Meat shortage

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in breaks in the supply chain for certain goods, and shortages of products like beef, pork, turkey and other meats. In response, grocery stores across the country implemented limits on the amount of meat customers could buy. This sign at Woodman's Food Market in Altoona displayed these advisories in both English and Spanish.
