The supermarket says it is introducing limits because of shortages.
Tesco is the latest supermarket to introduce limits on sales of certain fruit and vegetables due to shortages of fresh produce.
The shortages are largely the result of extreme weather in Spain and north Africa which have affected harvests. Crop yields in southern Spain have been hit by unusually cold weather, while in Morocco they have been affected by floods. Storms there have also led to ferries being delayed or cancelled transporting goods.
Industry sources suggested the UK may be suffering because of lower domestic production and a more complex supply chain, but said Brexit was unlikely to be a factor.
