In Britain, they reported the risk of a food crisis due to the war in BV

This summer, UK residents may face food shortages in supermarkets due to problems with the supply of carbon dioxide used in the food industry due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This was reported by The Guardian newspaper on April 16.

"According to forecasts, the volume of CO₂ reserves in the country may decrease to 18% of the current level. This may have consequences for the energy sector, healthcare and the food industry, as carbon dioxide is crucial for the food industry, namely for its storage," said Peter Kyle, Minister of Entrepreneurship, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the kingdom.

It is noted that carbon dioxide is used to increase the shelf life of products such as salads, packaged meat and pastries. In addition, Co₂ is necessary for MRI scanning and is used in the nuclear industry. The British government is currently considering a plan according to which the country's factories will be obliged to maximize the production of their own CO₂.
