UK Taramasalata Shortage Intensifies Amid Bakkavor Strike

A pay dispute at Bakkavor's Spalding plant has led to a nationwide scarcity of the popular Greek dip, affecting major supermarket chains.

Industrial action at Bakkavor's Spalding site has caused significant disruption in taramasalata supply, with 700 workers on strike according to the Unite union.
Supermarkets like Waitrose, Sainsbury's, and Tesco have reported out-of-stock taramasalata, prompting consumer frustration on social media.
Bakkavor claims only 450 employees are striking and insists that its pay offers exceed inflation rates, countering union accusations of real-term pay cuts.
The strike, ongoing for six weeks, has led to international protests in Iceland, targeting Bakkavor's major shareholders.
Bakkavor assures that production will resume next week and that the strike will not impact long-term food supply, including their Christmas products.
