The COVID-19 pandemic hit the supply chain of many products, including canning supplies. But, be patient! The supplies are coming back!
According to Newell Brands, makers of Ball® and Kerr® products, they have increased production, added more production shifts, streamlined production to manufacture more of the top-selling jars and lids, eliminated offseason production reduction, and are replenishing stock as quickly as possible. Consumers must practice patience and resist panic-buying to allow everyone to get their supplies.
Also, be very careful about scams and off-brands, there are many! Authorized retailers are the best sources for authentic products.
