NEW YORK, April 28 (Xinhua) -- Higher grocery prices have hurt U.S. consumers, but many Americans are also struggling to fill their shopping baskets with weekly staples like milk, eggs and packaged foods as pandemic-triggered labor shortages and other supply chain problems prevent stores from restocking quickly and efficiently, CNN reported last week.
That's at the grocery store level. For food pantries and food banks, "the problem becomes even more consequential because they rely heavily on subsidized bulk food purchases and food donations from stores and other providers to build adequate supply to meet the needs of the community," said the report.
