Following widespread panic-buying in supermarkets in March, producers are now urging customers to eat foods going unsold.Britons and Europeans are being urged to eat more steak, chips and cheese because of a food surplus caused by the closure of restaurants and bars.

Despite widespread panic-buying in supermarkets across the continent in March as people responded to the corona virus crisis, food producers are now calling on customers to stock up again.

In Belgium, the trade association for the potato industry is calling on people to consume more of the nation's world famous French fries, as they remain unable to eat out due to the impact of COVID-19 .Known as the real birthplace of finger food, Belgium's 5,000 frites stands are all closed.

"Traditionally, Belgians eat fries once a week, and it's always a festive moment," said Romain Cools, the secretary general of industry group Belgapom.Now, we are asking them to eat frozen fries twice a week at home."

The demand for frozen potatoes has taken a nosedive in the recent weeks, with the Belgian industry facing a possible loss of €125m (£111m), if thousands of tonnes of surplus spuds go unsold this year, according to Mr Cools.
