Portland customers of a national grocery chain are among those seeing egg purchase limits.

Trader Joe’s patrons nationwide have taken to social media to share that the company is prohibiting shoppers from buying over a certain amount of eggs. When KOIN 6 News contacted the grocer to confirm whether local customers were impacted by the restrictions, the company stated limits are in place at all U.S. locations.

“Due to ongoing issues with the supply of eggs, we are currently limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day, in all Trader Joe’s stores across the country,” Trader Joe’s spokesperson Nakia Rohde said in an email. “We hope these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe’s.”
