Britain's food retailers appealed to shoppers on Sunday to stop panic buying during the coronavirus outbreak, saying purchasing more than they need would mean others will be left without.The British Retail Consortium (BRC), which represents supermarket groups including market leader Tesco (TSCO.L), Sainsbury's (SBRY.L), Asda (WMT.N) and Morrisons (MRW.L), said retailers have come together to write to their customers, calling on them to be considerate in the way they shop.
Their letter will be published in adverts in national newspapers on Sunday and Monday.
