Tbf if it was then I've never noticed it .. but I'm not 100% sure. Its sad all around, no matter where you live you should be able to access milk for your babyWait, security tags on baby milk wasn't a thing in the UK before?
We have had them in Germany for years - it's expensive and I think for at least a decade or there was already a limit on how much you could buy. Reason was that a lot of it was sold on Ebay, mostly to Asian countries, as there have been issues with contaminated formula there and a few babies even died.
Which turned some people into being in a "formula business" here, but they bought so much of it in regular supermarkets that they ran out of stock. I've first-hand seen Asian people being denied any formula because they were suspected of selling it online again.
There is a pair of Asian men who I see every morning walking back from Sainsbury's with a carrier bag each of baby milk.Wait, security tags on baby milk wasn't a thing in the UK before?

An ex roommate of mine during uni ran such a business back then too. It took a while for me to understand why she bought six or eight boxes a weekThere is a pair of Asian men who I see every morning walking back from Sainsbury's with a carrier bag each of baby milk.
Just baby milk. Nothing else. Every day come rain or shine.
They have been doing it for years. They are 100% reselling it
They're not arbitrary though and have been coming for over a decade. They (Dutch Government, and also Farmers!) just kicked the can down the road in implementing the EU guidelines on farming and fertilizers, more specifically ammonia and nitrogen emissions.
What is going on with Western governments? Aside from the shitshow of our UK cabinet, Dutch farms are effectively being shut down for arbitrary environmental rules. People are going to starve. And the media are silent.
They often say to try ‘one brand’ down with things. We have swapped Heinz Ketchup for Aldis - teenagers had no idea (yes I decanted it into the heinz bottle at first ) Lurpak for Norpak and don’t buy heinz beans anymore. Only use store brand tinned tomatoes not branded. Own brand pasta.Definitely going to go 'off brand' from now on. I bought Sainsbury's own ketchup for 70p whereas Heinz would have been £1.20. I'm normally a bit of a zombie in the supermarket, just reach for what I know and not think about it. But it really does add up.
I also bought Aldi's Ketchup and I prefer it to Heinz as its not as sweet.They often say to try ‘one brand’ down with things.

It really does add up. I actually prefer the taste of the Sainsbury's ketchup anyway, it's nice Heinz ketchup seems watery in comparison.Definitely going to go 'off brand' from now on.

It is arbitrary when there’s a global food crisis looming. I also suspect farmers know more about farming than politicians.They're not arbitrary though and have been coming for over a decade.

Also, dutch farmers are getting subsidies in the region of 100 billion to get up to date on the new farming regulations.
Just another piece of propaganda.
I for one am more worried about climate change, biodiversity and insect loss and the long term effects of eroding the soil and algae blooms - which these policies aim to tackle - which will make any food crisis we are having now look like bleeping childs play.It is arbitrary when there’s a global food crisis looming.
