Meat rationing in the United Kingdom, which was implemented during World War II, officially ended on July 4, 1954. After the war, rationing continued for several years as the country struggled with food shortages and rebuilding efforts. The gradual lifting of rationing was a significant moment in post-war recovery, symbolizing a return to normalcy for many citizens.

Rationing of petrol in the UK officially ended on 26th February 1950. This decision followed the post-World War II recovery period, during which fuel rationing was implemented to manage shortages and control consumption. The end of petrol rationing marked a significant step towards normalization in the economy and the return to pre-war conditions.
The last item to come off rationing in the UK after World War II was sweets, which were finally fully de-rationed on February 5, 1971. Rationing in the UK began in 1940 due to wartime shortages and continued for many years even after the war ended in 1945. Other items like meat, butter, and cheese had been de-rationed earlier, but sweets remained restricted longer due to their scarcity.
The Food Rationing Program in the United States began in 1942 as an attempt to ensure the soldier fighting had enough food to survive. The war ended in 1945 but the rationing did not end until 1946.
Eventually, food rationing stopped at midnight on the 4th July 1954, when restrictions on the sale and purchase of meat and bacon were lifted. This happened nine years after the end of the war.
