(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 22 - The largest fast food company in the world, McDonald's, is suffering from a shortage of potato chips in Japan due to the crisis in the supply chain in the world due to the Covid pandemic.
The BBC reports it.
The company said it is experiencing delays in shipments of the potatoes used to make its famous 'french fries'. As a result he decided to reduce the portions from Christmas Eve until December 30th. "McDonald's Japan will temporarily stop the sale of medium and large fries to ensure that all customers can continue to enjoy them," the chain said, explaining that the potatoes used in its restaurants in Japan are usually imported through a port near Vancouver, Canada. To face this moment of crisis, the US company has now decided to use cargo flights. This is not the first time that McDonald's has faced such a situation in Asia.In 2014, potato imports had stalled due to a protest by workers in the United States and even then the fast food chain had decided to sell only small portions of its potato chips in Japan.
