With non-perishables being shipped out to the military, civilians back home were forced to use ration cards which only allotted a limited quantity per household. The potential upcoming food shortage<\/a> is unfortunately a natural response to several global events, including:<\/p>\n According to the USDA, there is no official food shortage currently happening. However, retailers do report that the following foods are flying off the shelves quicker and getting restocked slower as of October 2022:<\/p>\n Thankfully products are getting restocked at a reasonable pace, despite suppliers being behind. If you\u2019re looking to stock your apocalypse bunker with some sustainable essentials, look into rice and whole grains, legumes, healthy oils and fats, essential meets like frozen chicken breasts, shelf-safe protein, salt, and a trifecta of nuts and dried fruits.<\/p>\n Food insecurity is becoming a real fear for Americans and civilians around the world. While there are efforts from the World Bank to supplement suppliers, it\u2019s going to be on all of us to get ahead and prepare.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the industry, there\u2019s a lot of weight on your shoulders to ensure Thanksgiving and the rest of the holiday season goes off without a hitch.
