The IT problems at Albert Heijn and its sister companies have not yet been resolved. A spokesperson for parent company Ahold Delhaize said on Tuesday morning that the group is "working hard" (hard bezig) on solving the problem and would not say more.

Albert Heijn is giving its supermarkets extra supplies on Tuesday. Stores are currently supplied from several distribution centres.

The chain keeps warning of empty shelves. It says availability varies by store and by product category.

Albert Heijn expects long-life products, non-food, frozen products and bread to remain better stocked than certain fresh products, such as vegetables and fruit.

"We are working hard to fully restore our delivery capacity," the chain said.
