"...U.K. Suffers Marmite Shortage During COVID-19 Pandemic - The U.K. is experiencing a shortage of Marmite, the polarizing yeast-extract spread, due to a lack of brewer's yeast, an ingredient now in short supply after pubs closed down amid the coronavirus..."

 

Holy crap!  It really is true - rather than just a localised peninsula supply chain issue 🤯🤯

 

I am now in full-on, free-fall, panic buy, prepper mission mode!  I just scraped enough for today but have now fully exhausted in-house stocks. 

My wife has a jar of this extra old rubbish, saved for her brother in Sweden (whenever were actually allowed to go over there). 

 

What's it worth to you?! 😝

Absolutely!

 

It was bought a while back, but it's in date and everything. Not that I know how you'd tell if it had gone off. 🤪

Anyone else found Marmite in short supply on the shelves? 
 

I’m now A1 OPDEF Marmite and haven’t been able to buy it for passed 2 weeks!

 

Cant be Brexit related - apparently it’s made in Burton on Trent?
