We're screwed. its just a matter of how long for.
Well, working specifically in food logistics and having dealt with Brexit from the moment the referendum was announced.
The Strategic Food reserves were shut down a few years ago
Every frozen & chilled storage facility in the country is at capacity, there's only so much stockpiling you can do.
Even basic products produced in the UK have a lot of EU ingredients -Butter as discussed earlier is actually traded in Euro's iirc which has lead to the increased price.
Nearly all UK eggs are in shell and liquid egg (Shipped in tankers) for your pre made food comes from the EU
The CPSS (Strategic petrol pipelines) have been privatised -lorries will be running out of fuel in the delays.
As the logistics guy mentions earlier, even small delays will block the entire UK motorway network, or at least the South stopping staples from moving.
"We" also know there are many unscrupulous individuals marshalling at ports hoping for an open border (which is the most likely fallback plan when shelves start emptying) so they can sneak things in during the inevitable chaos (Dodgy food refused entry into the EU mainly) but other more serious items.
TL:DR -Stockpile at least 4 weeks food flour, eggs, frozen milk, beans etc and hope for the best.
I also predict some minor riots & looting in London, Birmingham & Leeds! (Worst Case)
Biting the hand that feeds IT
