Pet food – The same supply chain issues that directly affect the grocery and also personal care categories are slowing down their shipments of pet food this summer, and a shortage of aluminum cans will only make things worse. Citing “inconsistent availability and ongoing sourcing issues”, the Trader Joe’s grocery chain declared in April that it would discontinue six pet food products. It’s definitely not easy to predict exactly when things will go back to the way they were.
“Food brands are promising they might et better in the next four to six months; others are saying it could be up to a year before we will see some of their products back on the shelves”, according to one Minnesota pet store general manager told local station KSTP this week.
