As the effects of a big dairy worker's strike begin to reach consumers, major supermarkets are beginning to ration milk sales to avoid violent Covid-style panic buying. Customers in Melbourne's south-east were restricted to two bottles of milk per person, including the Murrumbeena IGA after 1550 workers at Fonterra, Saputo, Lactalis, and Peters factories walked off the job. Woolworths home brand milk and cream, as well as some popular cheeses and yoghurts, may have been affected by this.
