A notice in the meat section of the H-E-B store on Nogalitos alerted customers of the limit on Monday. H-E-B was not available to comment on the new limit. It's unclear if the restriction apply to all stores.Madalyn Mendoza for MySA
Amid a national shortage of chicken wings, H-E-B has imposed purchasing limits.
The grocer is restricting customers to only two packages of fresh or frozen chicken wings for the foreseeable future, said H-E-B spokeswoman Dya Campos. The restriction applies to all H-E-B stores.
Bars, restaurants and other grocery stores are also feeling the strain as the poultry industry faces a "very tight supply," National Chicken Council spokesman Tom Super told USA Today.
