Re: What product shortages are you seeing?

Before Christmas, I noticed no carrots or celery at Aldi's ( but
then they may not carry them regularly either)
I'm still very, very busy at work on developing alternate
formulations for standard products because the current materials
are on allocation. That's not to say that we can get the
alternatives either, but now we may have an advantage. Our new
owners are much bigger and may have some purchasing clout. (and
in at least one raw material, we have a better chance than they
do)
I do feel very sorry for our Purchasing Manager.
We have also noticed fewer gifts of food and calendars from
vendors and/or customers this year.

Thetis, my cryovials are taking months to come in as well, but
not that long I don't think. Bummer.
I suggest that you build a time machine and cover your butt by
ordering several kinds. In August.

If only. I suggested as much but they wouldn't do it. Those in
charge of spending for my supplies are new to science. Trial by
fire. The organization just started with science in summer
2020. It isn't critical yet but it will be in about 3 weeks.

Now is a uniquely bad time to be learning the science supply
chain game the hard way. Where are you?

I keep reading about the cream cheese shortage but I bought some
for the Christmas cheesecake with no trouble, and yesterday I
bought more for my chili. The selection was nearly endless.
Mr Q's favorite yogurt, that is Fage unflavored 2% fat, has been
devilishly difficult to source, and I had to go to five stores
to find Q-tips. Also, weirdly, when I dropped by the store
yesterday they were out of about half the usual kinds of milk.

We have been having milk problems for weeks!! We try to drink
organic and, if we can get it, organic lactose free. But lately
spouse has gotten any type of organic on the shelves and today
came home with regular lactose-free non-organic milk. We do not
buy cream cheese for ourselves but have a weekly “bagel bunch”
at our house. Spouse said that it’s been slim pickings on the
spreads for weeks.

Went to Aldi's last night on my way home from work (which is my
usual time), and they were completely out of bagged salads,
except one or two kitted salads.
I chose to get some celery to eat with my lunch, instead.
(Normal work lunch: salad, ham and cheese sandwich, crackers
(instead of potato chips), pickles, yogurt and cookies.) I
also get teased at work because I have learned that adding
Siracha sauce makes blueberry yogurt more palatable to my taste
buds.

A specific brand of weight management dog food. None of the
stores on my side of town have any. Amazon doesn't have it. One
Wal-Mart across town has some, per their website, but you're
limited to one can. I have 3 dogs, one can isn't going to go
very far.
I didn't think this was a big problem. They're dogs, they're not
going to let themselves starve, just give them something else.
There's plenty of other food on the shelves, just not this kind.
Oh no. My husband the Dog Whisperer insists they won't eat
anything else (yeah, right). Whatever, he works for himself, if
he wants to spend his days prowling the Internet and driving all
over the panhandle looking for this stuff, more power to him.

There's a big Dole bagged salad recall on at the moment.

Pet food shortages are definitely A Thing. My cat has had very
bad reactions to food swaps in the past (like ER visit bad), so
I find myself praying every time I pull into the pet store
parking lot that they'll have one of the two brands I know he
can stomach.
