Britain's largest supermarket chains were forced to shut down fridges and dispose of food during what has become the three hottest June days ever recorded in the country.Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S and Waitrose were all affected by the crisis, with branches across the UK closing chilled and frozen sections, and customers unable to purchase meat and dairy products.Reports of the failures spread rapidly through community groups and social media, with shoppers arriving to find entire aisles cordoned off and chest freezers standing empty.Staff at several stores were said to have bagged up food for disposal, with the situation worsening as the heatwave persisted throughout the week.
