Tesco has introduced purchasing limits on some products including eggs, rice, soap and toilet roll.
The move is to make sure all customers have access to the products, it explained in an email to customers, the BBC reports.
Customers are allowed to buy up to three of each item, the supermarket giant set out in the email.
The company also encouraged customers to shop alone to ensure social distancing in stores.
It sought to reassure customers it has "good stock levels" and customers should "shop as you normally would."
Tesco introduced limits on some products in September in a bid to prevent a repeat of the panic-buying that led to shortages in March during the first wave of the pandemic.
Meanwhile, more than 2,800 trucks are unable to get to France after the authorities introduced a travel ban late on Sunday night in the light of the new variant strain of coronavirus, that led to Tier 4 restrictions being introduced in the South East and London.
