If you're in north America I highly doubt this. I was in a major metro and there were no shortages of any food.

I think you just dont remember. Demand was super high on items like flour (remember everyone was suddenly a sourdough expert in "quarantine"?). There is one that you can look up and verify. These items were still being produced and were still available if you looked around, but I definitely remember wishing I had taken photos every time of all of the empty shelves.
I would seriously contend that overall, apart from cost, the supply of most items is far better now.
For what it is worth I live in Maine. There are no major metropolitan areas within 120 miles of me. edit:I live 200 miles from Boston.
I never saw any shortages on anything just limits on tp, eggs, sanitizer, etc flour was readily available

I remember that even the mainstream was reporting regional differences in what people were seeing. I remember being in shock every time I went to the store. Now it is normal to see empty spaces, where five years ago I would have found an employee to "see if there was some in the backroom."
