The impact of the turmoil in Corona's global distribution network has also extended to the sale of French fries, a major hamburger chain.
McDonald's Japan has decided to suspend sales of some French fries products from the 24th of this month, saying that imports of raw materials from North America have been delayed.
According to the announcement, McDonald's Japan will temporarily suspend sales of "McDonald's" M size and L size.
The target is all about 2900 stores nationwide, and the sales suspension period is scheduled for one week from the 24th of this month.
About the reason In addition to the global distribution network disruption due to the shortage of containers due to the impact of the new corona, the company has a large scale last month near the port on the west coast of Canada, which is a transit point for transportation. It is said that the port is congested due to flood damage, and the import of processed potatoes, which are the raw material, has been delayed.
According to the company, it is the first time in about seven years to limit the sale of french fries.
On the other hand, the smallest S size will continue to be sold.
McDonald's Japan says, "We have continued to provide it by all means such as arranging airmail, but we are very sorry to our customers."
