Below is the full statement from Kroger on the limits:

"There is plenty of protein in the supply chain; however, some processors are experiencing challenges. We feel good about our ability to maintain a broad assortment of meat and seafood for our customers because we purchase protein from a diverse network of suppliers.

At this time, we have added purchase limits on chicken and fresh pork, and customers are being limited to two pork items and two chicken items. We are monitoring conditions and the supply chain daily for changes.

We are asking our customers to shop responsibly and purchase only what they need, knowing that we will continue to replenish stores daily.“
