Aldi and Asda have removed all purchasing restrictions on fresh fruit and veg lines including tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers as shortages start to ease and supply increases.
The German discounter had imposed customer purchase limits on certain fruits and vegetables weeks ago, alongside several other major supermarket chains.
Retailers such as Tesco, Asda and Morrisons were also among the supermarkets to impose the limits, blaming bad weather in other countries for the low supplies of certain fresh veg.

On February 22, Aldi said it was limiting purchases of peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes to three units per person to ensure that as many customers as possible can buy what they need.
However, the retailer is now understood to be removing its limit of three per customer as supply issues begin to ease.
Big 4 grocer Asda began lifting final restrictions from today (14 March), on tomatoes and peppers, which had previoulsy been restricted to a maximum of three packs per customer.
Last week, it started dropping purchase limits on other products including broccoli, cucumbers, cauliflower, lettuce, salad bags and raspberries.
Disount grocer Lidl also said it would drop all its customer limits imposed on certain fresh fruit and vegetables.
Morrisons followed suit in removing the customer limits on cucumbers but kept restrictions of two per customers on tomatoes, lettuce and peppers in place.
Aldi is on the verge of overtaking Tesco as the biggest seller of British apples, new research shows.
