More than a fifth of UK shoppers' favourite grocery items are at risk from climate breakdown, a new report has found.

Consumers could also face shortages of bananas, grapes, avocados, cashews, cocoa, peas, canned tuna and tea in the coming years, as the countries they come from are hit by changing weather patterns because of CO₂ emissions, the charity Christian Aid has said.
