A bunch of places had, Australia too. Whenever Adblue is mandated by law, they had a shortage. Guess who was responsible lol. (China, the answer most of the times is China).
The food one was coming mid last year. Company I was working for was changing their packaging to look bigger with less in it so people wouldn't notice.
There's also a push to store brand food over name brand. People think store brand is the same but they aren't always the same. Typically store brand is cheaper because the ingredients are cheaper. Maybe corn oil instead of coconut. Lower grades of sugar. That kind or thing.
You're right and some companies have known this was coming.
