheba cans left, some types of wet food are completely sold out.

The reason for this is probably delivery bottlenecks.

An Aldi Süd spokesman explained this to a customer on Facebook.

Edeka in Munich: Hardly any cat food, signs are intended to enlighten customers

Sure: The corona pandemic and the war in Ukraine have thrown supply chains around the world.

Numerous industries and brands are affected.

Even signs in Edeka point out that, for example, the Whiskas brand is no longer in stock - and that customers should please switch to other suppliers.

for now.

Because these are also visibly running out...

Customers at Aldi, Lidl and Co. and in the drugstore on Westendstraße also notice this.

Because anyone who senses better chances of getting supplies there will only find similarly empty shelves.

Empty shelves have not been a new sight for customers since the beginning of the corona pandemic.

First toilet paper was gone, then flour and sunflower oil.

There were various reasons for this: In the first lockdown, hamster buyers triggered a shortage of toilet paper and plundered the flour shelves.

Sunflower oil became scarce because of the Russian war of aggression, with Ukraine being one of the most important suppliers.

In contrast to toilet paper and flour, oil and cat food should be sold out longer.

Because the war is still raging and even with the lack of food there is no end in sight - the "Berliner Morgenpost" quotes the Aldi Süd spokesman.

At Edeka and dm, the prospects are likely to be similarly bleak.

Inquiries remained unanswered at the time of going to press.
