IRN-BRU supplies are under threat as producer AG Barr reveals it is struggling to make deliveries due to Britain's trade crisis.
The company said it continues to "monitor closely" the situation and is hopeful the issues can be resolved soon.
Harsh immigration rules, Brexit and the pandemic have led to a critical shortage of hauliers in Britain, as well as border delays.
Updating the stock market, Irn-Bru bosses said: "In recent weeks we have seen increased challenges across the UK road haulage fleet, associated in part with the Covid-19 pandemic, impacting customer deliveries and inbound materials.
"In addition, the risks associated with the wider labour pool and the current Covid-19 pandemic response are areas we continue to monitor closely."

The warnings came as the company revealed sales remain strong despite the pandemic, with growth returning following the reopening of pubs, bars and restaurants.
Bosses said there had been a heavy shift to at-home drinking of their products but with restrictions easing more customers are buying drinks on-the-go and in the hospitality sector.
Its pre-mixed cocktail brand Funkin saw some of the strongest growth in the six months to August 1 compared with a year ago, they added.
At-home cocktail sales rose 114.3% to £10.2 million and bar sales soared 229.5% following reopenings.

In the six-month period, total sales rose 19.5% to £135.3m compared with the same period a year ago.
Pre-tax profits were also up nearly four-fold from £5.1m to £24.4m – due to a £7m writedown on its Strathmore water brand recorded in results last year.
Chief executive Roger White said: "AG Barr is a growth-focused business operating in resilient and growing market categories, with dynamic brands, great people and a strong financial position.
"Our positive first-half performance reflects these fundamentals as well as the encouraging performance of recent innovation launches in both soft drinks and cocktails."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
