Belgium and Luxemburg saw some of the worst damage, with 40 Delhaize supermarkets affected, with incidents also taking place in stores in Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands, Estonia and Finland. In a branch of supermarket Delhaize in Hoeilaart, just outside Belgian capital of Brussels, the BBC's Europe correspondent Nick Beake found frozen pizzas and ice cream among a mountain of food having to be scrapped - with this branch estimating the cost of the damage running to more than €100,000 (£83,500).
