Woolworths has announced it will be easing product limits on toilet paper, rice, hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes with customer demand moderating and supply returning.
While limits will remain on these products, from Wednesday 28 April, these categories will have their limits eased from one per shop to either two or four per shop.
In some categories product limits will be lifted entirely, with pasta, frozen vegetables, tissues, baby wipes, baked beans, canned spaghetti, paper towels and disposable gloves no longer having any purchase limits applied.
Toilet paper and rice moving from a limit of one product per shop to four per shop.
Two limit per shop remains for eggs, flour, sugar, pasta sauce, handwash, cleaners and disinfectants.
Woolworths made the difficult but necessary decision to introduce purchase limits in March at the height of demand for groceries to ensure as many customers as possible could access what they need.
In recent weeks Woolworths has begun rolling back purchase limits on many products and categories due to customer demand moderating and working closely with suppliers to improve product availability.
Woolworths Supermarkets Managing Director Claire Peters said: “We’re pleased to be able to ease more of our product limits.”
“This is a positive sign following weeks of hard work from our teams, customers and significant support from our suppliers in meeting this unprecedented demand,” she said.
“We are now in a position where our customers will see better product availability across the categories that have been challenged by the increased demand over the past two months.”
